No one has ever said that a long distance relationship is easy. But then which relationship is anyway? A long-distance relationship comes with its ups and downs, like any other relationship and helps you develop a better understanding of the other person while you also work on your self and live your own life. Here are some things that you need to know when it comes to a long distance relationship.

Communication is the key for every relationship, whether it is a long distance one or not, familial or friendship. In long distance, however, communication plays even a more pivotal role since the distance could result in doubts and insecurities and the only way to not let that come in between is if there is a constant channel for healthy communication, where emotions are openly expressed and shared with your partner. In a long distance relationship, since physical presence and elements are not much of a usual affair like any other relationship, that calls for communication to be stronger, more transparent and honest while both the partners make time for each other to communicate and express, making up for the lack of actual physical meetings, interaction, and bonding.

A lot of times, partners in long distance relationships end up blaming the other for any lack of communication or any other reason. What usually happens is that the person is blamed because of the distance. We need to understand and slowly accept that long distance relationships are hard, but most of the times, it can be worked out if only the partners would give each other some benefit of the doubt whenever there is a fight or a misunderstanding, instead of jumping to conclusions.

People in relationships are individuals first - who have their own lives to live, their own respective needs to cater to. Then, there is a relationship where life is shared, and so are the ups and downs that come with it. In a long distance relationship, while you are busy with your life, your partner might need you, and that is when the idea of slowly and steadily making a long distance relationship work comes into the picture. Both the partners need to be together, depending on each of their own schedule, come up with a way to communicate regularly, where feelings are shared, and the lack of presence is made up for in one way or another.

So, if you are in a long distance relationship, talk to your partner and come up with a way to communicate. It could be a regular conversation, or could sometimes be exchanging pictures of what the other one is up to, or when you do a thing both of you love doing, send him a message and share it with him through a phone call or video call.

Trust is essential for every relationship since doubts can do no relationship any good. In long distance relationships, insecurities could get multifold if there is a lot of missing going on in one of the partner’s life or if there is a lack of a decent conversation. The insecurity of losing a partner can overshadow a long distance relationship, but it can also strengthen it. A relationship cannot be so convenient where everything goes on smoothly, and it requires for you to put in efforts and make it work, even in the hardest of times.

Long distance is also a way where you learn how trust can build a relationship, because after all, if you two are really into each other, there would not be any reason to be doubtful, and there shouldn't be, because no matter what you do, you should be trusting the person you are with.
