“And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation” – Kahil Gibran , Lebanese – American poet.
Your heart will ache to its max when you suddenly realize that you have to be miles away from the person whom you are in a relationship with. Probably the first thing which would strike your mind would be that the relationship may not last as he will change while you’re away.
Hmm… that can be true to a certain extend but think of it on the bright side. It would be your biggest challenge and if you can pull through this, then most probably you guys are meant to be together. Long distance relationships will work if there is enough effort contributed by both parties.

Here are five ways to make that long distance relationship work. Things would need to change and the both of you would need to change your habits abit but if both parties are committed, it certainly can work.
1) Do not take things too personally
Nothing beats having a face to face conversation with your loved one. Over cyberspace, things may be interpreted differently. Be patient and talk things out slowly with him. Do not jump into a conclusion about everything as you do not know what he is going through as well. Learn to calm yourself down and have an open mind when you face a problem.

2) Do things together
You guys have a common hobby and you used to do it together when you were back here. Just because you are far away, it doesn’t mean that you can’t do it anymore. For instance, if you guys used to cook together, continue cooking together – just that it will be at different locations. This would also give you an interesting topic to talk about.
3) Do not let the romance die
You certainly can’t cuddle each other since you guys are far apart but nothing can stop you from having those romantic conversations. Have conversations which will bond you guys together for instance you could try to have a kinky conversation with him. Just because you are not together doesn’t mean that you can’t have some ‘fun’.
4) Make often visits
Visiting each other would really help keep the relationship alive. Even if your trips are short, it can still make a lot of difference. Ask him to make a trip to your new place and then he would probably get a clearer picture of the type of environment you are living in. For a change, you guys could also make a trip to a different country which is convenient for the both of you.
5) Do not be possessive
Well when you guys were together here, you may have had the chance to control his actions. But since you’re apart, you can’t expect to be doing the same thing. Think of it from this point of view. Atleast when you were here, he had you to fill his spare time up. But since you are far away, you can’t expect him to be on the phone with you 24/7. He would need to find something else to do as well. If you are going to continue to be possessive, we certainly do not think that the relationship will last as he will surely snap one day or another.
