Long Distance Love Relations
Are you thinking how to keep your long distance relationship alive and rocking, then here are a few guidelines to help you along the way. The first thing you need to do is set the boundaries. How long are you to stay apart? Would there be an eventual move towards settling down together in a year or so? Give a proper name to your love relationship. Are you simply dating, exclusive or engaged? What is the acceptable trespassing of boundaries? Flirting with another person, seeing another person or sleeping with another person? Accept the fact that it’s going to be a difficult relationship to maintain. Long distance calls, traveling; chat sessions on the net, all need to be done to keep the magic of love glowing.
Romantic Things to Do
- Keep each other updated on the small issues of each other’s lives.
- Do sweet things, like watching the same movie simultaneously.
- Send each other flowers or gifts for no reason, but love.
- Talk a lot about future together. Discuss being together eventually gives you the hope for the future.
- Visit each other as often as you can, and as often as you can afford.
- Don’t be jealous. Have trust on your partner and expect your partner to trust you.
- Have a social life apart from your partner and give your partner the freedom to have the same.
- Develop hobbies and interests that keep you occupied on weekends and holidays.
- Above all, know love is true, the relationship will survive all separation.
Cheating Partner
This is one fact of love relationships that no one wants to think about. But a partner who cheats on you is the scariest thing for any relationship. First and foremost, listen to your instincts. A woman would always realize when something is not right with her partner. Pay attention to the way your partner is behaving. You will get your clues right away. Accept the truth. Going into denial will not help. As will blaming yourself and getting into a spiral of self-esteem issues. There is nothing wrong with you and you are not to be blamed. Decide what you want to do. Do you want to stay back with the cheater or you want to move on?
Every love relationship is different. If you do decide to stay back and give your relationship a second chance, you need to talk to ensure that the partner understands you are not staying back because you accept the cheating behavior but that you expect the cheating episode was a once off and will never happen again.
- Agree to resolve the issues which may have led to the cheating.
- If it means going for a couple therapies together do so.
- Revalidate your belief in yourself.
- Invest in yourself and the things that made you attractive to your partner to begin with. Indulge yourself in things that make you feel good.
- Most important of all, don’t lose faith in the relationship.
- If your partner is sincerely sorry he cheated, then it might be worth reinvesting in the love relationship.
One Sided Love
This can be most damaging to one’s self esteem. To fall for someone, only to have your love rejected. But many of us go through this umpteen times before finding Mr. Right. And the truth is that the princess does have to meet many frogs, before chancing the frog prince. Getting rejection can lead to shock and anger, hurt and self esteem issues. People find it hard to believe that they could be rejected. They sink into depression and some go to the extent of committing suicide. Here are ways to deal with rejection.
Things to Do
- Think positive. Even though the person who rejected you might seem like the ultimate to you right now, think perhaps there is someone out there who is better suited to you, and that everything happens for the best.
- Treat this as an opportunity to make yourself so incredible that anyone who has rejected you would kick themselves later for their mistake.
- Find a hobby you enjoy and throw yourself into it to take your mind off the rejection. It would help your self esteem.
- Throw all your time and energy into building your career.
- Take a short vacation to a peaceful restful place to refresh yourself and come to terms with the rejection.
- Don’t let your rejection impact your professional life.
- Throw yourself out into the social scene again, meet people and be open to blind dates and socializing.
