I can't believe it, but it's been almost a year since I've started the killer phase of relationship - long distance.
Sometimes it gets really tough to deal with, in which case I go into google and do a little search about how other people deal with it - in fact, it seems like a lot of people try this out because of school, work or apparently joining the army and leaving for overseas (can't really compare myself to those).
Anyway, I keep finding lists of tips on how to deal with the long distance, which are mainly these following points:
1) Defining needs: being transparent in the kind of commitment you're looking for, and setting the correct expectations. This one's a biggie - whenever there are differing expectations things tend to fall apart.
2) Setting a end point to the long distance - also a biggie! I can't imagine if someone were trying to go through long distance with no endpoint in mind... that would be torturous to say the least.
B) A sub-bullet to this point is setting an endpoint within the time away - I also don't know how people would survive without knowing when they can see the person next, and it also is a huge help to have something to look forward to...
3) Communication - duh. Emails, calls, texts, mail... spontaneity is a even better.
4) Trust - double duh. Without this no relationship would work, let alone long distance.
I feel like that's it - as long as expectations are set and there is an end to the madness with visits in between, what more can you do?
