I'm in a long distance relationship. And I'm going to tell you this- It can work but it's HARD. I'm not going to sugar coat it for you and tell you that it's easy, because it isn't. As any human, I have the desire to see him and hold him and I simply can't for the fact of the distance. He's in California, I'm in Florida. Yeah, it's not easy. But next to caring for the person deeply, these are the three things that you essentially need-
One: Trust. If you don't have this, don't bother with it then. If you're going to be getting suspicious of every little thing he does (keeping in mind that he does have a life of his own that doesn't revolve around you 24/7) and reading too deep into little things... it'll go to hell in a hand basket in the span of a second. If he says that he has deep feelings for you and you know in your heart he means it, that's all you need to get you through until you get the chance to be with him. Two: Respect. Three: Loyalty. If you feel you won't be able to do it because your eyes might wander elsewhere or you don't think you'll be able to restrain yourself... you have no business in being in the relationship. Or if you attempt it and then find out you can't do it, it's better to step up and admit it then let it play out and causing damage later on. |
