Anyone have any advice for long distance relationship.?

My best advice is to only get into that if you have a long term plan, e.g. in one year we麓ll move to X city.. or in two years, let麓s travel together... or in six months one of us will move to the other麓s city, etc.





Don麓t do it without having a direction or the intention to one day be in the same place.

Well,for one long distance relationships don't last long for some people,cause some can lose intrest in that person,dued to not talking and seeing him/her in person. Beleive it or not,seeing him/her in person brings more of a stronger bond to relationships.,But,then on the long run you start to get too curious on his/her trustfulness in a long distance relationship and which leads to assumptions.Anyone have any advice for long distance relationship.?
I've been in a long distance relationship for 3 years (due to both our jobs, which are both way too lucrative to leave at this point. We do have plans to transfer but are taking small steps. We see each other 1 or 2 weeks a month, we live about 5 hours away from each other.) and am living proof that they can %26amp; do work, but only if you BOTH put forth the effort and really truly honestly want the relationship to work.





Obviously the phone is a huge connector. If you both have busy schedules, pick a time where you both have free time and can actually talk without being interrupted. Ask about the small things. How their day was, anything exciting happening with work, new stories about their crazy roommates, ANYTHING! Just talk. Texting helps a lot too, it fills in those times you can't actually be on the phone and makes you feel like they are still there.


No matter what you are going to have to either learn to trust them, or the relationship will fail hands down. Talk about everything, how you are nervous about investing your emotions into a relationship that might not last, state your boundaries (is it okay for them to go out for a drink with a co-worker of the opposite sex, etc...). Tell them exactly what you are feeling and thinking. Open communication is the biggest thing! Is this someone you could see yourself being with forever? Do you really want to commit and invest a lot of time, effort, emotion, and hardship to this person who lives so far away? If this person is someone you could see yourself with for a long time, do you have plans to eventually move closer %26amp; create a life together? Would your life or their life permit that? Those are the questions I asked myself early on to determine whether or not long distance relationship was worth it. Make sure that you are getting what you want/need too. NEVER put in more than you are getting out. A relationship is 50/50 and needs TWO people to work.








When you do get to be with them in person again, make the most of every minute you get together. Make sure neither of you have any other priorities or plans. Do something special, just the 2 of you. Alternate who comes to see who. Reassure each other that while you're away, you are being faithful and miss them so much.





You can also write each other letters and send things to each other.


For our 1 year anniversary I sent my husband a long hand written letter, a fleece blanket I made myself %26amp;t ons of pictures of us together. When you're in a long distance relationship, its the little things that matter and mean SO much more. In a normal relationship, you take those things for granted because you see that person more often.





I wish you all the best of luck. Long distance relationships are definitely stressful at times and very tough, but are also very rewarding and a huge learning experience.
They work. I'm in one right now, and it's going fine. The thing that's most important is keeping in touch. My girlfriend and me made it a rule that we talk at least once, usually twice a day for about an hour. The biggest thing, if I could go back in time, that I would do is lay out specific rules with what your comfortable with. For example, I went for a walk alone with a girlfriend the first week and it kicked up a lot of jealousy and then she watched a movie alone with some guy in his room and that sparked an argument. Now we have a rule that we can't hang out alone with members of the opposite sex. Be very clear on your comfort boundries and don't play games and you should be fine.
-First actually get to know them more than they know them selves


-listen what they say...and don't ignore it


-Get to be with them probably like 24/7 and if she doesnt like it stop and do it for some days...


-agree what she says, unless you actualy agree


-When you guys are really close, tell her that you love her...more than the stars are above you guys...


-And if she says it back, you got her where you want her...


-and if she disagrees you a lil to much, theres no hope...
Try to keep the communication going and see where it goes. Usually it takes very committed people to one another to do the long distance thing. It works but it is a lot of hard work and time.
I have to agree with everyone else. Unless you live in the Arctic or a leper colony, find someone else or move back to wherever your friend lives. If you can't get there easily every weekend, move on. There are plenty of people out there.
yes. i have been in 2.





they normally don't end up working put unless you can see each other once in a while, dont get over prtective u need trust but make sure he/she isnt cheeting. talk on the phone a lot
Talk on the the phone often, email often, get a webcam and try to visit each other as much as possible.
tell your partner what they want to hear!!


i started a long distance relationship with my current girlfriend around 2 years ago.
If your serious about the person then don't cheat on them.


Stay in contact - write letters, e-mail, text, phone


Get web-cams %26amp; maybe microphones.
Talk more than texting. Visit each other often. Stay faithful....and if you need sex or whatever have phone sex.
Don't have one the other


person always cheats


cause no one is there to


hold them


accountable
Be open and honest, and talk on the phone... it will never be easy but if it was meant to be then you'll work it out.
Talk and text a lot, get webcams, and be faithful!
Sorry Don't Work but otherwise alot of TRUST
bad idea.
they simple dont work
don't leave the house because u will cheat.
