Long Distance Relationships?

@Bree96 I'm currently in a long relationship, and they are very hard to keep up with, after all, you don't see your significant other for weeks sometimes months, maybe even years. I'm coping with it by setting up dates for when my SO and I can see each other again. I suggest doing that with your partner. It's much easier to go through a long distance relationship if you have a date to look forward to. But above all, communication is still a huge thing. Talking to each other about your day, feelings, thoughts, etc is very important. Message me if you have anymore questions <3

I think it really depends on how you two are. Like I tried it once, but both of us had personalities that needed the physical closeness as much as the emotional closeness. In fact we needed both in order to be happy. Unless we werent together we were suffering and that was unhealthy but if you live hundrets of kilometres away from eachother what can one do. Wheter we saw eachother depended on whether my family decided to visit theirs or they wanted to visit us. So we never had a routine way of meeting eachother. In the end it turned out that we were subcontiously blaming the other for our unhappyness... We drifted apart.
Personally for me a long distance relationship could never work, simply because I am not the kind of person that could survive it. I am very emotional and get really attached very fast, if I cant feel their arms around me 4 nights a week I feel the lack of closeness and will start obsessing over what else I am lacking and start to drift into a circle of negative thoughts. A long distance relationship couldnt work for me because it will always be a source of negativity because of what is lacking due to the distance, no matter how lovely the other person is, I will always miss them.

If I wasnt me, but someone that wasnt this attached and in need of closeness. Then I guess long distance could work with the help of the internet, online gaming, where our two avatars would fight in World of Warcraft, or side by side in the Rift of League of Legends. Thats probably how I would do it. Or watch a TV series together over skype and discuss what we just watched. Things like that, skype while we study at home, or just have it running while we do our daily things :) be virtually there even if physically you cant be.

I've been in 3 all right after another (I travel a LOT) and it was terrible most of the time, but, with the last one, we made it work and are now happily married. We made it work basically through very dedicated skyping. We skyped every single night after work and dinner, or during dinner so cooking and eating wouldn't be all lonely. We planned all the holidays together so we could see each other then, and organising those trips was always fun to do. Basically working on projects together, learning something together, or playing games online helped a lot and is quite doable online. I think we're also generally very calm and relaxed people with each other (a previous guy and I were both very jealous and dramatic together, so that ended in flames) and that helps a lot. While we skyped every day, we didn't *need* to, and never smothered each other or expected anything too much and so on.

Horrible, I ended up being in marriage fraud and in debt. Do not sponsor your significant others.
