Anyone have advice for long-distance relationships?

My boyfriend and I have just started a long-distance relationship, its been about one or two months now, I love talking to him, and we stay in touch with Ims and webcams. Im upset at myself though, because I struggle when were apart, and I'm unsure what to do. I really want our relationship to work, but I just get so lonely and depressed when we aren't speaking. Anyone with past experiences or advice? Thx u so much.Anyone have advice for long-distance relationships?
Hi there,





Long distance relationships do work, as long as both people are willing to try. There are certain rules that help LDRs to stay strong and healthy.


It is very important that you clarify from the start, what you expect from this relationship. How often will you be in touch? Is is an open relationship? etc. Making sure you are on the same page will save both of you from future drama and heartache.





Discuss and plan if possible, when and under what circumstances you will be able to unite and live in the same area. This is will arm you with lots of patience and courage. Feeling that your LDR is something temporary, can fill you both with hope and expectations and make the time you spend apart seem less painful.





Keep in touch every day. It doesn鈥檛 have to be a conversation for hours on the phone.





Just remember that being apart is not always a negative thing. Not being able to be with your partner physically, can actually improve your communication with them, because you both learn to listen.





Try to see each other as often as possible. And make sure to have a great time (no pressure!) this will keep you going and longing for those moments.





Finally one thing you need to remember is that long-distance relationships, as every other relationship, are built on faith, love and understanding. Although they need a little more effort because of the distance factor, it is possible to make them work and lead them to a very happy ending.

All of your feelings are completely normal to have when in a long-distance relationship. Unfortunately, that comes with the territory. You'll have to accept and deal with those feelings by default for choosing such a type of relationship.





Ask yourself if those feelings and having to deal with them are worth it. Is this guy that great that he is worth having instead of a tangible, here-in-the-now boyfriend? Have you really gotten to know each other? Talking to each over the phone and seeing each other in person are two completely different things.
