Long Distance Relationships.

I read this article and thought it was quite interesting. Whether you are in the position or not,it can help improve a relationship. Taken from ((The Gleaner.Aug.8 2010-Outlook))

While they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, a long-distance relationship is not for the faint-hearted. They can be difficult and bring disappointment and heartache when you cannot touch the one you love. You may even start doubting your feelings and this could overrun the beautiful relationship you once had. You may find that you start having arguments, but you should not succumb to them. In order not to drift apart, it takes similar commitment, patience, sacrifice and understanding as a relationship in which your partner is by your side.

IMPORTANT: Inform your partner of the friendships you have made and talk about the places you may go so that your partner who is away will not hear it second-hand as gossip.

TAKE NOTE: Resist the temptation to be controlling, even when you are apart, trying to peek into every move your partner makes and ascribing motive to them. This indicates jealousy, and without trust the relationship will not work.

READ CAREFULLY: Do not be unfaithful, even if you feel lonely. Guilt will only add to the pain of living away from your spouse. Men are more tempted to cheat as they find it difficult to cope with loneliness and boredom and miss the physical affection and sex. Men also worry about their women finding comfort in the arms of another man.

I hope this has given you some insight to the topic. For the full article visit: http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20100808/out/out8.html
