I have experienced long distance relationship. Before that, we lived together one year and we long-distance just two weeks and we broken. In the beginning, everything is very good. Half a year, we feel we have some problems, not very enjoy this relationship, then she went to another country.

If you want to have a good relationship with someone, you need have very same topics, you can talking with him. If you live in the situation, it’s changed, you want to say something about you, but she don’t know. I think this is a problem. The hobby is not important, the topics is very important.

After half a year, we thought that there were we have some problems, we didn’t enjoy this relationship, then she went to another country.

If you want to have a good relationship with someone, you need to have common topics, you can talk with him. If you live in different places, it’s changed, you want to say something about you, but she doesn’t  understand . I think this is a problem. It’s not important to share common hobbies, the common topics are more important.
