Thinking about ‘prince charming’ or ‘my girl’ never led the mind to even think loving someone in his/her absence. Waiting endlessly for that perfects someone has sometimes led us to find love in the remotest corners of earth. The moulding of relationship from friendship to love among pen pals, net friends or even exchanging contacts between casual acquaintances are few instances, which can be summoned in few words –
“Don’t hunt for love, the love will find you”.

My friend is currently trying her share of short spell of separation from her beloved but it’s amazing to see her cope so well with it. Her fiancée has been out of station for nearly a month and she says that she now knows more about him in a month than she did when she got engaged three months before!

Long distance relationships share the same facts as an average relationship but depend largely on trust, honesty and regular communication. For most couples, love blossoms when they have the blessings of companionship but in LDR, the choice of each other’s company is rare.
One tends to become suspicious at the slightest hint of unfaithfulness from the partner. Despair overcomes when these doubt become real. LDRs are known to test the faithfulness of a partner. They check the limits of your love, but reward you in the end with a partner who is too glad to have you as a part of life or at least the freedom of choice.

Making an LDR work

  • Long distance relationship is not an easy task. It’s like a sapling that has to be nurtured with love, honesty and lots of trust. Here are few tips on making an LDR success.
  • Discuss the expectations and level of commitment to each other clearly, leaving no space for misunderstandings.
  • Never let a communication gap occur between you.
  • Exchange letters, mails and photographs with each other. Make sure you send gifts and mementos once in a while.
  • Plan a surprise visit if you can. It shows how much you care and crave to be with your beloved even if it is for a few moments.
  • Trust your partner. Being paranoid and accusing will only lead to tension and may also cause feelings of insecurity between the both of you.
  • Make him/her feel like a part of your life even in absence by keeping each other informed of the events in your social/personal life.
