Long Distance Relationships And How To Succeed With Them

By Payo Hernandez

The answer is yes, certainly but there needs to be clear plans in place for eventually being together and within a reasonable time frame too.

It's usually only when the future is not clear and nothing is planned that you can start to feel depressed and insecure. Kind of like you are wasting your time on something which will never happen.

Any plans you make regarding the future of the relationship should be utterly realistic and achievable. You'll both need to be completely open and honest about what you are prepared to do and sacrifice for the chance to be together. A relationship cannot continue for month after month with Skype, emails and nothing more.

So in summary you want your plans to be agreed on by both, they should be realistic and within a time frame which can be achieved. It's extremely important.

At times your faith in the situation will be tested especially during arguments. You'll have to rely on the trust and hope you have in each other to get through it. Hope is very powerful.

With long distance relationships you get to know one another through a lot of talking and discussion which can be excellent for building a solid foundation before actually meeting and being together in 'real life'. So much of your communication is going to be through email, chat and phone calls ECT.

Since 90% of all communication is non verbal however there really no substitute for actually spending time with each other in real life. You could find that you can only go so far with online contact before you're no longer getting any more from it.

If you sense that something special is there then don't let distance prevent you from trying the relationship, it can and does work for others all the time. Plus no one wants to spend their life wondering 'what if' and missing out on what could have been wonderful. - 32510
