Are you the one who constantly mourns about your long distance relationship? Well, it is true that a relationship at a distance can be quite painful. Especially when you happen to look at those couple who have all the fun, dating, dining out, shopping together, going to movies and can be intimate, it will be really painful and you strongly feel your missing partner. Being in a long distance relationship needs a strong heart and it can hit hard on you in terms of emotions and physical behaviours (believe me, I have had one!).

But why do you always think in terms of the odds? There is rather a beautiful side too!

You:

Since your partner is far away, you are on your own. You have your space and there is no one inside the boundary. You can live your own life and no one is watching you. You won’t be invaded by your partner when you are seriously working on your thesis or you won’t have to be all laughing at a damn boring movie just because your partner likes it. You have your privacy untouched.

You can go to places of your choice, of course you can inform your partner and ask suggestions, but the decision is yours. Why? Because your partner is not going to come there with you; you are going there alone so you are free to make your own choice. This applies to many such things in your life. You can wear that dress which you partner dislikes but you like, attend a very important party of your best friend with whom your partner is not in good terms and so on.

Expand:

When your partner is not around, you have extra time for sure. Use that time constructively and profitably. You can earn money by doing part time jobs or doing something online (for which there are hundreds of possible ways). You can keep yourself fit by joining a gym, going hiking, swimming; these activities not only keep you fit physically but also refreshes you mentally. You can equip yourself with skills by attending various certificate courses available. The opportunities are virtually endless. Remember you are just using the time you will spend with your partner on these activities which will benefit you on your health, mental state, lifestyle, financial status and career.

Fonder:

I am not only talking for your benefit but also for the benefit of your love. Yes, when you are at a distance you miss your sweet partner, your bond increases and so does your love. Ever heard of the saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. It works just right when you are at a long distance.
