a bond that cements the foundation of a relationship, it keeps it going.

When communication is lost or deteriorating, it creates a rocky atmosphere. There are times when my ex-boyfriend would lose his phone or because he didn't pay his bill on time he didn't have service. Sometimes, it could be weeks even at times a month before I heard back from him. Having been in a long-distance relationship with said ex-boyfriend, strong communication is definitely a MUST. If you can't voice how you feel to the one person that should make you feel at ease then how can have a healthy relationship that truly works? Silence is not a substitute for everything is fine. Once you stop communicating, that uncomfortable and awkward air between the two of you won't go away through avoidance. There will be a lack of trust, because if you can't trust him to hear what you have to say than inevitably you don't trust yourself. And trust is the building block in which your relationship thrives and grows upon.

Once the excitement and passion is lost, there is no substitute (unless you look outside of the relationship itself but that is another can of worms altogether!). Maybe, you settled for what you could get out of the relationship and accepted it for what it is and was. But now, you realized that you deserve more than that. You deserve the real thing and you deserve to feel loved and be loved in return.

Which in turn leads me to: WHEN YOUR HEART ISN'T IN IT ANYMORE and WHEN YOU'RE COMPROMISING YOUR HAPPINESS AND SENSE OF SELF-WORTH IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER. When you've truly and know it full-well that you've lost the reason behind why you're together and lost the attraction for one another,
