Socialite and entrepreneur Zari Hassan has opened up about how she maintains her long-distance relationship with husband Shakib Cham, revealing that constant communication has played a key role in keeping them connected.Zari admitted that being away from each other is not always easy, but said they make an effort to stay updated about each other’s daily activities through frequent phone calls and conversations.We call each other like 1000 times daily. I update him about my stressful meetings and he comforts me, advising me to take some juice. He does the same to tell me about his day, when he’s from praying at the mosque, when he has gone to the shop, or when he is with his friends.The mother of five explained that their regular communication should not be mistaken for controlling behaviour, saying it is simply a way of maintaining trust and closeness despite the distance between them.There’s nothing wrong with that, it doesn’t mean you control the man. We are in long distance, communication is key.She revealed that Shakib is intentional about keeping her informed because he knows how important communication is to her, joking that failure to update her could lead to disagreements between them.According to Zari, people often misunderstand her expectations in the relationship and interpret her desire for communication as being controlling, yet she believes couples should define what works for them.It has tested me – Zari Hassan opens up about relationship struggles with Shakib“People want to think for you how your relationship should be more than you,” she said.Zari also shared that even during personal moments, Shakib ensures they remain connected, giving an example of how he informs her about his whereabouts, including when he goes for steam baths.Even when Shakib is going for steam, he tells me he has left the phone charging at the reception and calls me after the steam, all sweating. I also tell him what I’m doing. @oliviahshatelwabebe #oliviah #creatorsearchinsights ♬ original sound – OLIVIAH WA BEBE The post How Zari Hassan uses frequent calls to maintain trust with Shakib Cham appeared first on MBU.
