Have you ever experienced the freedom and the annoyance of a long distance relationship?

It’s just not easy, and it needs a lot of effort. But at times, it’s also inevitable. We can’t always stay together and at times, love has to be separated, even if only for a while.

If you’re facing a prospective long distance relationship and are wondering how to handle it or even get through it, here’s everything you need to know.(Read How to deal with Jealousy in Relationship)

1. Be Open and Honest With Each Other.

Yeah i will start with honesty because any relatioship/marriage build on honesty will lead to somewhere positive. So stay honest,  Talk about your feelings of fear, insecurity, jealousy, apathy, whatsoever. If you try to hide anything from your partner, that secret will sooner or later swallow you up from inside out.
Don’t try to deal with things all by yourself. Be open and honest with each other. Let your partner help you and give you the support you need. it’s better to look at the problem during its initial stage than to only disclose it when it’s all too late.

2. Know Your Partner's  Free and Busy Time
Studying Each Other's Schedules will help to know when the other person is busy and when he/she is free, so that you can drop a text or make a call at the right time. You wouldn’t want to disturb your partner when he/she is in the middle of class or halfway through a business meeting. Know the small and big events that are taking place or will take place in each other’s life.

3. Communicate Regularly

Both of you can’t really meet often anymore. So there’s just no communication and small talk. And every great relationship needs that. Spend more time talking to each other and keep each other in the loop about your lives. Unless either of you get annoyed with regular calls, speak often with each other. And don’t skip out all those little intimate details like what you had for dinner, what color is your underwear and which side of your bed you’re facing, stuffs like that...Always give your lover enough time over phone or skype and make them feel special and cared for.(Read : Attracting Interesting People into Your Life)

4. Trust your partner and help your partner trust you

This is why i started with honesty as the first thing here because where there is honesty, there will be trust. Long distance relationships can be more painful than fun if your partner is someone who’s always attracted a lot of attention. But the one thing that matters here is the big question, do you trust your partner?

In addition, help your partner trust you and believe you.  Losing trust in the relationship is one of the biggest reasons why lovers break up in a long distance relationship. And almost always, it’s usually a misunderstanding that triggers the lack of trust. So be carefully on this one.

5. Avoid Too Much Communication rather Do things Together.

That I said you should communicate regular doesn't mean killing yourself over the phone. It is unwise to be overly “sticky” and possessive. You two don’t really have to communicate 12 hours a day to keep the relationship going. Many couples thought that they need to compensate for the distance by doing more. This is not true. And it might only make things worse. Soon you would get tired of “loving.” Remember: Less is more. It is not about spamming — you are only going to exhaust yourselves. It’s really about teasing at the right moments and tugging at the right spots, rather Do things together.

As a long distance couple, it's important to do other things together besides the usual phone call. In a long distance relationship, interaction over the phone can become dull in the long run. Incorporating other forms of interaction are important. Just think, people in short-distance relationships do not spend the majority of their time talking, but rather doing things with each other. Try to replicate this by finding things to do together.(Read : 7 Things in Your Relationship You Should Never Share Outside)

6. Visits Often

It may be hard to meet often if you’re living a thousand miles away, but no matter what the distance, try to schedule a prospective date to meet. And try to meet as often as you both can. When you fix a date for the next meeting, it’ll keep the excitement alive even if the meeting is several months away. And as long as both of you take an initiative to meet up, both of you will feel good about it.

7. Get Naughty When Necessary

Try to get  over the phone(video call) with your lover late at night? Well, turn up the heat now and then. One of the biggest pains of a long distance relationship is the lack of sexual intimacy. So work on that when both of you have the time. Have a few naughty conversations or work a pole. Do whatever turns each of you on and bring that sexual intimacy back into your long distance love. And if it’s safe, send a few of your clothes over too. Your partner will miss you more, want you more, and will love you more! (Read: How to defeat that Shyness in you)
