This particular piece lay emphasis on how to mke your long distance relationship sustain or work successfully. Know each other’s schedules. Just as you would likely have an idea of what your partner was doing each day when you were living in the same place, inform each other of your daily schedules. It helps you stay connected and figure out when you can get in touch with each other. You could keep a copy of your partner’s daily schedule in your phone or in your calendar. It’s nice to think about what the other person is doing at that moment. It helps you feel connected to them. While you are eating your lunch, you could think, "Michael is probably driving to work right now."
Text. Send little messages to your significant other throughout the day to let them know you are thinking about them. Let them know how your day is going. You could check in them by: Texting on the train on your way to work. (If your partner is abroad, consider using WhatsApp to cut down on text message costs.) Emailing at work about your day.
Plan your next visit. Having something to look forward to will help you be less frustrated about the distance.Talking about being together and planning what you want to do can help you feel like your relationship is going somewhere. Look at your calendars and determine when one of you can come visit. Research transportation options if necessary and find out how much a visit will cost. Remember it is best (for both your wallet and your peace of mind!) to book a trip well in advance. If you do not share a bank account, decide ahead of time how you will split the cost of the trip. If you do not share finances and are always the one traveling to see your partner, it may not be fair that you are paying for each flight on your own. You could say, "Maria, let’s talk about budgeting for my next visit. Since I’ve paid for my last two flights, can you pay for this one?"
Surprise each other. Long distance relationships are a lot of work to maintain. Scheduling calls and visits can take a lot of the fun out of the relationship. So make attempts to surprise your partner as much as possible. Send a gift for no reason. When they call to thank you, you could say, "I heard the author of that book being interviewed on the radio. It sounds like something you’d really enjoy. It made me think of you." Call unexpectedly, just to say you love them.
Display mementos. Have reminders of your relationship around your home. Even though your partner may be far away, putting up pictures or other little reminders of them may help you feel more connected to them. You can be reminded of your partner’s importance in your life. Hang up pictures of the two of you together around your home or at work. Make a picture of the two of you the wallpaper on your phone. Exchange t-shirts. Having something of your partner's can reassure you and comfort you, especially if it's something like a t-shirt that they've worn and smells like them.
Create something for your special someone. Getting creative and making something like a scrapbook or a photo collage can not only help you take your mind off things, it can also remind you of the good times you've both shared together. When your partner is feeling lonely, they can look at something that you have put the time and effort into and know how much they mean to you.You don’t have to be crafty to make something for your partner. It is the thought that counts, and your partner will appreciate your efforts.
