Do you think a couple can go that long without seeing each other and not be emotionally affected?
There was a woman telling her husband:
“We don’t talk like we used to anymore. You’re not as attentive or emotionally present as before.”
But this couple has gone three and a half years without seeing each other physically because of immigration procedures. The husband is in Africa, the wife is in the United States, and for all this time their relationship has mostly depended on phone calls and video chats.
The husband explains that after three and a half years without seeing each other, the distance naturally starts to emotionally drain the relationship and the communication. He also says that no video call can fully replace physical presence, shared moments, and spending real time together as a couple.
In your opinion, what advice would you give to the wife? And what advice would you give to the husband?
