I knew it would be difficult to maintain a long distance relationship when I moved away to university. Been away from the one you love is tough. When I left we both agreed to make it work and see each other whenever possible.
Keeping a long distance relationship a live takes effort. I admit it’s hard to cope when you miss someone and are used to seeing them in the flesh most days.
I’ve been arguing with my woman and my name is currently “mud” in certain social circles. I think she saw me going to university as me leaving her. I think she thought it was easy for me to move away and leave her behind. Believing I was going out having fun every night. I wish.
Having no money to go out partying, buy PlayStation Games or treat the girlfriend is a depressing feeling. If you’re struggling to pay the bills and trying to survive on little cash then long distance relationships get even harder.
Talking and keeping in contact everyday is vital. If possible get a unlimited call deal or speak over the Internet with WhatApp, Skype, Google Hangouts or use video chat with services like TinyChat at https://tinychat.com using a webcam.
See each other whenever you can. Finding the time and money isn’t easy. The travel expenses can mount up so put some money aside so you can see each other regularly. If the money can stretch to it go on a romantic weekend away.
Send them gifts and flowers to show you are thinking about them. Write them a letter or send a romantic email. Be honest with each other, express your feelings and keep the fire burning.
That’s the long distance relationship advice offered by experts. However it can still go wrong. Relationships fade out and turn sour because the distance of the heart is too much and too far for one or both people in the relationship.
If it doesn’t work out it can be painful to accept. Right now am going through a difficult emotional period in my life. I know moving away from each other doesn’t help and yet it will only work if both parties are willing to make it work.
Fading love hurts. I am not on fire.
