Ways to Make a Long-Distance Relationship Easier

Despite what you - and the people who condescendingly wonder why you can't just find a significant other in the same zip code - might think, it is possible to have a successful long-distance relationship. The first step in making your LDR easier is to outline your expectations and your partner's from the get-go. If your partner is moving and you're staying behind, set a timetable for when he or she will come back or when you'll join him or her. If there's no end to your time apart, then there's nothing to work toward, which puts the relationship in permanent limbo - not a good thing. Another subject to broach before the big move is how your relationship will change. Of course, being apart requires a tremendous amount of trust. Think about the parameters you want to set for the relationship, whether you'll open it up to dating other people or keep it exclusive. Both partners must be on the same page, regardless of the arrangement you choose.


When it comes to visits, once again, both partners must be on the same page. Consider how often it's possible to visit one another and the best way to go about it. Will you meet somewhere in between or alternate destinations between his or her new home and yours? Other ways of staying connected include relying on technology. Find ways to "get together" virtually. Perhaps there's a show you both love - Skype one another and chat away while you both watch the show. If you're foodies, then exchange recipes and have a few friends over in your respective locations to test one recipe that you both make. Report to one another how the recipe turned out. Offer small gestures of love, whether it's a sweet email or actual love letter sent in the mail. Send flowers every once in a while, or whatever it is your partner enjoys and will convey the message you still care.
