Long Distance Relationship…
Can a Long Distance Relationship work? Long distance relationships can work but need a lot of extra effort and some planning. The most successful Long Distance Relationships have a plan to manage the distance. No one chooses to be in a long distance relationship but circumstances, geographical location and work commitments can keep people apart. The phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder” could be true but equally the saying “out of sight, out of mind” could also be true in some long distance relationships. Away from Home If you're the one in a long distance relationship that goes away, you have the advantage of experiencing perhaps new scenery, a new job and new people. The disadvantages, of course, are missing your friends, family and home life. And although there may be many new experiences you cannot share them with your partner. People away from home often find their emotions swing between highs and lows. Left at Home If you're the partner who's staying at home, you have the advantage of the closeness and support of friends, family and home life. The disadvantage of this is that you may feel abandoned and trapped. With far fewer new experiences on offer for you, you may feel bored, lonely and neglected. Honesty, Trust & Respect Being 100% honest and not lying is crucial to a healthy long distance relationship. Be honest and share your feelings about the separation - both the positives and the negatives. This will give you the opportunity to really understand each other and give the support and reassurance you both need. If you feel you can’t trust your partner, than you don’t have a good relationship and a long distance relationship cannot work for you. You know you’re in a good relationship when you don’t have a single worry about your partner being unfaithful to you – even when they are thousands of miles away and have many opportunities presented to them. A healthy relationship has a key element of mutual respect for one another. Its okay to disagree but you must respect each other’s opinions and differences. Communication The key to making a long distance relationship work is to communicate honestly and openly about how you feel. You may feel resentment about the circumstances that cause your separation but transfer this resentment to your partner. By openly talking about your feelings and about your resentment at the situation rather than at each other you can focus on looking forward to the time when you're next together. Live Your Life Living separate lives at a distance doesn’t mean your life is missing anything. A positive benefit of a long distance relationship is that it forces you to have a life of your own. By actively pursuing your own interests and learning more about yourself, you will bring more into the relationship, leading to a richer understanding of both yourself and your partner. Reunion
Some couples feel awkward as if they are greeting a stranger. Others feel disappointed and frustrated when things aren't as magical as they'd hoped. Be prepared for this and speak with your partner beforehand about it.
Alizon’s Advice: Keep in contact with each other regularly, at least daily if possible. Do not be afraid to say how you’re truly feeling instead of putting a brave face on it. If you’re feeling sad and lonely tell your partner and ask them how are they feeling. Open and clear communication is very important in any relationship.
