Long distance relationship advice??

Question

My boyfriend and i have been in a relationship for almost 5 months now and it's really been going good. I love him a lot and he says he loves me too but we live 2,519 km apart. I'm going to meet him in person for the first time this summer and I'm just really scared because after I'm home again idk when I'll be able to see him again and if our long distance can really last.

So my questions are:

Can you guys give me advice on how to make the relationship work for the long run??

What can i do to not be anxious or scared about it not working😭😭???

Answer

1. Communicate with each other daily, whether it’s texting, phone calls, or FaceTiming/video chatting (unless certain circumstances make daily talks impossible). Communication is key in any relationship, but when it’s long distance, the communication is even more important. 
2. Be committed/faithful to each other!! Make sure ur both on the same page about what that exactly entails for ur specific relationship (again communication). 
3. Make sure ur both on the same page about other aspects of a relationship... short-term & long-term goals, etc (once again, communication lol). 
4. Visit each other whenever it may be possible! 
5. Patience!!!! With each other, and with the circumstances of being long distance. 
As far as how to deal with the anxieties & worries of it possibly not working out, once again, communication is a huge part of it... u have to be willing to communicate those feelings & try to understand each other’s feelings, and come together as a couple to reassure each other that ur both in it for the long haul. Some people believe that frequent reassurance is a bad thing, but that’s not necessarily true. A person who truly loves u & wants to be with u will have no issues giving u the reassurance that u need when u need it. Now, having said that, u also should try to put yourself in check at times when those anxieties/worries pop up, because while ur partner should be understanding, u also don’t want to overwhelm them with ur worries. So, remind yourself of all the ways they have already reassured u & continue to reassure u even without u asking for it. 
My boyfriend & I are long distance (met on Facebook) & have been together for a year and a half now. We text throughout the day, everyday, and video chat a few times a week. We actually only just met/saw each other in person for the first time in February. And, he’s coming back to visit again at the end of this week!! I personally have A LOT of trust issues & insecurities from my past experiences, and while it’s been hard on him at times, he’s been amazing at being patient with me & giving me the reassurance I need, because he loves me & wants me to be happy. Not only that, but I have a 12 year old son, while his son is grown (my boyfriend is older than me by 12 years), so he also understands that, for me, traveling is a bit more difficult at this time. He’s also very supportive of what I go through with my son’s behavioral issues & the issues I deal with with my grandmother, when he could ‘easily’ just walk away from this whole relationship. He truly is a Godsend!! We plan on being together for a long time & have discussed him eventually relocating here & getting married in the future.

Answer

First of all, why are you the one to go to this man for the first meeting? No girl no! Safety first! Dont you think this man has to prove himself safe? Has he made tangible effort for you? If he cant even move an inch to get to you first, this man is a low investment one and probably not worth it. Think about it.
