So I'm basically making a thread for people who are in a long distance relationship. Just a bit of advice as I have been in one for nearly a year and I know how hard it can be..
So first of all things to do when you are not together:
-
Watching movies - If you find online websites with movies or maybe even tv programmes it's a way of doing something together.
-
Writing letters - I've done this a few times but it's been more like emails just to let Joe know how I've been and what I'd done on that day.
-
SKYPE!!!! - This is an important thing as you can see each other for free and can talk for free instead of spending money on the phone. It's a great way to spend time with each other.
-
Blogs - Sharing a blog with your partner is another great thing. When Joe and I argue and we don't want to speak to each other on the phone about it we write it on our blog. We also put picture edits, pictures, essays and poems to each other on it.
-
Presents - Joe always sends me flowers and cards etc.. It's a good way of showing you are thinking about each other.
-
Games - Playing games online together is awesome. Joe and I play assassins creed and WoW together sometimes, it's a lot of fun.
If you're upset a few ideas to help you out:
-
Scrapbooks - I made two photo books for Joe and I with pictures and essay extracts from each other everytime I'm upset or if I miss him, I look through it and it helps A LOT.
-
Letters - Keeping letters and postcards from each other is another great thing, I love looking through all the cards Joe has bought me.. It just reminds me that he loves me and all the memories we've had together are great.
-
Diary - Keeping a diary is also a good thing as you can write your feelings in it so it's out in the open and you're not hurting inside.
-
Phone - If you can phone each other up and talk about it and try to sort out any problems, hearing your partners voice is very calming and comforting sometimes.
I know it can be very hard, I'm lucky I see Joe once a month but you just need to communicate and work hard for your relationship to work. You need to tell each other how you feel as much as possible because believe me it helps! Don't give up hope because you're upset about not seeing each other sometimes if your emotional side is strong then the physical side shouldn't be tooooo much to worry about. Being in an LDR is actually a good thing, I've heard a lot that the further away you are from someone the closer you grow to them and the more you love them.
I've recently bought some LDR wrist band/bracelets, a pair a brown one for the guy and pink one for the woman which say "Love knows no distance" contact me if you would like to buy one.
I hope this helped!

Long Distance Relationships.
) what really gets me is that he is only 5 hours away, but neither of us can afford transport and he is too protective to let me transport alone by train.
