Being in a long-distance relationship can be tough when students are in college and the
statistics aren’t in their favor for them.
Blogger Mrjana Dobric wrote about some statistics in a blog she posted. On the blog,
Dobric wrote she said the average long-distance couple lives 200 kilometers away.
Dobric says that the average long-distance relationship ends in 4.5 months. As well she
mentions how in long-distance relationships statistics indicate that 55 percent of people
are worried that their partner will meet someone else.
Jackie Gendron was someone who was in a long-distance with her boyfriend for all four
years of college. As well as for a few months after college due to her job. She is
someone who has experienced all the ups and downs that come with being in a
long-distance relationship.
“Don’t force the relationship to happen. If it’s not working out, it’s not
working out. but forcing each other to spend all their time together or fly to each other or
drive to each other or talk all the time. Kind of takes away from your experience in
college.”
The New York Post said that people who have been in long-distance relationships claim
that it has a high chance of succeeding. As well that the company Refinery 29 did a
study and report up to 75 percent of college students have been in a long-distance
relationship at one point in their life.
Gendron is now married to the man she was in a long-distance with during her college
years. They got married in the summer after being together since 2014 and shortly after
that, they moved to Norway. She now lives there with her husband Miles Gendron who
plays professional hockey there. They are a good example of people who were able to
stay together through the years of being long-distance.
Jackie has grown a big following over tik tok in the last few moments. She has been documenting her life with her husband who plays professional hockey. She talks about all kinds of things and what she experiences with being a hockey wife.
