Closeness isn't only measured in kilometers.
Romantic attachment can affect how psychologically near or distant another person feels.
A partner who is physically far away can still occupy a surprisingly large part of someone's thoughts and everyday decisions.
Shared routines, frequent communication, and expectations can maintain this sense of connection even during separation.
That's one reason two people in the same room can sometimes feel emotionally distant while long-distance partners can feel extremely close.
Physical distance and psychological closeness aren't necessarily the same thing.
