What are some tips for managing a long distance relationship?????

Question

My boyfriend and I are going to be separated for some time while he's at college. What could we do to keep having a close and healthy relationship????

Answer 1

Its going to take a lot of work and the main thing is to talk to one another about what you both expect form the relationship. I've been in one for 5 years now, he lives in Germany and i live in California. Communication is so important. Another important thing is trust, if you can't trust him/her then it will get hard. Its okay if you have that fear, because you should be able to talk to your bf about it. It takes honesty from both of you as well, you have to keep yourselves involved in each others lives. I talk to my bf everyday, sometimes its random stuff, sometimes its about past experiences together (when we meet up) and we talk about daily things that have occured for example yesterday lights went out in my area, had to tell him the whole story of me walking around my house in the dark...he thought it was hilarious since i'm scared of the dark but anyway. By talking we have learned so much from eachother. Another thing is to not isolate yourself, its okay to go out with fam. and friends, and he shouldn't be upset by that. My bf and I like to send care packages to each other which is always fun to create. once i bought him a shirt and sprayed my perfum on it...he loved that. little things like that go a long way. There is so much more that i could share with you but i think i'm writting too much. email me if you have more questions. Good luck with your BF wish you all the best :)

Hi Baby,

  I have found out a long distance relationship doesn't work out My Friend. He's their going to college and you are there without him.Things are different when you both are not together and are miles apart.I had a long distant relationship for 2 1/2 years and when we meant and spend 5 days together i thought we would become a real couple he made me feel this way,but on the last day there and getting ready to go to the airport and fly home,he told me he didn't have feeling for me anymore.This hurt me deeply and was hard to move on,but i did move on and it was the best thing i did.This is something you will have to learn and deal with in the future.I am hoping you are the few who will made it My Friend.

Your Friend,
