relationship advice
Long distance relationships are sometimes
unavoidable. Many don't like them as the dealings with your partner are
controlled by your partner. It is much more difficult to catch someone cheating
on you long distance than if you live close to each other. There is the
constant fear that they may meet someone new or be tempted by another in their
area. And your contact with each other is short and so you have lots of time to
imagine and fantasize about what could be happening to them without you. So how
do you deal with a long distance relationship so that your love grows?
1. Agree on what you expect from each other. Assumption is the
killer of many relationships. You both need to talk and agree on the type of
relationship that you have and what it entails. Is it just a casual
relationship and what does that mean? Is it okay for you to date other people
and when you do date is it with your long distance relationship in mind or as
an available person. Is your long distance relationship exclusive so that you
are faithful emotionally and/or physically to one another... or can still casually
date? There are so many relationship possibilities that you must define and
agree on what it is and what each of you is required to do. Do not assume that they
want the same things as you do or that they feel what you are feeling or that
he/she has the self control that you do.
2. Agree on what is a relationship breaker
for each of you. You are both feeling human beings and you will continue to be attractive
to people until you die so agree on what both of you cannot do in this
relationship. If you do what is forbidden does it mean that the relationship is
over or that you just try harder not to do it? Agree on what is realistic for
both of you so that you don't frustrate each other.
3. Agree on the type and frequency of your
communication. Communication is key in a long distance relationship and you
should both commit to a regular communication schedule based on costs and your
other commitments. There is nothing more frustrating than not knowing when you
will talk to each other next. So minimize that for yourselves by agreeing on
how, when and how often.
Relationships are based on trust and a long
distance relationship often tests your trust in each other in new ways... but
if handled properly it can be an excellent trust builder for both of you.
For a guide that will walk you through the process
