Long distance relationship help/advice?

Hi there,

Long distance relationships do work, as long as both people are willing to try. There are certain rules that help LDRs to stay strong and healthy.

It is very important that you clarify from the start, what you expect from this relationship. How often will you be in touch? Is is an open relationship? etc. Making sure you are on the same page will save both of you from future drama and heartache.

Discuss and plan if possible, when and under what circumstances you will be able to unite and live in the same area. This is will arm you with lots of patience and courage. Feeling that your LDR is something temporary, can fill you both with hope and expectations and make the time you spend apart seem less painful.

Keep in touch every day. It doesn’t have to be a conversation for hours on the phone.

Just remember that being apart is not always a negative thing. Not being able to be with your partner physically, can actually improve your communication with them, because you both learn to listen.

Try to see each other as often as possible. And make sure to have a great time (no pressure!) this will keep you going and longing for those moments.

Finally one thing you need to remember is that long-distance relationships, as every other relationship, are built on faith, love and understanding. Although they need a little more effort because of the distance factor, it is possible to make them work and lead them to a very happy ending.

One of the most important things in a long distance relationship is that the time you spend together should not feel like a vacation. It can feel like that sometimes, especially if you're actually going on a vacation. All couples rejuvenate their romances with a vacation now and then. But you have to be careful to keep the LDR itself from feeling like a vacation away from your life. In a quality relationship, each partner is part of the other's life -not a break from it. You should try to do what you used to do in your everyday life when you were not separated. That can mean going back to familiar restaurants or cooking favorite meals, maybe watching TV together or visiting friends. Remember to be relaxed and not obsess about making "every minute count." Think of it as picking up where you left off, even if all you have is a weekend before one of you has to go back.

Hope this will help

I am currently in a long-distance relationship and I see my boyfriend every other week. It is sooooo hard! Really the best things that have worked for us are...

1- Setting the date for the next time we'll be together and never cancelling on that. Then counting down together- knowing we will be together in 10 days, or whatever, really helps

2- Talking every day or night at the same time. It's like a little date. We talk at five everyday right after I get out of school (I'm in law school four hours away from him), so it feels like I'm coming home to him and telling him about my day

3- Sounds lame- but send letters in the mail the old fashioned way. I love this!

4- Make plans for the next time you'll be together. Like what restaurant you will eat at or something.

It sucks no matter what, but these things help :)

I've been a long distance relationship before, and I'm still with him. If you really love each other, and can't see yourself with anyone else but her, it'll all fall into place. Yes many long distance relationships dont work, but there are many that do. You have to have constant communication. Its great you see each other on the weekends! Keep doing that! It'll work out, you just gotta have strength and faith in your relationship. Try getting a webcam, it helps. Once in a while do something cute to remind her that shes always on your mind. =] hope that helps.

I had one long distance relationship and it was the best I'd ever had... we were so in love. Then I moved closer and it all fell apart.

Distance skews reality. When you don't spend a lot of time together you almost always see the good. The bad gets over looked. And when it's time to be together all the time you wonder why everything isn't as great anymore.

Just be careful and don't turn her into someone she's not in your mind

I'm pretty much doing what you are doing now.

Try to make the time you spend together enjoyable. Go to a concert, party or have a romantic dinner.

I get told that long distance relationships are harder, but hey any relationship is hard. I think LDR could work out just fine, especially if you put a lot of effort into them.

So i have done this before.... More than Once. I just kinda make sure we talked every night.. And was completely open with each other. I mean my ex Fience lived in Washington and i live in Kansas so i mean... yeah... anyways... keep seeing each other every weekend and just rely on each other to be your support. You will have a great relationship... If you want more you can email me...
