Long distance relationships are a popular practice these days.
After all, many people have to leave their hometown for a while. Some for work, some for education.
Moving to another locality is not a reason to end your relationship with your significant other.
And many couples try to preserve love, despite the great distance between the lovers. Unfortunately, not everyone succeeds.
However, if you follow a few simple rules, your chances of maintaining your relationship will be maximal.
We need to communicate
Try to communicate with your significant other every day.
Chat in messengers, call each other, use video communication.
Stopping communication will almost certainly lead to a breakup.
Don't talk about unwanted topics
When talking to your companion, don't even think about mentioning your temporary separation.
“You’re so far away…”, “It’s a shame we won’t see each other in person anytime soon…”, “I really want to go on a date with you, but I can’t…” - these phrases shouldn’t be there.
Talk about little things
Don't be shy about telling your partner about the smallest details of your life: broken things, going to the hairdresser, grocery shopping, etc.
Conversations about little things are, oddly enough, very important. After all, it is conversations about seemingly insignificant things that bring people closer to each other.
Find a hobby together
Create a book "mini-club" and discuss the books you've read with a partner.
Or find some other collaborative activity that can be done via video call.
"I love you"
Don't forget to say this phrase. And don't be shy about doing it.
Lovers who are far apart have few ways to express love and affection. Words are almost all that is left.
