I love traveling, throughout my life I was on many amazing long trips all over the world.
Usually, I travel with my boyfriend but occasionally he has to stay at home and can’t come on every trip I take.
When people hear about our kind of relationship they ask all kinds of questions about how it works.
I think that a healthy relationship exists when both partners have the space to develop and improve as individuals.
For me, it is super important to experience, explore and make new friends.
Moreover, I believe that it is important to trust your partner, and in my case, I trust my partner with all my heart.
I remember the first time traveled without Amir, it was extremely challenging for us.
I was on a trip to Thailand, and for the first time, we had to figure out how to make our long-distance relationship work.
We learned how to communicate even if we are in different time zones.
On this trip, I learned that being “alone” doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely and that If our relationship is strong enough it would survive anything.
The longest trip I ever took without Amir was the trip to South America.
We’ve traveled for almost three months apart.
Of course, long-distance relationship problems exist, We missed each other a lot, it was quite a struggle.
In the end, I truly believe that if two people are committed enough to make it work they can overcome it.
Never give up on your dreams, too many people give up on their desires and dreams, they prefer following their partner’s life path on dealing with difficulties.
There is a say that says “The only things I regret, and the only things I’ll ever regret are things I didn’t do.”
Here are my 5 best tips to make a Long-Distance Relationship Work:
Sharing
On the one hand, tell your partner about your day, try to describe it as detailed as possible.
On the other hand, listen to your partner, ask questions about his day and life in general.
Try to talk everyday
Even if you have limited time, a phone call once a day can make a difference,
catching up gives the feeling that you remain close no matter the distance.
Talk from your heart
Share your feeling rather you feel happy sad or homesick. Sometimes because of the distance you get a different perspective on the relationship, you appreciate more and don’t take for granted the relationship.
Be honest
As I said before long-distance relationship problems do exist.
Be honest with your partner, don’t be afraid to expose your feelings- if you feel something say something.
Don’t keep it to yourself, the only way to work on your relationship is communication.
Pictures
A picture is worth a thousand words- it is not a cliché, pictures can help you express feelings and thoughts.
It connects your partner to your journey and helps them understand more of what you experience.
