How to Beak Up With Your Long-Distance Girlfriend or Boyfriend

I love being in love and having someone dependable in my corner. However, it seems so much easier to be supportive when you are farther away. You love talking about them and you love the the time together when they come visit you. Now listen you need to break-up right away and not take this any longer. You know it and you've thought about it before and that hard part is when is the right time to do it. Here is how to do it and then why this is the right thing to do.

I Need help Breaking up With your Long-Distance Girlfriend/Boyfriend

Get your strategy tight, very tight. Think about your X-in-the-making behavior and use it against them. Pick a date to do this and start creating your list of why this relationship needs to end. You do not even have to worry about them popping by your place. The long distance is your advantage point. Don't take any calls or text from them at all until you have finally decided you are ending it (very important)!

Set aside a block of time with them and set aside a generous amount of time to have this talk. If they do not answer, then leave a message with a specific time and date. Whatever time you pick make it a time that offers a lot of privacy. Don't answer any communication from them at all before then. They will call at the given time. When it is time for the call don't have any distractions at all. Do it in a quiet place with good reception and bring your list with you.

Pack their stuff in a box, kindly and gently because that is the least you could do. After all, you're a good person but you've got to move on. Do not wait until the next visit to break-up, not after they've spent money to see you.

The Reasons Why You are Breaking Up:

You've cheated and the truth is so have they. Even if you don't want that picture in your head its true. You've done it long-term with some or one and you still enjoy them.

You're really only in it because you feel obligated. Do you really want to know who it feels to be the one who let a relationship carry on only to watch them move to year and start over (Oh, they are moving to you right, you're not taking any chances).

It just easier to be in a long-distance relationship isn't it. You get to be dependable, sweet, loving, and there, without the pressure of a person who is "really there".

Oh and don't forget that just like you, she/he has a nice sexy bodied, shoulder to cry on and have their back. Just like you. If you don't believe me then send out a text or better yet call your local friend, they always answer your calls. So don't worry you've both got a few, local, willing and available, shoulders to curl-up under.

Deployment - Part 2 - Adjusting to Life on Your Own

By Keri E Smith Keri E Smith
Level: Basic PLUS

Keri Smith is a writer, mother of two, wife of an army soldier with a background in Human Resources and Recruitment. She writes her humorous ...

As I said in Part 1, I moved home to live with my parents during our first deployment. If you have thoughts about moving in with your family or even a friend, be forewarned...any drama they have in their lives WILL spill over in to yours. Do you need even more stress? Do you get along with this person even when you are in bad moods? These are valid questions to ask yourself. Don't let people talk you in to doing something you are unsure of. A year is a long time to be stuck somewhere. The second deployment, I stayed put, although this is when my dad moved in with me, which, as you will read, was a darn good thing. I had help when I needed it, but he stayed out of the way when I didn't. Plus, it was my house and my terms, which helped the control-freak that I am.

Communication: Make sure you and your spouse are prepared for the fact that you might be able to talk daily, or not for weeks at a time. It can make you a little crazy when you don't know if he is okay, but you need to stay calm and remember that no news is good news. I guarantee you that he is more upset at not being able to reach you. He's in the desert..not out bar-hopping. Chances are, he will have the opportunity to get in far less trouble than you would....not that you would. But you have to remember he will hear all kinds of stories about what is happening back home, as will you, and this may cause some tension. Cell phones are a bad idea and very dangerous. Use this as a time to get to know each other again. You are going to be doing a lot of talking, so you might discover some things you didn't know. We paid about $60 a month for Andy to have internet in his "room" and we talked on Yahoo IM webcam every night about 10pm. Another source is Skype. This was a nice option because then we could see each other. As it can make you crazy to NOT talk to each other, it can have the same effect if you talk TOO much. You run out of things to say about your day when you have already told him the day before. And it makes time go entirely too slow. Every three days is a good rule of thumb, if he is available. Don't ever discuss locations, etc...over the internet or the phone. Always assume that someone is listening in, and that someone might be a threat.

Speaking of threats...don't advertise the fact you are home alone by putting a Service Star Flag on your house. A yellow ribbon is general enough to blend in, yet not announcing to be robbed or attacked. Likewise, don't put the "Half my heart is in Iraq" bumper-stickers on your car for the same reason. We can support our soldiers in all the other things we do, but the most important thing you can do for your husband is be safe.

Have a talk with your husband about how to handle any bad news with the family or other friends while he is deployed. Does he want to know while he is gone, or wait until he comes home? We were tested with this several time. During the first deployment, I was in 4 car accidents and Taylor was hospitalized. During the second deployment, our dog killed our cat and I had to have the dog put to sleep. This was a horrific day, and had my dad not been there to shield me from seeing it, then the kids and I would have walked in to that scene after work/school. We also got news that Andy's stepfather was terminally ill and might not make it until he redeployed home. Make sure you have the information for the Red Cross, because chances are that you might very well have to get a message to him.

The last thing is that you want to stay as busy as possible during the deployment. Use this time to explore your interests. Is there somewhere you want to travel that he doesn't? Go visit a girlfriend or family member. Take a class or lesson. You can also look forward to your mid-way point, which is R&R for two weeks. This will be a fun break. Ask your spouse what they want to do...don't just plan a big party or trip. They may just want to sit on the sofa with you, and not do anything. You need to keep in mind, they may be a little jumpy. It's not a good idea to drink too much during this break either. Have an enjoyable time with him, and when he leaves to go back, know that you are almost done!

Helpful Tips for Surviving Away From Family and Friends

Living abroad, whether to study, work, volunteer, or just experience life in a foreign land is undoubtedly an enriching endeavour. Encountering new cultures, languages, food, and friends is all exciting but you still might find yourself dialing internationally to connect with those you miss.

Keeping in touch with friends and family is a good thing, and you shouldn't be discouraged from keeping loved ones updated, but it's easy to feel detached whilst spending time abroad. As an expat myself, I can definitely offer some tips to feel connected in a foreign country.

1. Study the local language as often as possible - This includes studying language books, listening to recorded lessons in the language of your adoptive country, and practicing your skills in public. There are many language programmes available online if you don't have time to attend a classroom-based course. Try to learn the names of the foods so that you can practice interacting in restaurants and supermarkets.

2. Join a group for expats - While it's not a good idea to only mix socially with expats, it's nice to have a group of people who share common concerns and experiences relating to your new country. There are many expat groups in major cities around the world that can be found through an internet search. While many expat groups are 'online only' forums you should be able to find a group that meets regularly in the 'real world'. Such groups will make you feel less alone and you're likely to meet new friends from an array of countries.

3. Immerse yourself in local culture - Try new food, attend local festivals (even if you don't understand the language!), travel around your host country in order to learn more about society, and visit local historical museums.

4. Call home even if you have to dial internationally - Email and instant messaging are great ways to keep in touch with loved ones back home but nothing beats good old-fashioned on-to-one personal international calls.

5. Visit your native country's embassy - Embassies aren't just the places you go to if your passport has been stolen! They are great resources which have been put in place to assist expats with everything from finding a doctor who speaks your language to social networking. Keep in mind, however, that not all embassies are created equal - some will offer more services than others.

Adapting to life in a new country can be exciting yet challenging. The key to settling in comfortably lies in a balance between keeping in touch with loved ones abroad and assimilating as best as possible to your new surroundings. If you follow these tried and tested tips you'll adapt to your new surroundings without the urge to make expensive international calls home every night!

If you're looking to make cheap international calls to Bangladesh, India or Pakistan you should look for an international call provider that offers cheap local rates. Services like SimpleCall will help you save lots of cash - even if you're roaming!

Long Distance Relationships - Can They Really Work?

Having been a previous member of the 'long distance relationship club' myself and currently living a long distance relationship vicariously through my best friend it made me wonder - can long distance relationships really work?

My personal experience with long distance relationships was mostly unfavourable. Firstly I only got to see my now ex boyfriend once a month as we lived at opposite ends of the country. Although I spoke to him every day on the phone I soon found out that phone relationships and 'real' relationships are two entirely different things. On the phone it was all 'I love you' and 'I miss you' and you would think face to face those feelings would be ten times stronger, after all absence makes the heart grow fonder right? In my case wrong. So wrong. In fact I seem to remember more often than not our supposed romantic rendezvous' often involved arguing usually about insignificant things. Towards the end of the relationship it got to the point where a small part of me actually dreaded these meetings because of the bickering I knew was bound to ensue at some point over the weekend.

I suppose looking back you could put our altercations down to the fact we never really got the chance to know each other, what with only seeing each other for a few days every month. Talking on the phone is one thing but nothing is as valuable as getting face to face time. Being in someone's company, being up close and personal and learning the little things about them such as their cute little mannerisms. Quality time is crucial.

Also another negative factor for me was not being able to be there when those unpredictable events that life seems to throw at us sometimes occur. One such incident is when a friend of my ex boyfriend suddenly died I hated the fact I couldn't be with him immediately to give him a hug and comfort him.

However, on the flip side of things my best friend is happily enjoying a long distance relationship. She sees her boyfriend every week and they manage to keep their relationship exciting and fresh. So much so in fact they decided to go to Paris one weekend just for a change, as you do! They are a couple who adore each other, are devoted to each other and so in love. It is almost like there is no distance between them and they both work hard to keep the spark alive. They believe they are destined soul mates and do not let the distance stop them maintaining a great relationship.

I believe it all comes down to your own personal preference. Are you someone who prefers physical intimacy and spending quality time with a loved one? Or maybe you prefer having your own space and having more quality time to spend with your friends and pursuing you own hobbies?

So whether you are in, or ever decide to have a long distance relationship is up to the individual. Long distances relationships are not for everyone but just remember the key to any successful relationship is strong foundations of understanding, trust, compromise, honesty, communication, determination to make it work and most importantly a whole lot of love.

Why Is He Scared of A Long Distance Relationship?

Are you ready to commit to long distance love and your man has cold feet? This is a tough situation, but I think that my experience can provide the right kind of advice for your long distance relationship to flourish. There are some very basic questions you need to ask yourself if he is afraid to get into the relationship. I think my advice below will not only help you identify the issue, but also find a remedy for it.

How well do you know each other? My girlfriend and I have been together for 10 months and we couldn't be happier. I think a lot of that has to do with the amount of work we do on building the actual bond between us. It began with a lot of old fashioned "getting to know each other". We really went from A to B to C in a stereotypical relationship. What do you do? Where did you go to college? Where are you from? Simple things like that go a long way in learning about person. Not only that but they segue into other conversations and subjects that will build even more links between you. Perhaps your man has some cold feet because he has reservations because his heart isn't convinced that he knows you well enough to commit. I think a great place to start if your man isn't interested is asking if your foundations are well built.

Physical Connection - Another place to look if your man is afraid to commit to a long distance relationship is the strength of your physical connection, and more specifically, his needs. This can be a tough one to "feel out" but men need a physical connection with their mate and the very definition of a long distance relationship makes that difficult.

Try to find out his physical needs without asking directly. You can pick up on his signals by the amount of touching he does while you two are together. Is he constantly holding your hand or twirling your hair? How often does he kiss you? How frequent are sexual interactions? I think you can get a pretty good idea of his needs by just reading the clues he is leaving, but if not than perhaps it is best to just come out and ask.

Be cognizant of the fact that these types of things can be difficult to talk about if you aren't used to it so tread lightly. Frame the conversation with smaller talk and then just come out with it. Say something like, "We both have needs from a physical standpoint and I just want to make sure you feel open to talk about yours." That will ease any awkwardness and hopefully he'll be able to express what is going on from that standpoint. If you don't think it is a lack of physical connection, nor you two not knowing each other well enough than lets look to his other options for some more reasons he is afraid to commit.

The third thing would be What are his other options? Think about this one long and hard because he might not be giving you the full story on why he isn't interested in jumping into a long distance relationship. My honest advice is that he may just be saying he is scared to commit to a LDR when in reality he just has other options. His other options might include other love interests or wanting to be single.

I think the hardest to spot is the latter: wanting to be single. This would be basically him saying to you, "I'd rather go it alone than commit myself to a long distance relationship". That is a very difficult thing to say if he cares about you, though, especially if he cares about your feelings being hurt. You must realize that the prospects of a long distance relationship are fairly grim so the long term gain must outweigh the difficult that is inherent in a LDR.

He might also have another love interest in mind. This could be difficult to compete with especially if that other person lives in the same area. If you suspect this is the case than you had better bring it up. "Are you afraid to enter into our relationship because there is someone else that is a closer distance to you?", is a great question to ask. If you don't ask and you suspect there is something like this than you'll regret it because you'll always wonder what is going on. You'll be beating yourself up checking his Facebook everyday to see whether he is in a relationship or if there are pictures of him with someone else. My advice is to just be honest with yourself and analyze his situation; he may have other options that he feels are better routes.

Conclusively, the best long distance relationship advice is to just be really be honest in your evaluation of where your relationship is at in regards to how well you two know each other. He isn't going to commit to something that already has the odds stacked against him if he doesn't feel he knows you that well. Also, think about his other options and weigh the physical connection he will demand.

Six Commandments Of A Successful Long Distance Relationship

Almost every one at one point or another has experienced a long distance relationship. Most people have come out it scarred, some for life. Very few people actually get to have a successful long distance relationship....have you ever wondered why it is so.

Well I'm here to tell you it is possible, I mean very possible to have a successful long distance relationship

Long distance relationships have a way of sneaking up on you sometimes....sometimes when you least expect it. It can occur for a lot reasons, for example you met someone in a chat room and before you know it you guys connected somehow and you hit it off from there, but by the time you two realized you were thousands of miles apart...it was already too late....you were already in love.

Or it could be that you have just been promoted at work and it will require that you be moved to another city or another country entirely

So the question now is...WHAT DO YOU DO. Well I happen to have the answer to that question. Yes long distance relationships have advantages and disadvantages but that does not mean that it is entirely out of the options.

One of the advantages of a long distance relationship is it gives time to slowly open up the relationship, there is time to get to know one another, slowly build and develop a solid foundation. You don't to get be around the person all the time and see all their habits and routines that can get pretty repetitive

However, a major disadvantage of a long distance relationship is that there won't be the hugging and kissing, you may not be able to connect like you would want to because you don't have eye contact and you can't touch. At first it might be difficult but I promise you will find a balance, have genuine interest in each other and you are on your way to happiness.

Now here are a number of rules that can help you have a healthy long distance relationship

HAVE A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
First things first, know what you both want, know where you are headed. Be sure to plan and make sure you both know what you want out of the relationship. It will make absolutely no sense if you both go into a relationship that you know deep down in your heart that you have no intention whatsoever of going anywhere with it. So be sure you both want the same thing.

COMMUNICATE REGULARLY
Try as much as you can to see each other...at least once every month, always make sure that you plan this ahead and be sure to include a lot of activities, visit lots of fun places...like museums, parks, the movies, have a weekend at a fancy hotel and try as much as possible to make every second count because....believe me...it does...and soon you will learn to look forward to these meeting...you will live for these meetings.

MAKE HONESTY YOU NUMBER RULE
Open your self up completely, write what you really feel in your emails, be sure not to leave anything out, use email communication to really express yourself, reason is that writing is more intense and it allows you to be more intimate, that way you can really bond, and of course don't forget to be honest, do not pretend to be who you are not, long distance relationships thrives only on honesty.

USE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES TO COMMUNICATE
Be sure to have the latest modes of communication, get an email account if you do not already have one.

Get Skype, that way you can actually get to see each other and even see a movie together if you want.

You can also use the instant messenger system

You can also get a webcam if you do not have one

All these communication tools will make your relationship a lot less like what it seems...a long distance relationship where you don't get to see one another.

SEND GIFTS ONCE IN A WHILE
Be sure to send your partner something personal every once in a while, it could be a anything from a gift to a written letter, but send something that will prove to your partner that you truly exist and that your indeed a living breathing person, that way you both will feel more intimate

HAVE FAITH
Of course people are going to tell you that long distance relationships are no good...

Don't you believe it. Have faith in yourself and have faith in your partner, believe in your heart that you can make it work.

Don't Let The Long Distance Break You

What if you fell in love with someone who lived hundreds of miles away? What if there were no dates, goodnight kisses, or trial sex before the relationship began? What if you couldn't keep tabs on them every day and make sure they were being faithful? I'm guessing you'd probably lose your mind! Long Distance relationships really aren't that bad though. I honestly think that starting a relationship that is long distance can be better than beginning it while close together. I say that because you really do get the opportunity to get to know and love the person with all the complications that dates, sex, and other people bring into the mix. You get the chance to know their insides and really build your relationship on a deeper connection that looks way beyond the physical.

If you can't survive being apart for long periods of time, then your relationship won't last anyways. Of course it's nice to go out and have fun together and cuddle up to watch movies but how well do you really know your boyfriend/girlfriend? Do you trust them with no questions asked? Most couples, especially nowadays, have a lot of trouble staying committed and trusting one another. Why is it like that though? Trust is such a huge factor because you spent so much time having "horizontal fellowship" (sex) instead of really getting to know each other for who you are.

Those of you already in long distance relationships just know that I have a lot of respect for you because I know what it takes. You have to almost over communicate with each other for things to go smoothly and you have to have confidence in yourself and faith in your partner. Please don't waste time wondering what they're doing and who they're with. If they've communicated it to you already you have to believe that and not let your friends or thoughts make you think any different. I make reference to my own relationship a lot because it had a lot go into to be the force that it is now. My boyfriend and I actually started dating over the phone. Granted we were best friends prior to him moving and us falling in love but we made it work. Going to high school together and knowing a lot of the same people. You can only imagine the haters we had, and we didn't even start talking on a level like that until college. People don't like to see the impossible work so just know that there's always going to be someone trying to get in your head and steer you away from what you two have going. I saved money and visited when I could and eventually God made it possible for me to move to Albuquerque. Trust for us is a non-issue; for the sole reason that our long distance period was so successful due to our over communication. No one was able to be like, "Hey I saw Jazmine at this place with this person" and he wasn't already aware. Everyone has someone out there for them. If you've started a long distance relationship with someone then they must mean a great deal to you because that's a hard decision to make. Don't let other people' and reckless thoughts break you guys up. Be strong and let me be an example to you that it DOES work! "True love doesn't mean being inseparable; it means being separated and nothing changes."

How To Survive A Long Distance Relationship - Advice On Feeling Lonesome

I was lonely when he went to another place for two years but it did not mean that I was alone because I had friends and family who had been there for me to get through with these tough times. It was a long distance love, but I overcame the feeling of loneliness because of some long distance relationship advice from friends.

Instead of crying and wasting my time, I sought for ways on how to make a long distance relationship work better than those times when we were still together. I did some extracurricular activities and participated in volunteered projects to make my time more productive and worthwhile. We cannot dwell forever on this ugly feeling of sadness.

One of the things that I did to release all emotions inside me was shouting aloud in a place where no one could hear me. It did help me so much that I actually equated it to a 30-minute crying moment. It was far better than crying because I saved my heart from any complications. It is the best long distance relationship advice that we could all learn from.

It all depends on our attitude as to how we deal with it. It is recommended to share our feelings to someone who we can trust because we can be more open to accept suggestions and advises; rather than sharing it to the whole world because it does not help that much but we only hurt ourselves even more. Thinking of it in a different perspective would make us move further in our lives.

Enduring a long distance love is a painful task that cannot be settled in a long distance relationship advice alone. Learning and accepting is part of recognition and transition of the changes in our life.

We will all be sad and that is the truth, but we are not separated emotionally. It is only physical separation but we are never separated from this special relationship. It is we who think that being apart is being alone again.

What To Do When Your Partner Is Far Away

Hi everyone, Anthony here!

Today, I want to talk to you all about what to do when your partner is far away.

More specifically, I'm talking about long distance relationships.

It's so hard sometimes when you can't just reach over and hug/kiss your partner because they are hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

The best advice I can give is to make the most of your time apart.

Something has brought you two together, but you are going to have to work at it if you want it to continue.

So, the main idea behind this article is to remind everyone in a long distance relationship to devote as much time to your partner as you can.

Even though they are far, it is no exception. In fact, some people may say that you have to work twice as hard to let your partner know that you are thinking about them, and often.

For those of you in one of these relationships, when was the last time that you contacted your partner? Was it more than a few hours ago? Maybe it's time to reach out again...

I have been in several long distance relationships, but the last one was the charm. I have been with my partner now for several years and we started out 1 year living far apart.

Luckily for us, it was only a 2-3 hour drive. So, each weekend, we would take turns driving over to see the other. We had the basic idea of what to do when your partner is far away, and we wanted to make it work for the long haul.

But that wasn't all...

Each and every day, the two of us would talk via text and phone calls, multiple times per day.

It was the best thing we knew how to do, because we wanted to make things work. (Plus, it also helped that we were, and still are, completely into each other!)

The main point of this article is to make time for your partner. Let them know that you love them. Let them know that they are worth that time and effort.

For other ideas on what to do when your partner is far away, please see my resource box below.

Tips to Maintain Long Distance Relationship

There is no need to rake up high phone bills or overuse the internet for chatting. Still how is it possible to be in a long distance relationship with poles apart?

The first rule for a lasting relationship over a long distance is to gain someone's trust. You will be aiming in thin air if there is no trust between you and your partner. Otherwise, it will just be a simple relation that lasted as long as the bubble on the water.

Communication is very important. It makes no difference if you are using a webcam to see the person physically. In long distance relations, the physical attraction comes in the second part when you two decide to meet. The first part is gaining the trust which comes only through communication like chatting or voice calling.

They say attitude is everything. Your attitude too matters a lot. Are you with your boyfriend or girlfriend just casually or are you serious? Some are there just to pass their time while some are really serious. Once this is ascertained then you know where you stand and also how far to pursue this long distance relationship. Obviously if things work out, it's the bonus.

There are some people who have never met the person but entered a very healthy long distance relationship. You may wonder how all this evolved. It may be hard to understand but it's true. It's the positive approach that makes the difference.

Remember, a long distance relationship is never boring. There is always the excitement of visualizing your partner (if you haven't seen him or her on webcam). The suggestion is, even if you have the facility don't use the webcam in your early days. Let the excitement remain and see how beautiful the world is.

Take up tasks and visualize what you are doing it with each other. Enter a world of virtual reality. Watch TV, go to the movies, talk about the day's happenings and see what magic this sort of interaction does to your relationship.

It needs no mentioning that sending gifts is another great idea. But bring excitement by sending gifts to postage addresses if possible and use normal paper letters.

Small things will take your long distance relationship to a higher level.

Long Distance Love Poems

Long distance love is sometimes seen as a modern phenomenon, in part caused by our increasing mobility, globalised working, and the rise of internet-driven relationships.

Today the traditional view of the long distance relationship (ldr) is one conducted almost exclusively over the web. Obviously this has its advantages and disadvantages. The immediacy of email and instant messaging, plus VOIP phone and video calls, can all bring our loved ones tantalisingly close. And that is the disadvantage - tantalisingly close and yet physically distant.

Long distance love poems can help separated lovers bridge that gap and articulate their feelings, not only to their distant partners, but also and equally importantly, to themselves.

However, for many people poetry is something they had to study at school and was probably some classical poet like Donne, or Byron, or of course Shakespeare. No doubt precisely because it was compulsory in the classroom, and also thanks to the often archaic language and obscure classical allusions, generations of people were put off poetry for life.

This is a real shame. Even some of those "stuffy old poets" of yesteryear wrote poems of real modernity, clarity and relevance to the 21st century. You have to hunt them out though. And even the more up-to-date looking ones may well need the occasional footnote of explanation to today's reader. It helps as well to understand how a poem achieves its effect on us. (As one poet said, poetry is "the best words in the best order".) Hopefully this will re-engage those people who never dreamed they would return to reading and enjoying poetry.

The easiest poems to start with are love poems. They talk to everyone, because everyone has at some stage in their life, whether consciously or not, felt love. Maybe not for another human being, (it might have been for example a pet), but nevertheless the feeling of love has been there.

And when we were young this love often came with the problem of separation: sometimes we were at different schools; in other towns or villages;? perhaps our families kept us apart...! For whatever reason this idea of distance keeping them apart is a common theme for lovers - think back to your own first experiences. So 'long distance love' is not just a phenomenon of today's global and mobile society. It's always been there, and that's why some of the older long distance love poems communicate directly with us today.

So, for everyone in a long distance relationship there are two main benefits to finding, reading, understanding, and above all experiencing long distance love poems:

Firstly they can offer us comfort, solace and inspiration in our enforced separation, and secondly they can put in to words far more succinctly and eloquently than we ever could, our thoughts, feelings and sensations. The long distance love poems which speak to us will also speak to our distant loved one, and say more than a hundred emails.

The author is a big fan of poetry, both classical and modern, and is keen to promote a greater readership of poetry in general, especially love poems and in particular long distance love poems.

His blog Long Distance Love Poems is there for anyone to enjoy, and hopefully to post their own favourites.

How to Survive A Long Distance Relationship - Advice On Jealousy

Trust is one of the foundations of a long-lasting relationship. It is also long distance relationship advice given to me when I had a distant love. I was assured of her love even though she was away from me. She did not make any promises that she would do this, and she would do that, but she made me feel that I can be a man that she wanted to share her whole life with.
