Top Nine Things Which Help with a Long Distance Relationship

Long distance relationships are always hard. Don’t be fooled into thinking anyone can do it. They can be costly emotionally as well as money-wise. They drain you. But if your partner is worth it, give it a go. Don’t give up too early, there are rewards as well as downsides. Such as the time you are together is even more special. I’m speaking from personal experience, as I have a girlfriend that I’ve been with for 18 Months, living in different countries.

1. Make sure you talk everyday. Try and talk for at least 30 minutes when you do talk, so that your partner doesn’t feel like you’re avoiding them so much.
2. Emails are good. They can help your partner feel less stressed, or miss you less. Writing a love letter, but in the form of a email is always a good idea.
3. When you are together, try not to fight, and make good use of the time you have.
4. Take pictures/videos of the time you are together, and then talk about the things you loved with your partner. They will help you remember the good times
5. Phone calls are everything. Try and have one for at least a hour as much as possible, hearing your patner’s voice feels really good.
6. Be cute! If life has given you hard a time that day, try not to take it out on your partner.
7. Be completely honest with your boyfriend/girlfriend, tell them exactly what you’re gonna do and who you’re gonna be with. Lying only makes things hurt, even if it’s a little lie, or keeping a little secret.
8. Don’t think you’re alone. The other person is going exactly through what you are.
9. Love, love, love is always a good thing, and being apart only makes it grow stronger each time you see each other.
