Being in a long-distance relationship while you’re away at school is one of the worst feelings and I know some girls can relate to this. There are times when you just want to cuddle with your man or woman and you can’t, so then you end up having to settle for a FaceTime call until they can come visit you.
Having trust and communication in your relationship both play MAJOR roles in the success of a long-distance relationship. In my opinion I don’t think that it’s necessary to talk to your boyfriend/girlfriend every hour out of the day, but hey that works for some people, just not for me. Long distance relationships can be tough especially if one person in the relationship isn’t willing to compromise.
I believe that the distance can be a good thing at times, because it could potentially make the relationship stronger seeing as how both individuals now know what it is like to be apart. Being apart could make the couple appreciate the time that they have together for example when they visit you or you go home for the weekend. Honesty in a long-distance relationship is also important because it allows for security on both ends and neither person will be second guessing what the other person is telling them because they have honesty.
Some tips that I found to keep the relationship exciting are to have a goal in mind for the relationship that way you can stick to it and avoid situations that could potentially ruin that goal. This could be like avoiding certain situation that you know will upset the person that you’re dating. Continuing to engage in certain situations against your spouse’s wishes that you know will upset them could eventually bring on trust issue on the relationship and can in turn ruin a good thing.
Long distance relationships don’t work for some people, but as of now it’s working for me, so I believe if the two people in the relationship are honest, trusting, and have good communication then the relationship can grow and go to the next level over time.
