How to stay connected when we're far apart? ?

Question

I just want to know for all the people in long distance relationships what you do to stay connected with your partner.. and please dont say "talk on the phone or email" give me specific examples of conversations, or things you do that keep you feeling close.

Answer 1

my hubby is in iraq & we have as the answer above said handwritten letters, they seem to be a bit more personal . We always make sure that we share pictures with each other, when we do talk its important that we don't fight or put each other down for what they are or aren't doing, i try my hardest to let him know how much i appreciate & love him & tell him what goes on in my day & he always ask & will share his stories with me. We are living 2 different lives right now so our communication is important & that we just share & stay open minded about each other bc in time people change, so loving & accepting each other through that change is important. since i send my hubby packages i always try to put his favorite things in them , you could always mail him something that you know he likes or that you think he would like.

Answer 2

How did you two become acquainted?

Under what circumstances has caused this to be a long distance relationship?

Do you live in different countries? In different States?

Are visa's and traveling involved?

Or is he in the military and his tour of duty keeps extending?

You stated this situation won't last forever.

But it's hard to help you when you haven't given any information.

Or how soon until you see each other again.

Answer 3

Long D relationships NEVER work. I'm sorry for you, but you are very naive.

Answer 4

when you talk bring up past dates and times you had together that were really good first kiss, whatever keep those memories fresh and try to stay positive .  

Answer 5

My man has been deployed to Iraq for almost 10 months now.  We don't have the luxury of regular phone calls but we do get to email often.  We stay connected by writing each other handwritten letters.  I make sure he knows I support him and love him with everything in me.  At the end of each email I do this thing called a "did you know.." and I write a fact about me he probably doesn't know.  For example "Did you know I prefer ranch dressing over chocolate."  When I forget or can't think of anything to write he notices I didn't write a fun fact.  It's a cute way to keep close.  Good luck to you and your partner:o)

Answer 6

Just keep in touch, It doesn't matter which way. STAY IN TOUCH!

Answer 7

I am in Texas and My Husband is in Morocco . We were married January 9, 2008 and we have been apart for 6 months now waiting for his Visa to the USA . We stay in touch by Phone and By Internet with the camera . We talk about anything and everything to do with our life . We make Plans for our future , we talk about whats going on in our lives and we say I Love You about 1 million times an hour ! We Play pool on-line together and we send each other e-cards all the time . We talk about what we did together the three months I was in  Morocco with him and we make each other laugh as much as possible ! Sure sometimes I cry and then in turn makes him want to cry but for the most part we spend our time lifting up each other and laughing . His family talks with me on chats and when he is on camera and I try to teach his brothers and sisters English and they are trying to teach me Arabic . We have lots of fun laughing at each other's mistakes .

   Just talk as if you are together about your plans for the future and what you want to do when yall get back together . We talk twice a day as he is 6 hours ahead of me and we make all our time count for good . Sure it is hard and we miss each other terribly but we cope because we know our marriage is strong and always will be . I hope this helped you both some .Good Luck and  May God Bless you Both .

Answer 8

My boyfriend is in college, and I am in high school. When ever he leaves for school or over the weekends when we visit each other. I write little notes that say just a sentence or two. I take those and hide them around his dorm or in his clothing pockets. Places I know he will find them eventually, some immediately others not so much. So when he finds them he knows I'm thinking of him. Also we go to see the same movie on the same night. we go by ourselves and discuss the film afterward.

My personal favorite is we read the dictionary to each other (sounds nerdy right?) but it's so romantic. we pick a page and find a word on the page that describes one another. We laugh and cry we go deeper into the definition and why it stands for him or myself.

It's not just an I love you it's a bookmark. When I hear those words I think of him.
