1. Designate boundaries.

Deciding where your relationship will sail after separation needs to be "on shore." Long distance relationships will require from you more moral resources than the usual type of relationship, so to save yourself from unnecessary stress and senseless suffering is better in advance. There is nothing wrong with the fact that you are not planning to move in together, buy a cozy little house in the woods and have children. If at the moment you have enough to meet once or twice a couple of months, together go to the sea and spend time with each other, pourquoi pas? Here's just decide what you really expect from this relationship, set priorities and designate boundaries, it is necessary as early as possible.

2. Trust .

"Jealousy - a monster, self-starting and giving birth to itself," - said Shakespeare. And the writer certainly knew as much about love as modern Romeo and Juliet suffered from separation. Go crazy with jealousy when you do not know where and with whom your partner may actually be right now - not the best prospects. Constant haunting you feeling of jealousy, fear of being cheated, relentless desire to control your partner's life - is a good reason to work through your worries with a specialist. Well, if your partner regularly and deliberately throws you reasons to be jealous, perhaps it is worth asking about the seriousness of his intentions and your relationship. Trust should be an axiom of your relationship. You don't need another city or even another part of your city to cheat, and the feeling that distance gives you more reasons to be jealous is completely false. If you are not ready to trust your partner, ask yourself the question: are you ready to build a relationship with him in principle?

3. Create a sense of presence.

To avoid reminding yourself and your partner that you are separated by miles, try to make your online communication as virtual as possible. For example, if you regularly celebrate an important date for you together, why not pour yourself a glass of wine and clink glasses right through the computer monitor? Do not abandon your usual rituals and traditions just because you cannot be around now. And for your calls do not have to choose a private room and put on makeup. You can talk and make dinner, talk while you're getting ready for a meeting, when you're walking down the street, or even sitting in the bathroom. And a "Good Morning" message on your smartphone screen can help brighten the sadness of lonely mornings. We have a pretty funny tradition, or should I say habit, in our couple. When I can't sleep or just feel like I miss my favorite voice terribly, I call my boyfriend and ask him to tell me a story. It is incredibly soothing and at the same time brings us closer together, creates an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and homeliness around us.

All this clearly helps to be closer to your partner despite the huge miles between the couple.
