EP6: LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS - How to survive & How They CHANGE You!

In this episode the Suddenly Twenties girls bring a lengthy discussion about long distance relationships! By looking at three very contrasting long distance relationships we analyse how to survive long distance relationships, things that make or break long distance relationships, successful long distance relationship stories and unsuccessful long distance relationship stories! The three long distance relationships are as follows:
- Stephanie - 1 year long distance in Year 12 in 2015 living in different countries with a 4 hour time difference - but this year followed a massive fight before committing to a year apart which had a significant impact on how communication and conflict resolution flowed through the long distance! This relationship successfully survived the year long distance for two years living together before splitting ways in 2018.
Sharna - 1.5 years long distance in 2017 living 8 hour road trip apart. They broke up to avoid long distance originally but ended up back together mid-way through their time apart before re-connecting in person! This long distant stint was successful and they are still happily together today!
- Remy (GUEST) - 1 year long distance 8 hour road trip apart, with no end-date and competing university and lifestyle priorities. This relationship ended mid-way through their long distance stint!
