Video Games | Distance Relationships – How To Communicate When You’re Apart
We always want to be with the person we love most. Just the thought of not seeing your better half in a day or two is just an unbearable idea. What if one day, she gets a really big promotion or an opportunity she has been waiting for all her life even before you entered the picture? Sounds wonderful, right? You would most certainly be the happiest person for her! But, what if the catch is, she has to leave and stay in a place hundreds of miles away from you? Will you allow her? Can you let her go? What will you do?
What is the right thing to do, anyway?
This could be one of the hardest decisions one has to make. And if ever you are experiencing this dilemma, the only piece of advice that I can give you is to not stop her from pursuing her dreams. Instead, be the person who will support her to achieve the things that will make her a better and content person. I know. How about you? “I can’t live without her.” “I can’t imagine how life would be if she’ll be far away!” “How can we see each other and spend time together?” These maybe are a few or the possible rants that you’ll have.
Yes. Maintaining a distance relationship can be pretty difficult. But let me walk you through it. I will show you how you can make a distance relationship work.
Rule Setting
Dr. Greg Guldner, an expert on distance relationships and author of the book Long Distance Relationships: The Complete Guide Book once said that 70% of distance relationship couples, who failed to set rules in order to deal with the changes that being apart will contribute to the relationship, resort to breaking up after around six months. Having an agreement about not dating others, or communicating every day while being miles away from each other, and sticking to the agreements, is extremely important in order for distance relationships to survive. So, don’t forget to set the rules. Make sure that you both agree with every parameter you two have set and you two are pretty much willing to stick with the rules.
24/7 Open Communication Channels
In any relationship, open and clear communication is the key. Be vocal about your feelings and never forget to tell her how much you love her as many times as possible. And in all honesty, you are quite lucky to be able to live in the 21st century because you need not wait for months for her to receive your snail mail, pay huge amounts for monthly phone bills, or worst, wait for that glass bottle with a letter inside by the seashore just to get your partner’s response. All you need is an internet connection in order to have a 24/7 open communication not just with your romantic partner but also with your loved ones across the globe. A Skype account will work best for your video calls. MSN and Yahoo messengers are very helpful tools of communication that you can use even if you’re at work. E-mails are your best alternative for snail mails.
Regular Meet Ups
Who said you two can’t date anymore? How about playing a video game at the same time? Syncronize your times and agree to have a “cyber date.” See a movie and talk about it over the phone after. Beat each other on a Facebook game! And have a physical meet up once in a while.
Package Surprises
Make some effort to send her stuffs. A card, a bubble bath package, a box of chocolates – with the help of the internet, these things can be sent to your better half in just a few clicks! Or make a video message and upload it on YouTube then send her the link. There are so many ways to warm a lover’s heart even though you two are apart.
