discuss How can couples cope with long-distance relationships?

[1stop]

I could remember when my partner and I live apart, we constantly keep in touch. We don't want to leave room for space. We also want to learn from relationships that struggled with distance and that really helped us in our journey. Truth be told, it's very difficult to preserve your emotional bond when you live apart.

I don't think this is easy, and I don't know if this can always work out well, but I know of a couple on my forum who met on another forum, and they got very close just through PMs and possibly phone calls, and they eventually met up. Now they are married, and both are still on my forum.

Regular communication is key here. When partners get in touch with each other daily and find time to discuss at length, they will be able to maintain that bond.

For partners that are apart, using technology could be a viable means to maintain bond. Video chat and sharing picture will strengthen the relationship. There is also need to set aside time for spending quality time together. Maintaining distance relationship needs constant effort and effective communication.

Creating predictable habits and keeping daily life routines proves to work well for long-distance relationships. When you and your partner stick to a fixed plan for phone calls and some other things, you guys will feel closer to each other and even trust each other more .

I am in a relationship where I live apart. here is what I do:

1. even if its for a day, I visit my partner once in two or three months as much as my time and money permits me. I encourage her also to visit me.

2. We are always in communication using IM. Additionally, we will call everyday and talk for 30 to 50 minutes. This is never skipped, even for one day.

3. Be kinky in virtual mode too xD

To be in a long distance relationship is a very difficult task. One, you are always wondering what the other person is doing, and the joy is incomplete since your mind is never at rest with what they are doing. Frequent communication can help, but in some cases, it doesn't build the trust required for a healthy relationship.

My advice is to avoid being in a long distance relationship because coping is always going to be difficult. There are so many things which someone can be doing that will make it impossible to maintain a steady closure with their partner who is far away at all times.

I am in a long-distance relationship and have been for around 10-years now. It is not easy at all and it does have it's ups and downs. I have contact with my long-distance boyfriend daily either through messenger or through Skype and video call and even though that does help, it can still be difficult without that physical affection.

If you truly do love each other though, you will find a way for it to work and get past those problems no matter how difficult it may seem.

This have been able to work for you and your boyfriend because of how good you're both in communication skills and also patience. I don't see how it's going to be possible for anyone who's not very patient to succeed in a long distance relationship.

I don't believe there is a way that long distance relationship can work. I think it is a torment. Having to go through cold nights without any hope of your partner ever being around can be really frustrating.

Long distance relationships need effort and regular communication. It also needs the partners to have patience with each other. They must engage in regular video calls and messaging because that is how they can bridge the physical gap.
