Long Distance Relationship and How To Make It Work
Dear Love Lady,
I have a love problem and I don't know what to do. I am a freshman in college and so is my boyfriend. We have been together since our senior year in high school, and we are very much in love. But, since we've been at college, we have developed a problem. We don't see each other from month to month. You see, we go to colleges in completely different states. We have always lived on the same street, but now we are so far apart. I don't even know if it will work, or better yet how to make it work. Any advice? Sad and In Love, Atlanta, GA
Dear Sad and In Love,
Well, it sounds as if you have a great thing if you

I would pretend that it was my boyfriend doing it and then I would think of how I would feel if he did it. If you would get upset about it, than 10 times out of 10 so would he.
There has to be trust in every important relationship, a relationship won't last if there are doubts on either end. Always trust that your boyfriend is being honest with you and always be honest with him.
The next thing a long-distance relationship needs is communication.
Good communication is a MUST! You and your boyfriend have to have open lines of communication. If something is bothering one of you, you must tell the other how you are feeling. If you don't be open the other will never know what you are thinking or if there is a problem. Unless of course you can read minds.
Just kidding! There shouldn't be secrets kept from one another and if there are open communication lines, it will avoid any types of problems.
Another aspect of communication that is important is expressing your feelings. If you are missing your boyfriend a lot one day, tell him. It will make him feel good to know that you are thinking of him and need him. By expressing your feelings, it will keep the relationship open and honest. And also add a little excitement for the next time you get to see each
Communication is important in all relationships regardless if the relationship is intended for love or other personal gains.
Being aware of these factors and being sympathetic to them will hopefully help the relationship
We spent our time in each other's company every chance we had. We often went on dates that often included hiking and attending drive-in movies. As our relationship progressed, matters grew serious. She would be leaving to attend Morehead University and I would continue to attend school in Pike County. We both decided that one night, whatever innocence our relationship contained, would be lost. After that, my love for her grew stronger. For me, it felt like our love was made for a movie screen. She was the first girl that I came to truly love and care about. All my past relationships faded away into nothing but silly flings that seemed to not matter anymore. She was all that was on my
Two clichés: Absence makes the heart grow fonder and Out of sight, out of mind. Which one of these two conflicting views is closer to the reality? As it turns out, it does not really matter that much since long distance relationships (LDR) suffer from exactly the same strengths and weaknesses as proximal relationships. Whether two people are going to have fulfilling relationship does not only depend on their geographical closeness. What matters is quality, not quantity. According to one expert on LDRs, "the majority of studies that have been done show no greater risk of an LDR breaking up than any other relationship (Guldner, 2004, p. 6)." An LDR relationship has the same likelihood of
Be genuine in your communication and don 't hide your feelings. Example: "I’m not sure what to say, but I want you to know I care."

Communication is one of the most important aspects in romantic relationships and different communication styles can affect relationships differently. Relationships can be both positively and negatively affected depending on the level of communication between the partners.
Airing your grievances and don’t let fears of authority or possible retribution keep you from raising the issues you have with him or her. The best relationship is one in which you can openly discuss something you think
Communication is the number one key to a good relationship. When there is no communication between both parties involved in the relationship, that is when the relationship fails whether it is a man and a woman, or a child trying to divorce his/her parents or friends cutting their ties forever.
I hope my advices will help any of you which are having a relationship now.
I am have currently been in a relationship for one year and all is great, but for the past 7 months we have been in two different cities and more recently even states apart. At first we were only a few hours away, but our relationship was in a real bad place because we round it hard to find time to talk to one another. I was doing a summer internship that kept me busy 24/7, and he was recently graduated working 9 to 5 in Houston. Our problem began, when he would want to call and talk, but I was working still, which lead to me calling late and we would both be too tired to talk. This pretty
I feel hurt when we don’t communicate and ignore each other because talking is the only thing we can when we are apart from each other. It also tells me that the person whom I love more than anything don’t think of me throughout the day. I know you have a very busy life and I can't force you to think about me. It has to come naturally where you genuinely miss
Miscommunication has been a problem when dealing with these differences such as relationships. Romantic relationships often end due to miscommunication between the man and woman (Renwall.2010). It’s not because either of the two didn’t have good intentions, it’s because they didn’t communicate well enough to
Starting with a bit of background information, I found my Cheese Station C, also known as Jeremiah, during my sophomore year of high school. He was smart, athletic, kind, and handsome. I got comfortable with him and we had a great relationship for well over two years. He was my Cheese Station C because I felt comfortable hanging up my running shoes and being happy where I was. I didn’t have to go out in the maze to look for new relationships because I had everything right where I wanted it. Fast forward over two years, and that is when my cheese was moved. Jeremiah decided that going to separate colleges in the fall would be too hard
