Long distance relationships can put even the strongest couples to the test. They can be so worth it, but they require both partners to put the work in. Communication is your lifeline and making time for each other is crucial.

But while you must make the time for your partner, it’s also important to carry on with your own life.

Revolving your life around your partner that is hundred’s even thousand’s of miles away is a recipe for disaster, not to mention it’s going to make you feel really bad. Every day. All the time. Don’t do that.

What you should do is manage your expectations. Not every conversation is going to be mind-blowing and leave you feeling like you’re walking on clouds. Think about it, are regular relationships like that? Nope, so do yourself a favor and turn the heat down on the pressure cooker and don’t apply that here.

Every relationship has its highs and lows, a long distance relationship is no different.
