In a long-distance relationship, there must be an element of hope for compatibility - without this, they quickly fade away. It is impossible to imagine a relationship at a distance in which partners do not live together at all, even from time to time and have nothing in common in the physical, real world👌.

Try to discuss the plans of each of you and find points of intersection: if it's about weekends or holidays, try to figure out where to really spend this time together👩‍❤️‍👨.

Long distance relationships are always a challenge. It is worth noting that people with a special psychological profile often choose this format voluntarily - it is often difficult for them to be in the presence of loved ones for a long time, as they do not know how to maintain a sense of their own autonomy, without guilt and shame. Probably, during their growing up, parents or close adults did not set an example of harmonious coexistence with a partner, and they do not know how to stay with someone for a long time without striving to distance themselves territorially. It can be difficult for such people to cope with overwhelming emotions in a relationship, and they see physical separation, separation or departure as one of the main options for solving this difficulty.

In other words, sometimes relationships at a distance are not a forced decision of circumstances, but a purposeful vector for the development of interpersonal interaction. Only those people who in one way or another complement each other in the need to territorially regulate proximity can stay in such unions for a long time. In such a case, changing the format of the relationship may require the person to make major changes in how he or she interprets their feelings when the partner is physically around. Often, the help of a psychotherapist is required here, since behavior patterns are a stable thing, and their correction takes time and effort.
