Love is a complicated thing. You can meet someone on holiday and fall in love with them, only for them to have to go back to their home, and you to yours. The problem here is that you don’t want to be away from them, and yet there isn’t much you can do about this right now. In this article, we’re going to be looking at some of the things that you can do when you fall in love with someone who lives far away, so keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Keep The Communication Going

The first thing that you need to do is keep the communication going. The biggest killer of a long distance relationship is the fact that one or both of you have stopped communicating. When this happens, the trust issues start to build and things will only get worse from here. Talk to each other, tell each other how you are feeling even if it is hard to say or hard to hear. Emotions are messy, and relationships are messy but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t say whatever is on your mind.

If you think that the communication is slipping, have a conversation about it. Tell your partner that you don’t think you’re both doing everything you can and that you think you should both make a little more effort. There is nothing wrong with this, and your relationship will thank you for it.

Consider Moving

Have you considered moving to be closer to your partner? We’re almost positive that you have if you love them, and they have probably done the same for you. So, you need to think about the things that are stopping you from doing this. Really, the only two reasons that this would be a huge issue is if there are kids involved from previous relationships, or they live in another country. If it’s the latter, then we suggest you look at immigration solicitors and see what needs to be done in order to move to the country your partner lives in. If it’s the former, then you need to think carefully about what to do. You can always move and still see your kids, or with the permission of the other parent (if they’re involved) take them with you.

Make Time For Each Other

The most important thing that you need to do when you fall in love with someone who lives far away is make time for them, and they need to make time for you. Effort is the most attractive thing in the world, and if you are right for one another, then this won’t even be a consideration, it will just be done.

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you are going to need to do if you fall in love with someone who lives far away. Unfortunately, this happens to a lot of people, and it’s hard to navigate. But, if it is true love, then you will both find a way to make it work, and we hope that this is true in your case. We wish you the very best of luck.
