On the flip side...
The other secret to maintaining a long distance relationship is if both parties just couldn't care less about communicating at all! Once-in-a-blue-moon calls, few-and-far-in-between SMS-es, and no proper conversation whatsoever. From both parties. Those relationships may not be the happiest or most fulfilling, but they are easy to maintain, and usually survive the time apart. Cos, come on... If they don't care enough to talk, I think we can pretty much assume that they wouldn't care about anything enough to pick a fight either. Heh.
So, yeah. Those are the two opposing communication systems the parties in long distance relationships can practice in order to help their relationship survive its time apart. Oddly, both seem to work; but in totally differing ways. As for me, I've tried them both. And if I'm honest, the latter one's a hell of a lot easier to manage than the former.

You know what's the thing that becomes very obvious telling you that a relationship is nearing to an end? It's when either party doesn't even want to dispute, argue or bother to comment on anything that the other does. Doing the latter, would definitely end things really fast.
Gotta say, sometimes having an argumentative relationship may not be the best thing, but it sure does teach you all you need to learn about the other party =)

– Oh, I totally agree. But you can only live up to all that bickering for so long. It gets tiring. After awhile, you've just gotta learn to pick your battles. Not everything is worth an argument. Let some things slide and only fuss up the big stuff. The stuff that really matter.
