6 Best Tips to Make Your Long-Distance Relationship Work
From someone who knows
Long-distance relationships are all the rage during the pandemic. Not to mention they were pretty popular beforehand. As someone who did long-distance for a year and a half and now lives with her partner, here are the six ways we made it work for us.
Your relationship may be different, but I think you’ll agree with the majority of these tips, if not #6. Feel free to share any other tips you have in the comments.
1. Use FaceTime, Skype, or any virtual video calling service
Not being able to see your partner on a day-to-day basis is tough enough as it is. Don’t make it harder by only using voice calls to communicate. Set up some times where you catch up with each other about your life and hang out.
My partner, M, & I would FaceTime every other day typically and discuss college (me) and work (him). It helped us keep up with how the other person was progressing in life and how they were feeling. Plus, the company at the end of the day was very much appreciated by both parties.
