Making Long-distance Relationships Work for You

Author: Teeja Hivsbob

If you've ever been involved in a long-distance relationship before, then anxiety and expectation is no stranger to you. Long-distance relationships require more effort from both partners in order to make it work, and more often than not, the physical separation leads to misunderstanding and breakup, unless the reasons for these are nipped in the bud.

Although email and one-on-one online interaction is truly a privilege for today's generation, these can sometimes remind the person of the distance barrier which separates them as a couple; in this sense, nothing beats a personal visit from someone you truly care about.

Sometimes the separation is a necessity, which the couple couldn't do without. One of them may be called away to service, either in the military, or for the interests of a company.

The separation, no matter how temporary, is painful nonetheless. As such, occasional visits are needed to keep the connection active, and to ensure that the physical aspect of intimacy is still alive and burning.

If the relationship is healthy enough to begin with, the reunion may enhance it further; relationships which are on the rocks will benefit from it as well, as it gives time for the couple to assess their situation, and if there's a need to step up or down in their relationship, now's the time to consider in taking it.

Several things can get in the way of the effectiveness of frequent visits: money is obviously a factor, and for those who just couldn't afford weekly interstate flights, and the time out may cost the person his wages.

There are also others who believe (though irrationally) that a visit is a gesture that makes up for infidelity or severe separation anxiety. With such mindsets, the visit will feel more like a chore than a pleasure. The anxieties associated with the reunion may be brought about by the physical inhibitions which have been pent up during the separation, and this must be sated first in order to keep the mindset healthy, and the reunion pleasurable.

While this may seem an offbeat concept for you, self-gratification can help ease out the tensions of separation. There is nothing wrong with the act in itself, and it can even prep you up for a visit with your significant other.

You can use experience-enhancing implements like sex toys as an aid to the effort; sex toys are not necessarily objects for people with wild notions, and you may be surprised at the fact that even the most conventional individuals have considered on using sex toys at least once. These not only ease the emotional and sexual tension associated with the separation, it also keeps your cravings at bay while your partner isn't around.

For the visiting individual, it is important to leave the cares along with the work behind if you expect to have a worthwhile reunion. If you're on a company assignment, plan your visit as soon as you seal a deal, and not while you are undergoing negotiations. In this way, the reunion is truly a celebration, both of the accomplishment and the get-together.
