How Do I Maintain A College Relationship During Long-distance Summer?
By the last day of the year, we’ll be going out for 7 months. Then we split for 3.5 months! What are your suggestions to keep the relationship strong? Visiting is a possibility, but I know we need more than just 5 days together. Thank you!
My current fiance and I had serious problems with this. We began dating the first week of our freshman year in college. After nine months of being insperarable, suddenly we were forced to part! It was hard on both of us, and the only way we got through it was with each other. Communication is key. You need to talk to your boyfriend about how you are going to get through this. Tell him it’s hard to switch drastically from seeing someone every day to not seeing them at all. Be honest about what you need. Let him know if you would worry if he doesn’t call for an entire day. Tell him how you feel, and tell him what would help you not feel that way. Communication is the utmost of importance, so don’t hesitate to talk. Above all, talk to him before the two of you separate- now! Work this out before situations arise, not afterwards. All in all, this is how my fiance and I got through our first three months apart. In the years afterward, we’ve made painstaking efforts to spend breaks with each other- he’s stayed at my grandfather’s house, I’ve stayed at his parent’s ouse, etc., even during the summer. As our relationship progressed, we took this step so that we would not be separated and so that, in addition, we would have an opportunity to bond with each other’s family members. This may not be appropriate for the two of you right now, but maybe it is or maybe it will be some day. All in all, communicate! He won’t know how you feel unless you tell him, and he won’t know how to fix your poor feelings unless you tell him, either. Good luck!
video chat every night
communicate regularly!
trust each other
that is a good one sorry i wish i could help u
I can honestly say that there is only one (1) thing that will keep you together, and……………that……….is ……………..LOVE !! Good Luck and God Bless !!
Make a surprise visit! Go out and live a sexual fantasy in the wilderness way from prying eyes.
If you need to stick to this person during this distance time, then try phone calls, texting, email and old fashion pen pals. This helps keep in touch. But the other person has to respond the same way otherwise you two will be inbalanced and the relationship will feel it. Good luck.
Well.. long distance relationships are tough, but it is possible.. If you two really love eachother and want to be together then you guys would try anything and everything to be together.. And remember absence makes the heart grow fonder.. Good Luck!
Communication and understanding is the key. I did it for 1 1/2 years so 3-4 months is nothing. Just talk to each other as much as possible.
If visiting can not be enough,.. make sure you spend every night with your partner on the phone, that way you know it will work ,.or try to get a job closer to were the person might be , if this does not help,.. than know if its meant to be. It well work its self out anyway, don’t sweat it!!,.. I know it might be hard now , but you are young,.. live your own life also…. kiddo!!
Been there, done that. the best thing to do to keep you from kicking yourself later is to end the relationship now. I’m sure you are in love and will probably ignore what I have advised but it’s best for your own feelings to dump him before he finds someone closer and leaves you.
If it’s in the master plan of life and your love is strong a seperation will make it stronger. Cheap comminication would be Internet cam but you know that. Look, think about all the loved ones left behind when their mate goes to war, if it’s real love it will be there when you go back. You can’t make someone want you no matter how hard you try. And what’s wrong with 5 days together, it’s more than NO days together.
sounds like your in a pickle…deal with it
