The relationship between a man and a woman is not always cloudless. Quarrels, conflicts may arise from time to time, and sometimes feelings are checked for strength by circumstances. Love at a distance is not an easy test, which not every couple can stand.
Is it worth trying?
All people are different, each has its own ideal model for the development of relationships. Someone can not live a day without the embrace of a loved one, but for someone love at a distance will not be a big problem. Love is the feeling that a person keeps inside of himself, if it is properly “fed” and cherished, then separation will not become a hindrance on the path to happiness. If you understand that your partner is dear to you, then appreciate your relationship and be prepared to face some difficulties.
On the other hand, if you understand that this test is beyond your means, it is better to speak frankly with your partner and end the relationship. In this way, you will save both yourself and it from illusions that lead to nothing, flashes of jealousy and other negative emotions that destroy harmony in life.
How to save love?
One of the main difficulties of love at a distance is the inability to share those daily trifles that make up life. Usually in the evening in the kitchen, a man and a woman discuss the news, tell them what difficulties they have at work. Dividing the emotions of the past day with each other, they feel a certain unity, which is so lacking when a loved one is far away.
Therefore - the first piece of advice: so that feelings do not fade, communicate daily. Often couples use Skype for this purpose, but talking on a schedule every night can soon become a routine. It is important to maintain constant contact with a partner, to feel his mood and make him understand what you think of him. It is necessary to live not parallel, separate lives, but even at a distance, but link them together.
Another real danger of such a relationship is the loss of trust and jealousy. If you are separated by a distance, then at certain moments (if you quarreled, for example) it may seem that your partner has lost interest in you, and is looking for new sensations somewhere on the side. It is better to speak such moments before parting - if one of the partners decides to stop the communication, then keeping the second one in ignorance is akin to disrespect. In other cases - trust your loved one and do not give reasons for jealousy yourself.
The third point is closely related to the previous item. Protect yourself from those temptations, succumbing to which you will regret your deed. It often happens that “having drunk too much” in a bar and having become acquainted with a charming beauty or a gallant gentleman, people commit the most unreasonable acts that the second half still know about.
However, this does not mean at all that one should stay at home and yearn. So you can easily get depression in all its glory. Spend your time with benefits - go to the gym, read books, develop in yourself any talents. Life is interesting and diverse, and the more you do, the more you can tell your loved one.
It will be great if your joint efforts are aimed at achieving one goal. For example, if a man went to another country to earn money for the construction of housing, the woman could look for real estate options, plan the decoration of the apartment, etc.
No matter how strong love is at a distance, it must be regularly fed with meetings. Without tactile contact, hugs and physical manifestations of love, the relationship will be incomplete. Of course, it is not always possible to come to each other every week. But to establish a specific schedule of meetings is better from the very beginning. Well, if you will meet at least once in two months.
Love at a distance is part of the path to a shared future. So, you should be clearly aware of what you are striving for, discuss plans and dreams. This applies even to small lists of cases that you want to carry out together at the next meeting. Share ideas - where you want to go, what places to visit. Perhaps you decide to jump with a parachute or go diving - discuss your plan with your loved one and do it together.
In separation it is difficult to maintain romance in a relationship. But after all, ordering flowers delivery for your girlfriend or writing a gentle message and sending it by regular mail is not that difficult. Some couples arrange romantic evenings even through the Internet. It is important that you do not forget about each other, and you want to express your feelings, and fantasy itself will prompt interesting solutions.
Life is constantly filled with tasks that need to be addressed, everyday and work issues. Therefore, a good mood does not always accompany a person. When people live together, it is sometimes enough just to hug and sit next to each other in front of the TV to restore strength and emotions. But when a loved one is far away, this possibility is absent, negative energy accumulates.
Try to communicate with your other half only in a good mood. It is clear that both of you are not very easy right now, but you don’t need to tell about all the problems you have to face.
In love at a distance, there are also pluses. At a minimum, you can pinpoint the seriousness of the relationship between the partner and your own. The real feeling will not only fade away, but only flare up more - you will want to take care of the second half, show all your tenderness. In addition, you will learn how your loved one copes with difficult situations.
Do not forget that not all relationships end a long and happy family life. In some cases, this is a good experience that will make it possible to reveal more in love in the future. If with all diligence love has not passed the test of strength, then you need to let it go and move on. Perhaps somewhere your future second half is just now dreaming of you ...
