You don’t choose who to love and who not to love, it’s always about finally finding that one person you hope to share your life with, care for, and have that growing love through the years. When you find that person, distance won’t really matter. Geographically speaking, distance is just the difference between oceans and mountains, roads and bridges, kilometers and miles, but can always be crossed, traveled, and reached.
Even today’s advance technologies have blessed long distance relationships with the means of bridging distance gaps through easy and practical ways of communications such as emails, internet chats, pc video cams, and more. Although nothing can replace the person actually being there, these technologies make long distance relationships a little easier to bear, scraping off some of the relationship pressures, as well as giving the opportunity for constant communication.
So how does one survive long distance relationships? Apart from unvarying communication and the fact that you truly love each other, two important words will make up a big part of your relationship, TRUST and HONESTY. These two words are the key foundations to fruitful long distance relationship, without which the relationship is bound to be doomed. Take one from the other and the relationship will go crumbling down. Besides these given facts, there are certain things that one can do to cope with long distance relationships:
Share as much with each other as possible.
Keeping each other up to date with events that happen or new friendships with people in your personal life is an excellent way to keep the relationship healthy and alive. Remember, long distance relationships do not mean no longer sharing things that your partner can’t see or literally know about, or things that you would deem unimportant to him. This in fact are the things that will make you feel both secured and satisfied.
Give importance to how many times in a week you stay in touch, having a stronger and loving bond in long distance relationships, entails hearing from one another frequently, living no room for that “little green monster” of doubt and jealousy to begin a spark of paranoia about anything.
Agree and lay down a set of expectations and rules.
Knowing how much commitment the both of you is willing to put into the relationship, as well as the amount of loyalty one would be ready to give and receive, is very important. Making it understandable that none of you will be dating other people as long as the romantic relationship exists clears the air of doubt, concern, and worries. Being apart is hard enough to let future mistakes and misunderstandings get the better of your relationship.
Never feel scared of telling you partner your needs and wants; you ought to have the opportunity of speaking from your heart, in the same way that your partner deserves to know the truth and decide if they can provide it.
Have a light at the end of the tunnel.
With all long distance relationships, knowing when all the waiting will end and both of you would be together for good, will balance the frustration of being apart. It is always good to talk about and agree on who is going to relocate and when, as this takes the pressure off the subject and puts some sort of deadline for the “long-term togetherness”.
After all, not being able to envision when everything will be normal for the both of you, is like not being able to see success in your relationship. It’s like believing in something yet knowing it’s not there, so the best way is to set an aim to when the entire wait comes to a close and the “together-forever” begins. Then, most importantly, work together for the realization of that aim.
