Advice for LDR

[demolition_lover88]

Basically just needed some advice on how to keep a long distance relationship going.

 

I wouldnt really call my relationship long distance because my boyfriend doesnt live that far away, however my boyfriend is a lorry driver and is often out all week so i only see him on a Saturday night.

 

Just a bit of advice please.

well im in one and my girlfriend is livin in the states and im in england,,just let him know you love him as much as you can,and when u see him on saturday nite,make him feel special and let him know how much u have missed him,

Find some time to chat on the phone daily or when it suits both of you. Also make Saturday nights special and plan what you both want to do during the week. Anticipation can be very exciting and romantic! Also you could buy some presents for him to keep in his lorry. So when he's resting or a bit stressed he has something from you in his surrounds.

if you two really love each other maybe talk about plans to move closer to each other so you can see each other more often. Other than that keep in touch through phone/emails regularly and make sure when you do spend time together it is quality, do something really special together.

Seeing each other as much as you can under the circumstances, calling and texting each other often, sending each other little gifts and just keeping the whole love, attraction and affection going.

having good friends and a good social life is good to distract u from the missing him and i find it makes me feel better and a more interesting person when i talk to him x

I'm in an LDR and I just realized that being in an LDR is a serious relationship. I don't think either of us, my bf or I realized this. (I don't think he realizes it even now.) But it's definitely MORE SERIOUS than if you were to just date him in close proximity.

 

Having said that, I think it comforts me to know that he thinks of me serious enough to be committed to this type of thing. Of course, I found out that he's no where near ready to get married, but I suppose that may come in time. I'm kinda unsure about marriage myself... at least with him..... because he's so unsure.

 

Anyway, I think good communication is key to having a successful LDR. (I think it's also key to any relationship.) Also, as a woman, I realized that I tend to get attached emotionally far too easily than he does. So, I try to keep myself in check and tell myself that my world doesn't come to an end if he ever decides to leave me. In fact, my world should be so attractive enough that he would want to move himself to be a part of my world.

 

So I'm working on that... Keeping myself busy.
