Long
Distance Love
Being in a
long distance relationship can teach you many things: trust, patience,
communication and many more. I have recently come out of a long distance
relationship but never fear I have some advice for you which can help you
survive yours even if mine didn’t work out.
Communication
– This is possibly one of the most important factors with any relationship
especially the long distance type. Daily texts, messages, skype calls or phone
calls can be vital for your relationship’s survival. This also goes to stand
for any arguments that you many have within the relationship. If you’re having
issues in the relationship you may need to discuss them sooner rather than
later to avoid any problems being blown out of proportion.
Trust- For
a long distance relationship trust is vital; this is where my previous
relationship fell apart because I didn’t trust the person i was with.Needless to say if you do not trust your long distance lover your
relationship should not exist and it will not be successful.
Organisation- In a long distance relationship you need to
be organised , planning dates , day trips and events will give you something to
look forward plus, help you make the most of the time that you manage to spend
together. You will also have to arrange
travel and accommodation if applicable when you visit your lover to help the
trip run smoothly.
Sentiment
and sentimental reminders- When one is in a long distance relationship you are
permanently missing the other person so little sentimental reminders can help
you get through the bad times thus helping you look forward to the good. Making a scrap book and having shared
positions such as soft toys are all cute things that can help when you are missing
your partner. Maybe have a shared play list of music that you both love In addition , taking many photos when you
are together can help you look back on what a great time you have together to
help your spark stay ignited when you’re apart.
Be
spontaneous – For this you will need to be creative however small romantic gestures
can keep your relationship alive for example hiding messages in positions like
bags and coat pockets for your lover to find when you’re apart. There are many
ways you can treat your partner to surprise them with many international flower
delivery companies or buying small gifts off amazon wish lists, these are all
small tokens which can show affection.
Make the
most of the time that you have together- Plan to do exciting things and
appreciate your partner while they are there. This may mean cutting off from
the outside the world to an extent to be fully involved with your partner.
Unfortunately, time is of the essence when you’re in a long distance
relationship you can scroll through the Internet when you’re apart and you
emails can wait because when you are together your partner should be priority.
Obviously
these tips are not exclusive to long distance relationships however, they are
some of these tips I have come up with from experience. In essence long distance can work if two
people are willing to put their all into the relationship. Like all
relationships longs distance ones are hard to maintain but they are 100% worth
it when the one that your love is nestled in your arms. *vomits*
Always,
