Full Question: How would I go about transitioning from face-to-face to LDR D/s relationship? We’re going to different Universities.
Answer:
Long-Distance Relationships are quite different from regular relationships and they are not easy to handle but they can be challenging and a lot of fun too.
It’s a new way of living life altogether!
Researching what it’s like transitioning into a long-distance relationship, I found a lot of information from military couples that is relevant here. In fact, I think military relationships have a long history of working hard to keep love alive over distance and varying levels of contact.
Here are 3 very important tips I picked up from my reading.
You’ll Occasionally Be Overemotional
You love each other but time and distance separate you to different parts of the world. Distance has always been scary whether it’s a couple of days or a couple of months away from each other, so be ready to get a little teary-eyed every now and then initially.
Take Care Of Yourself
Being apart from the person you love can lead to stress, worry, and anxiety. You could spend the whole time like that, or learn how to do some self care. Find the small joys in life, enjoy living your life and go do things. That way when you talk to your loved one you have wonderful things to share!
Do not Keep Talking About How Hard a Long Distance Relationship is
Your relationship isn’t on hold. It’s just operating in a different manner, so try to see the best in it and embrace the experience. If all you can talk about is how hard it is, you will lose sight of how wonderful the person you are with is and what stories you can share together. Be with them when you can, any way you can, don’t just lament about how hard being apart is.
No matter how long your relationship has to be apart, it is possible to keep the love going and when you reunite, can pick up right where you left off.
