The LDR is often given a bad rap but actually I think it can work for awhile and sometimes even strengthen a relationship as it forces to you to be better communicators.
I do think it defintiely takes alot of work but then don't all good relationships worth the hard work?
Here are my Top 5 tips for surviving the distance..
1. Keep in touch throughout the day and night. Some texts, some emails, a facebook poke all let them know you are thinking about them throughout the day.
2. Nothing is too mundane. Swap stories about what you had for dinner, what time you are going to gym. This makes them feel part of your day to day life
3. Drunk dial them. You go to a club and then at the end of the night, you would usually go home to your lover. Calling them is second to that. Plus it eliminates any crazy fear that may have about you having met someone else whilst out. (this really can sneak in more often that not in a LDD)
4. Send them packages often. Love letter, or magazines or cards or choclates. Mail makes it more fun
5. Have an end plan. Even if its 5 years away. Having light at the end of the tunnel will make all the sucky parts easier
