Girls, here's what you need to know about long distance relationships

Relax, it won't be this way forever: The biggest task of surviving in today's world is to understand that people have to be on the move regularly. Whether it's for work, for education, or for personal reasons, sometimes there are chances that you and your partner may end up not being in the same city. But that is no reason to not let your love for each other flourish. Understand that this is just a temporary situation and like all things do, this too shall pass.

It is hard enough for people to understand what's going on in the minds of their partners when they're together, let alone when they're miles apart. So, rather than keeping things to yourself, it’s best to let your partner know how you feel. Tell him what your hopes and desires are and what your wishes and fantasies are. It'll help keep your spark alive.

When you're separated by long distances it can get difficult to give each other that much deserved time and attention. However, if you know that your partner tries his best and sometimes doesn't get the chance to tell you how much he loves you, cut him some slack. Just because he's busy sometimes doesn't mean he does not care about you any longer.

You need to have a goal in mind when it comes to your relationship. Things like where you see the two of you five years down the line or how you envision your future together are all important goals that you need to talk to your partner about. It's best to be on the same page about these things.

You need to be honest with him about the way you feel about certain things. It's important to remember that he is not a mind reader and since the two of you aren't even in the same place, he has no way of knowing what is going on in your mind unless you tell him. So, be honest with him and tell him if you're upset with him about something. Trust us, he'll appreciate the thought.

One thing you need to keep in mind is that you need to be brave. Being in a long-distance relationship is not easy. There are days when you'll have misunderstandings, fights and you might even feel lonely. But remember that these are just tough times. You'll both have to work together to reach some middle ground. In the end, it's all about the understanding you two share with each other.

Like we mentioned earlier, you two will have to find some middle ground with a lot of your things. Make sure that you two talk about this and decide on a time to communicate with one another. Keep each other updated about everything that's happening in your lives and try to visit each other every few months if you can.

Yes, you're going to have stupid arguments, you can't prevent that from happening but you also need to remember that when you two are so far apart, fighting over stupid things doesn't matter. Instead, learn to forgive easily and laugh such things off. After all, they really aren't going to matter in the long run.

There will be times when you'll feel a tad bit lonely and sad and those tough times may bring you down. But try to cheer yourself up and remember that you are fortunate to be in love with someone who is so understanding. He's always there for you through thick and thin, so you should return the favour by showing some patience.

Rather than thinking about how much you're going to miss him, use this time to focus on yourself. Take out some time to focus on your hobbies, spend time with your family, take trips on your own and just explore all the options you have. Once he's back, you know you'll be spending most of your time with him anyway. So, seize this opportunity and reinvent yourself in the best way you can.
