LDR Advice

[brookelauren]

Me and my first boyfriend of 9 months are in a LDR. We live an hour and a half away and see each other sometimes on the weekends. The distance has definitely got me crying sometimes at night wishing we weren't that far. I am very happy with him and I can see us having a future together someday. The distance won't be as bad once he gets his licence on his 16th birthday which is in March. Sometimes I break down and get crazy ideas such as him leaving me for another girl. I know he would never do that though. Does anyone have any advice to help us not worry as much about the distance?

As long as you stay committed, you guys will do fine.

It seems like once couple have been together for a while, they take the other person from granted and assume they will still be their. You need to always work to keep the relationship going. Remember how it was trying to win that person over? Always try to win that person over? even if you already have them. It seems like the distance, in this case, has really helped you appreciate what you have. Many people forget to appreciate that. As long as you continue to appreciate your significant other and work hard to keep them, you will be in a good situation which it sounds like.

How many miles is he away? Maybe once he gets it you can go on dates every two weeks or something like that.

LDR's can be very tough but you are torturing yourself dreaming up these worst case scenarios. Do you trust him? Do you really love him or are you obsessed with him?

All that a good relationship takes is honesty and good communication. As long as you tell him how you feel, and vice versa, then you are much more likely to have a healthy relationship.

LDR's are rather frustrating than joyful sometimes.

Talk to each other normally, play a game or two, Skype whenever you get the chance. You're lucky you get to see each other so that's a good asset.
