So are all long-distance relationships doomed from the start?
Perhaps the most important thing to discuss is how you see the relationship evolving.
Do: Keep in touch
This seems like a no-brainer of course you gotta stay connected.
Otherwise, it isn’t much of a relationship.
All relationships take work, and long-distance relationships doubly so.
You should also arrange to see each other in person as often as is possible.
If you’re a few hours apart, maybe one weekend a month would be doable.
A real, non-virtual reminder of your love may be the next best thing to being there.
They never have to go out solo, or settle for another evening of TV and frozen pizza.
Don’t forget that non-long distance relationships have their ups and downs too.
While distance is a stressor, it’s hardly the only factor that can make a relationship fail.
In the end, each relationship is entirely unique to the two people who are in it.
