Long Distance Relationships

October 29, 2008

Sometimes life throws a googly at you: where once you may have been wondering (and longing) to have someone to call your own, you may have the possibility of a great partner in you life, but it may only be realized through a long distance relationship. Now, this dilemma – whether long distance relationships actually work? – can well pose a challenge for some, while others can see the distance as a deterrent from moving things forward.

However, the truth is that every man-woman relationship is based on certain premises such as understanding individual personalities, level of maturity, lifestyle and outlooks etc. and there are always ways to increase communication available to the persons involved that afford one a better chance at making a long distance relationship work – if they want.

It is therefore realistic to understand personal levels of commitment – whether you would be ready to deal with the loneliness factor of your partner being hundreds of miles away, or likely to stray? If you have strayed or been tempted – with your partner in town, then perhaps, you need to re-think your commitment stance because that would definitely mean you are not ready for the kind of commitment a long distance relationship needs.

One of the best ways to make a long distance relationship work is through the Internet – one of the biggest boons to lovers anywhere in the world as thanks to modern technological advancement, it is possible to not only e-mail and text message your loved one, but also see them online and chat with them at affordable rates.

Some of the ways in which you could work at a long distance relationship to see if it is meant for you is to agree on an end before jumping headlong into one; keeping it specific to a time-period like say, 6 months or a year is a realistic way to leaving scope to re-analyze the situation if both of you want different things at the end and parting ways without frustration and unnecessary heart-break.

Schedule and keep to communication times and methods: e.g. calling thrice a week at a given time or online video chatting every other night for a fixed time is a good way to minimize rifts and keep virtual dates.
