Are long distance relationships always unproductive?
Of course not. There are circumstances when a long-term distance format of relationships is forced and inevitable - for example, if people live in different cities or countries, with a very tight schedule, special working conditions, or in emergency circumstances. Here are the main characteristics that make it possible to look at such relationships as promising.
Important is your partner's clear need to get to know you deeply as a person, interest in your daily activities and surroundings.
A person tends to have steady, regular contact with you, and if there is an opportunity for face-to-face communication, he will definitely use it.
The partner demonstrates respect for your needs, does not impose his beliefs and views, gives space to be yourself and feel organic at the same time.
When entering into a conflict interaction, the partner does not slip into insults, does not humiliate, but tries to look for common ground for the further development of communication.
If your long-distance relationship meets these parameters, then it may indeed be worth the effort to strengthen it.

How to maintain a long distance relationship?
Let's be honest: it's not easy. First of all, because any serious relationship requires a predictable prospect, if not a life together, then the possibility of regular meetings live. It is very important for a couple to have common goals in the future, to make common plans.

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 long distance relationship 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 look for intersections: if we are talking about weekends or vacations, 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 stay in the presence of loved ones for a long time, since they do not know how to maintain a sense of their own autonomy without a sense of guilt or 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 it is to be with someone for a long time without the desire to distance themselves territorially. It can be difficult for such people to cope with the emotions that overwhelm them in a relationship, and one of the main options for solving this difficulty they see physical separation, withdrawal or departure.
In other words, sometimes long distance relationships are not a forced decision due to circumstances, but a purposeful vector for the development of interpersonal interaction. Only those people who in one way or another complement each other in their 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 a major change 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.
In any case, if you think that this is your person, then it is worth fighting for your happiness. Thank you for attention
