Long Distance Relationship Tips

By Brad Fargo

It's really hard to get through a long distance relationship, though with work, you can definitely make some work. Sometimes our loved ones live in different places. It might be because of school, a new job, or some other reason. Regardless, this is always a hard thing to deal with.

This is a tough thing to endure, and whether your relationship can last through this testing period or not might depend on one of various factors. Here are a few suggestions I'm going to make that might make your long distance relationship built to last.

I know that some of this may not seem easy to do, but it's something that you should definitely consider for the sake of your relationship's chances of working. I can say this from experience, as I've made some of the mistakes that I'll ask you to avoid.

The first thing that's necessary is that you see each other as often as you can. I know it's hard since you're far away from each other, but the longer you go without seeing each other the harder things will get.

I don't know how practical it'll be for you to see each other, but the key is that you make it happen as much as you're able to. The longer you're away from each other, the more you'll both start wondering whether it's worth seeing other people.

Another key factor to the demise of many long distance relationship is when one party shows too much jealousy or becomes too demanding or controlling. Let your love one be him or herself, and show as much trust as you can. This will win you points at the end of the day.

Even if you're worried about where they're going or get jealous when they mention another name, you have to just let things be without getting upset. If there's distance and fighting, the relationship really isn't very enjoyable at that point.
