Long Distance Relationships share same facts as an average relationship. It involves two people who share an interest in each other’s lives, care for one another and of course have a love for each other that they hope will only continue to grow. On other hand, a long distance relationship does have its differences as well. It takes away your ability to see each other on a frequent note, as well as choice of being intimate whenever you desire, not to mention that there would be major trust required. Being unable to spend time together in a physical presence makes it harder to hang on to, but does not spell out doom for your relationship.

The first step is to make an agreement of what your expectations are in relationship and how much of a commitment you are willing to give and receive. If two of you decide to be monogamous, then it is clear that neither of you will be dating anyone else as long as your romantic relationship exists. Being clear about what you both want is extremely important, especially in a long distance relationship, in order to prevent future misunderstandings and mistakes. Do not feel afraid to tell your partner what you really need and want from him or her, you deserve chance to speak from your heart and he or she deserves to know truth and judge whether they can give it to you.

Trust is a major necessity if you wish to have your relationship from a distance. Without trust and honesty, relationship is in for danger and unsuccessfulness, just as it would be any other relationship. By accepting challenge of a long distance relationship, you also accepted fact that you will have to have trust and faith that your partner will not be seeing anyone else as promised. Being paranoid and accusing will only grow doubts, insecurity and tension between you and none of those three will help relationship survive successfully.
