MY LIVING DIARY

One of the most difficult parts of a long distance (which ill be going through) is handling the fact that you are not physically there
with your partner. This lack of physical presence can make the whole
relationship seem like an illusion( i hope not huh) Well, I am sure that almost every person
in an LDR has wondered at some point about whether the relationship was
actually real or just wishful thinking. With this in mind, it is very
important to create a presence for yourself in your partner’s life to
provide a stable reality that you are a couple and that you are a part
of one another.So you better have a:

Communication

1. Don’t fall out of touch, even for a short time.Return all e-mails at the earliest opportunity.If you are going out of town or are otherwise going to be
   unable to respond, let your partner know as soon as possible so they
   don’t think something is wrong or start to have doubts.

   Talk regularly through voice chat or via the telephone

2. Video Chat if possible or at least send pictures regularly, Wew!~!~ Can you imagine how differently you would feel if you could
   actually see your partner when you talk to them? You can bet that they
   would feel the same. Rather than having to imagine how you looked when
   you laughed or smiled, they could actually see it.It nullify’s any of those doubts you have about whether they will like the way you look.

3. Get to know as much as you can about each other.Tell your partner about your day to day life, your friends, your
   relatives, your job etc. Make them feel like they are an integral part
   of your life. At the same time, find out as much as you can about them
   too

4. Be there when needed.One of the worst mistakes you can make in any relationship is to
   not be there for your partner when they need you. This is especially
   true of a long distance relationship as there are already inherent
   doubts and this will just reinforce those doubts.

Love
Love is the backbone of any relationship. As long as the other partner
feels that you completely and unconditionally love them, those doubts
will not have a chance to creep in.

Presence
Make sure you have a presence in your partner’s life. Continually
reinforce the fact that you are there, that this relationship is real
and there is no way that you are going to let a little thing like
distance get in your way. Goodluck to all of us. Goodluck to me. haha =)
