Tips for overcoming trust issues in a relationship & Exploring the challenges and rewards of long-distance relationships

In my experience, there have been numerous instances of fights and disagreements, particularly related to issues of disloyalty. It's disheartening to constantly come across online narratives that portray long-distance relationships as inherently fragile and likely to fail. However, I wonder if there is more we can do to influence the outcome, or if it's solely a matter of fate.

In my experience it takes two very grounded people for a LDR to not be consumed by distrust jealousy or control.

Also if someone has confused infatuation with love and think they're inlove when they're actually just infatuated, will also cause problems.

Or someone who only dates someone to not feel lonely.

@Queendragonfly This is the best perspective someone has offered me today. It's true that feelings can be developed with a different individual and that will most likely be infatuation. When this is considered I find confidence in LDR.
