Long distance relationships are on the rise and they don’t seem to be slowing down. The internet chat/dating sites have opened the world up to us right on our computers.
While most people do not consider long-distance relationships, for all those that don’t work out long-term – there are those that do. However, there are some basic rules to follow if you are both really interested in working it out over the distance you have between you.
1. Keep in touch – that is a must
2. Spend time on the phone as well as chatting and email
3. Be available at regular times to communicate – this builds trust in each other
4. Do not fight using texts – it is much better to pick up the phone and work it out with live voices.
5. Spend some in-person time when you both can
6. Sent gifts – they are powerful messages
These are just a few of the things I hear over and over again when doing readings. Regular and consistent communication is a real effort sometimes, but, you need to be available even though you make it shorter than usual.
There does need to be some ground rules, especially when you are upset in the long distance relationship. Discuss this long before it happens, what you will and will not do while you are upset. The other person needs to know what to expect when you are angry or upset.
1. Do you just ignore the other person? If so, for how long? Everyone knows their own style when it comes to being upset.
2. Do you change your communication? i.e., if you are used to chatting, do you revert to emailing instead?
3. How long do you stay upset?
The solution lies directly in communicating effectively. Punishing the other person by ignoring them could prove fatal to your relationship. Decide how you will both handle being upset with each other and the things you will and will not do. Since the other person is not around you, they need to know you are still ‘there’ for them. Communicating is the only true answer here.
