It takes a lot to grow into a relationship which can last without the gradual or sudden lack of frequent communication.

No matter how physically close or distant the partners are, they can be tested through the act of breaks to learn how to be with themselves.

Either partner can begin to face emotions that require them to be with themselves long enough to make grand discoveries that would not have been possible with their partner actively present and/or available. Especially on the phone or texting.  

Of course, insecurities and past traumas, combined with the wrong people in their ear(s), can convince them that the silence can be a sign of quietly quitting the connection, or even infidelity. Sometimes both.

But if your mutual love has stood one test after another related to moments like this, to the point where the only person they would leave their partner for is themselves, those fears are the last thing to entertain.

So, remain patient.

Give both you and your partner grace in this period of individual growth. You are both in your right to miss what you do together. If meant to be, those moments can return with a greater strength than either of you could have ever imagined.

There is no comfort in accelerating its ending just to fill temporary pleasures.

Your future together depends on that.
