JayRob2212 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 I have been in a few LDRs in my life and I always thought they were impossible. Like many others, I thought them to be unsustainable. Now, I am in the happiest relationship of my life and she is across the globe. I have learned many things and I see no end to this relationship. Here are a couple tips I have picked up on in my multiple LDRs. Express your feelings even if you aren't typically an expressive person. Set Specific Goals: Don't let your relationship grow stagnant. Video Chat is a big one for my partner and I Intimacy: This one will be a tough part if you won't be seeing each other for a while, but there are ways. If you have any other tips, feel free to share them! Quote
Success Girl Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Once I was also in a long distance relationship. One thing I found out is that, you could be closer to someone far away than to someone near you. What holds a relationship is communication. Once there is communication, the relationship keeps building up and deepening. As soon as communication begins to die, the relationship also begins to die. 1 Quote
KHammac Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 I'm tactile and physically needy in the sense that I love affection = I fear long distance relationships. As well, I put a lot of stock in some of the nuances that are lost to the internet: body language, tone of voice, etc. I fear that when the conversations plateau, the relationship would diminish. Also, I don't think I'd ever be able to trust someone I could not see face-to-face. My intuition never fails me but I know that online vetting comes with too many limitations for me to establish the kind of trust I require to call it a relationship, in the first place. Quote
