This is a Thread about how to make a long Distance relationship work.

DISCLAIMER 💀

This thread is for lovers that are in different geographical locations for unavoidable reasons but want a future together it’s not for those doing online dating with no future ambition 🤡

#1 you need to have a serious conversation with your partner about what you both want from the relationship and make sure both of you are on the same page. The conversation must answer questions like ‘where/when/how are we settling down?’

#2 if you depend only only on physical intimacy to feel close or love from your partner then you aren’t ready for a long distance relationship. If you have to see your partner everyday and get physical contact, long distance relationship won’t work for you.

#3 if you have trust issues then stay away from long distance relationships or you will die of heart attack. Trust Is a major factor in this kind of relationship and if it’s absent the relationship will crumble

#4 communication is the major key for survival of a long distance relationship. Make your partner a part of your day, find creative ways to communicate with them and have a habit and communication plan.

#5 don’t choke your partner. Understand that your partner has a life outside the relationship and you must learn to give them space and not be calling and texting everytime, it can become irritating.

#6 I’m fond of using the phrase ‘deliberate and conscious effort’ this is needed to build trust. You must work on being open with your partner sharing your thoughts, insecurities, fears and weaknesses even when you are jealous. Be open!

#7 know each other’s schedule especially when y’all are in different time zones. Know when they will be asleep, working or in class. Don’t go and be calling at awkward times or expecting communication when they are busy.

#8 Try to do similar things as per watch same series, read books, share songs, gossip together etc. by doing this, you both will create a bond and have more things to talk about.

#9 if you want your long distance relationship to work and make it spicy, you should be open to stuff like sex chat or video calls that you both get all nasty and stuff. Body no be firewood

#10 finally! Have a goal together, plan when you both are settling down, where you will and how you will do it . If 2 people are on the same page no distance can keep them apart.

Thanks and God bless.
