I hear about so many people in long distance relationships. I just wonder how many of those relationships actually last. I am now, currently in a long distance relationship. My boyfriend of over two and a half years decided to go to school at WYO Tech which is in Laramie, WY for nine months. It has been almost a week without him and I am not quite sure how to handle things. We went to high school together, so we were with each other every day. On top of that he worked for my dad, so he was always in touch and in sight. Now he is over four-teen hours away if you drive and a plane ticket is just too much money to visit for a weekend. I guess I am wanting some advice on how to handle all of this. I am actually not quite sure. I know that we can get through this but I have a very strong feeling that it will be very hard. Yea, he gets to come for Thanksgiving and Christmas but that is just not enough. How do you go from seeing someone every other day, if not every day, to not seeing them at all and only get to talk to them on the phone? This is defiantly going to test our relationship...I hope it will turn out good.
I wish you the very best in your relationship. I lucked out and my "long distance" was actually just over an hour, killed me that I didn't get to see him more than just weekends, but I was lucky compared to others. So, I don't have much experience with the long distance stuff, but here's my advice. My number one piece of advice: TRUST HIM! If you have faith in your relationship working out, and complete trust in his faithfulness to you everything should work out just fine. Now, my little pieces of advice: Both of you should definitely invest in webcams and microphones and download Skype if you don't already have it. It is definitely nice to get to see someone and hear their voice at the same time. Talk on the phone very often, but don't overload it. This should be a time for him to get out and meet new people, but don't let him forget about the great lady he has waiting for him back home. Make use of all of the time you get together. Maybe you could plan a trip to go visit him sometime when we get a long weekend. (Look into train tickets, they are a lot cheaper than plane tickets.) Those are my few pointers. Hope they help! P.S Don't get worked up if he becomes busy and doesn't get to talk to you as often as you'd hope, worrying only makes things worse.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is if he is at school out their he is going to be so busy he wont have time to go explore like you will have. so the ball is in your court.You need to make it up in your mind to wait and stay faithfull to him. You should take this time to explore yourself and see what life can do for you.
