Any ideas on how to stay calm in a long distance relationship?

Question

I'm worrying every day that I'm not with her and I'm afraid that she is talking to someone that I don't know. I'm getting more and more nervous everyday, that it is starting to effect my everyday life. I don't need this stress. Give me some ideas please.

Answer 1

I myself am in your situation. I been with my g.f. for 5 years now and there was a point when we didn't see each other for over a year and currently I haven't seen her since March. All you can do is trust her. I know its hard to do. You would know if there was something wrong just by if she starts to not to talk as often as she used to, but just don't mistake it with her living a normal life going out with her friends etc etc. One thing you can do is get an empty book or photo album and mail it back and forth to each other writing your thoughts about each other or pictures of yourselves. Kinda like a scrapbook of each other that you are joining as one. Arrange make pretend dates while you talk to each other while eating and watching the same shows on tv etc etc. Go outside and look at the moon, sun and sky and realize that she sees the same as you do. Little things like that will make u seem closer to her. This is just my advice. You just need to be creative and put youself at ease.

Long distance relationships require a special willingness and understanding that can test love like no other type of relationship can. It requires constant communication and a desire to continually create your relationship, using the only real tool you have... your words.

Any person worth having is worth waiting a few years for. If you both have something really special then take the plunge. You'd be surprised at how well a long distance relationship can work out. Granted, it won't be easy and you'll both go through your bouts of loneliness. However, the rewards for making it through are worth every lonely second.

Just remember there are thousands of couples going through long distance relationships every day. There are thousands of resources available, to help you both make it through and keep the relationship feeling alive and new. With the Internet you can both keep in contact through Internet phones, chats, instant messengers and more. The only thing stopping a long distance relationship from succeeding in these times is the relationship itself.

If your relationship is rocky or isn't meant to pan out in the end, a long distance situation brings that to your attention quite quickly. This may be the reason so many people are hesitant to get involved in this type of relationship. However, if you are truly a match made in heaven, a few thousand miles can only make your relationship that much stronger in the long-term.

As to what to tell your girlfriend… just let her know that you think she's worth the wait. You know you both can make it, and that you hope she feels the same way.
