According to her, she never counted the cost involved in managing a relationship where both partners stayed worlds apart until she experienced it herself.It appears that after several years of living with her husband in Ghana, she has now relocated abroad and must adjust to staying connected with him despite the physical distance.

In an Instagram video spotted by The Independent Ghana, Afua Asantewaa expressed, "Long-distance relationship is very easy. It is not difficult...hmm..those were the exact words I used to say some time back. You know I thought it wasn't a big deal. I mean you could be talking with your partner and all that...[She yelled], "Until I experienced it."

"And wait, let me ask, is there some sort of measure you guys follow or is it some divine strength that you guys have, that you are able to stay apart that long...she yelled again "It's difficult o. It it is di-fi-cult"
