subject: Long Distance Relationships- Does It Really Worth It
[print this page] Suppose you're meeting someone online and that person seems to be the game of his life but lives away from you. Is it worth spending your time for a long distance relationship with this person? But what if this person is really your soul mate?
You will be amazed at the amount of a relationship can grow if you work at it. Distance, along with phone calls and in writing, electronically or via snail-mail, can foster an intimacy that is enviable to learn about other qualities, values and ways of thinking, sensitivities, dreams and aspirations. This kind of intimacy can make your approach much more special.
As if relationships were not complicated enough, taking the other side of a long distance is very difficult. Just read the following rules and try to take into account and apply:
1. The quality of the relationship is more likely to increase if both people develop the ability to share their feelings openly with each other. Do not be afraid to tell your partner what you really need and want from him or her, he or she deserves to know the truth and judge whether you can give to you.
2. Make the relationship a high priority. Avoid cancellation of meetings or postpone a call.
3. Home to stay in daily contact. If large phone bills are a concern, send e-mail, letters, cards and faxes, even. And when they come into contact, not just stick to love talk, but keep each other informed on aspects of everyday life. This way you each stay abreast of what the other thinks, feels and development. Conversations late at night and thinking points can transmit a lot of what is most important in the long term: its objectives, values and dreams.
4. Be prepared to be flexible. Tell your partner how much thought and love that he or she will mark the high points, which makes you, lose more with the constant urge to see you. But do not be possessive. Being paranoid and accusing only grow when in doubt, insecurity and tension between you and neither will help the relationship developed with success.
If your partner really wants to be with you, then you do not want to wait forever to have you next to him or her. While both trust each other, inform each other about their personal lives, keep in touch, your relationship may result in a happy normal relationship.
