How to maintain a relationship with a guy. How to maintain a relationship with a loved one. Why you have to stay in a long-term relationship

01.04.2019

The problem of maintaining a relationship at a distance with a loved one, who is geographically far from his half, is quite acute in modern life, especially among young people.

Business trips, internships at remote enterprises, training courses abroad, contract work in another city or even another country are all quite common realities.

Of course, this does not mean that it will be easy and simple to get over the separation. You must use the ready psychological strategy or develop your own, so that parting for a while does not turn into parting for you forever.

Even the smallest distance is too long for honest love

but even the most long distance- surmountable.

Long-distance relationships: PROS and CONS

"Pity, you are not here!" - this phrase reflects the essence of long-distance relationships.

Being thousands of kilometers away from each other, people show boundless trust in a partner whom they have never seen in reality, have great hope for a meeting, spend a lot of time talking on the phone and Skype, chatting on social networks.

Such a relationship can last for several years, more and more assuring partners at a distance that their feelings are eternal.

In 10% of cases of love at a distance, lovers really meet in reality, but only in 2% of cases they stay with each other for a more or less long time.

Why do people so stubbornly believe in love at a distance?

Long-distance relationships: a few "FOR"

Love at a distance is a handy thing. In order to print and send a couple of lines over the network to your half, you do not need to cut out a scarce free time;
no need to tidy yourself up for hours - done in advance beautiful pictures replace both a living partner;
the costs are minimal - for communication, because rarely anyone dares to send gifts to the other end of the world, and even more so money. In addition, there is no need to pay rent and utilities(most often, lovers of love live with relatives at a distance);
fans of love at a distance are spared from their daily routine - it is because of this that their relationship lasts so long. Only romance, love and euphoria. No socks all over the apartment, taking out the brain and trash, going to supermarkets.
On the Internet, people often dare to share very intimate things, this connects even more. At such large distances, the protective barrier does not work - the border of personal space. If lovers say at a distance that they know each other better than anyone else in the world, they are more likely to be right than not.
love at a distance is fanned by a special romance. It is fashionable to love at a distance. It is not uncommon for partners to remain partners only for evil to all skeptics, whose voices begin to sound in their heads when the relationship has been going on for a long time.
The ability to send your loved one a couple of stickers, beautiful pictures and sensual melodies more than compensates for the lack of gifts and meetings in the cafe. Oddly enough, people rejoice at virtual signs of attention no less than real ones.

Relationships at a distance: a few "AGAINST"

Skeptics are largely right about love at a distance, for example:

Physical contact means a lot. And he just does not exist in a long-distance relationship. It's not even so much about sex (although it's about it too). Without touch, body odor, the feeling that a loved one is near, love at a distance is a set of symbols, albeit with a very romantic meaning. Words do not warm in the same way as the warmth of a loved one.
The absence of this warmth often pushes lovers to cheat. And while their heart still belongs to a distant partner, it won't be for long. Soon, physical affection will outweigh terabytes of love messages.
No matter how much a person talks about himself, he will never talk about his facial expressions, about his gestures, as well as about subconscious motives. He just doesn't know anything about it. And if he thinks he knows, then his information on this matter in best case incomplete.
People look different in photos and videos than in reality. Usually much better, precisely because even the most modern cameras have lower resolutions than the human eye. The camera simply conceals minor defects in appearance from lovers.
Peer pressure also plays a role. Only the strongest feelings and the most stubborn people are able to resist him. In the end, under the pressure of friends and family, lovers begin to suspect each other of betrayal or cooling of feelings.
Lack of routine is doing the lovers a disservice. Spoiled by romance, they are completely unprepared for everyday difficulties. A banal difference in views on order in the house can kill almost any love.

The lists of "FOR" and "AGAINST" relationships at a distance can be endlessly continued. But the decisive word on the question of the existence of love at a distance still belongs to the lovers - it is up to them to decide: to refute all the arguments of the skeptics or to join the ranks of the army of those disappointed in love at a distance.

But everyone who dared to let such love into their hearts should be prepared for great difficulties and be able to maintain such a relationship for a long time.

How to keep a long distance relationship with a guy

When dealing with a beloved guy who is far from you, it is important to observe the golden mean... Too frequent calls, SMS, requests to come at least for a day, etc. can cause irritation, which in your relationship is now completely useless. Below are some tips on how to maintain a long distance relationship with a loved one who has temporarily left for another city.

1. Negotiate the time for calls and try not to call at other times

This is especially true if the guy did not go on a tour of European cities, for example, but on an internship or on a business trip. It is clear that you are bored. But put yourself in his place: he is in a new environment where he needs to show off with better side, worried, and here you are with your constant calls. This is distracting, unnerving, and creates additional problems. And now a person has enough of them.

2. Try to talk less yourself and let your loved one talk

3. Write letters

During a conversation on the phone, it is not always possible to say out loud everything that is in the heart. If you do not know how best to tell about your feelings, how much you missed you and how you look forward to meeting - write a letter. Better not SMS, but a full-fledged letter that can be sent by email.

4. Spend time together on the weekend

It is quite possible to do this, even being in hundreds and thousands of kilometers from each other. For example, watch the same film, program, concert together at the same time. Or just do the cleaning in the apartment with Skype turned on - walk by the laptop, look into it and see your beloved, as if he is putting things in order in the next room. This brings you closer and helps to mentally overcome the distance.

5. Start a ritual

It is very important, even at a distance, to have something in common that is constantly repeated, from day to day. For example, the obligatory exchange of sms or mms before going to bed. Or breakfast with the same dishes (discuss the menu for the next day in advance). Or evening walks at the same time, during which you can chat on the phone without any distraction.

The ritual can be anything from cycling to shopping for groceries. The main thing is that the time coincides with you and him, and so that you can later discuss whether you liked breakfast, how many kilometers you managed to overcome during a run, etc.

6. Do not try to control every step of your loved one.

First, it’s unrealistic, which means it doesn’t make sense. Secondly, it is very annoying.

Sooner or later, the guy will have a thought: if she controls my every step for so many kilometers, what will happen when I return? Will follow me like a ponytail? Spy on me? Will they hire a detective? Do I need it?

7. Make good use of your time away.

No need to shed tears from morning to evening and feel sorry for yourself. Do something you haven't had enough time for. Read a book, sign up for a pool or fitness center, learn how to cook deliciously, master Eastern dance... There are a lot of options. After all, you have freed up a lot of time that you used to spend with your beloved. So make good use of it. Imagine how you will surprise him with your fit figure or culinary talents when he returns.

8. Don't let your self-interest fade away.

Men are known to love with their eyes. Just talking on the phone is not enough for them, especially when there are many strangers around and, quite possibly, pretty girls... Therefore, do not forget to send the guy mms-ki or upload your photos on social networks, showing your best side - in beautiful outfits, with makeup, hairdo, etc.

It will be quite appropriate enough candid photos(if your relationship has already gone beyond candy-bouquet period) in sexy lingerie or not at all. Of course, such photos should be shown only in private communication... Skype video calling is another one a great opportunity stir up interest in yourself.

There are many options for how exactly to do this - it is worth showing imagination.

How to maintain a long-distance relationship with a girl

1. Don't forget about romance in a relationship.

Daily calls are, of course, good. But they are not enough to keep the relationship alive. Do romantic acts- order flowers with delivery, pay for dinner for your beloved in your city, send by mail small gift... It is better if it is unexpected - such a gift is doubly pleasant.

2. Use different ways to communicate

Email, video calls, even paper letters- all this is a good addition to the usual phone calls... There is never a lot of communication at a distance, especially for a girl who now feels abandoned and lonely. Don't let her feel sad.

3. Visit each other

If you have the opportunity to visit a girl, be sure to use it. Of course, you can set the order of trips to each other, but all other things being equal, it will be better if you are the one to go. Of course, there may be exceptions - for example, if you are on a business trip in Paris, and not in Magadan. Any girl will gladly fly to the capital of France, not really worrying about the difficulties of the way.

4. Be patient

Girls are jealous, emotionally unstable, excitable, whiny. And all these traits can be exacerbated in separation from a loved one, when there is no one to hug, calm, regret. Take it easy. Now it is not easy for both of you, but after all, you are the strong half in your couple.

5. Do not shy away from discussing joint plans.

Even if it seems ridiculous and inappropriate to you to discuss at the beginning of autumn where you will go to rest next summer, do not deny your beloved the pleasure of dreaming. After all, this is the time when you will be together. If you are going to get married, then get ready for endless discussions of dress, suit, wedding ceremony and its location.

You can plan anything you want - even the joint purchase of an apartment and the number of children you want to give birth to. Believe me, this is really important for your girlfriend - general plans bring you closer, reduce the distance between you and help maintain the relationship.

6. Take an interest in the life of your beloved

You don't need to bother your friend with constant questions about where she was, what she was doing, why she didn't answer the call right away. But you should not be completely indifferent to her life - ask her about friends, old and new, events in life, say how much you love her and how you envy all those who are now with her. Remember - women love with their ears.

7. Make gifts

It is not necessary to buy expensive jewelry... Although, if you have such a financial opportunity, you can stop at this option. But even cute trinkets Teddy bears, pendants will show your girlfriend that you do not forget about her, and will remind of you during the hours of separation.

8. Be near

Even though you are miles apart, your girlfriend should know that you can always be relied upon. If she goes to the hospital or some other trouble happens to her, you must drop everything and immediately rush to help. Perhaps she will understand if you fail to do this. But a crack in the relationship, like a latent resentment, will appear.

In addition to everything listed above, psychologists advise - treat separation as an opportunity to slowly think about your relationship.

From a distance, it usually becomes more obvious if your feelings are as strong as you thought. Are you willing to wait to meet this person instead of starting a relationship with a new boyfriend or girlfriend? And if you are ready, then for whatever reason - because you cannot imagine a relationship with someone else, or because you are afraid to start a new relationship, even if the existing ones do not suit you very much.

It has always been so that the depth of love is known only in the hour of separation.

Epilogue

Testing love by distance - not so much bad way find out if you are really dating your soul mate, with whom it is worth starting a family and maintaining a relationship for many years.

Sometimes it is the kilometers separating you that ignite feelings that have barely smoldered. Or, on the contrary, they extinguish them. From this point of view, it is worth considering separation not as a punishment, but as a gift from heaven.

Do you believe that love at a distance is possible?

Having found her soul mate, every girl or woman believes that love has happened to her forever and they will live happily ever after. It is necessary to throw a brush of patience, understanding, wisdom and support into the fire. They are not born with these skills, they are not taught this at school and at the university. When there is a need to learn how to preserve feelings, you can borrow the experience from parents if their marriage is happy, elderly wise couples or psychologists.

Girls often make one common mistake - trying to become everything for their boyfriend. They are actively interested in his hobbies, read books that are not interesting to them, watch football and eat unloved dishes. As a result of such a filling of the guy's living space, he begins to choke on her omnipresence.

This behavior is fraught with disadvantages:

guys consider the girl intrusive and try to get rid of her as soon as possible;
some regard this behavior as self-distrust;
lack of personal space destroys the guy's communication with friends;
the girl constantly adjusts to other people's interests and betrays herself.

Trying too hard to please the guy, the girl steps over herself, ceases to distinguish where her interests are, and where are others. This behavior can end in an emotional outburst, which will give her the opportunity to relieve tension, but it is not known how this will be perceived by the guy.

The second extreme is that the girl begins to do everything to become a dream for him.

She is trying:

cook deliciously;
look beautiful;
never get angry or irritated;
be interesting in communication.

The girl reads women's magazines, goes to beauty salons and studies psychological articles, trying to always be on top. This approach requires a lot of stress, so she will get tired, and a real person's face will appear - alive and sincere.

Not all guys love ideal girls, some consider them lifeless and discolored.

It is much more interesting to communicate with a living person, filled with emotions. If a girl is worried about how to support her feelings, it is better to be herself from the very beginning. You don't need to be a perfect doll - it looks boring and uninteresting. Correct option- to be sincere, because this is how the guy liked her.

Willingness to give in

The more rigid and categorical a person is, the more difficult it is for him to build personal relationships. The ability to make concessions is an eternally feminine category that characterizes wise man... Being cranky and selfish is an enjoyable activity that most guys appreciate. But this opportunity should be used occasionally.

Already four times went on vacation to the sea, and your beloved rushes to the village to see his grandmother? You can give in and try to find yourself there interesting activity: paint landscapes, swim or sunbathe. Reasonable concessions are a way of maintaining a love connection.

Different points of view lead to controversy. To prevent this from happening, avoid sharp corners, express your opinion at the minute when your loved one is ready to listen to it. Women's intuition will help to determine such a moment.

Simple advice from a psychologist: work on building personal relationships from both sides.

People are constantly changing, and you need to have the desire and interest in constantly meeting the Other in a familiar person.

talk about problems, do not leave unresolved issues;
respect the interests of another if they are fundamentally different from their own;
do not gloss over the partner's shortcomings; reminding them gently and tolerantly if a person wants to get rid of them;
learn to listen and support your soul mate;
not criticize each other in public;
monitor personal hygiene, do not allow yourself to "sink" into the home;
make joint plans;
admit mistakes and ask for forgiveness for mistakes;
cooperate with each other and share responsibilities;
monitor the health.

The list of tips important for the harmony of a relationship between two is incomplete, but adherence to these simple rules can significantly improve the relationship of partners at any stage.

All couples go through the following stages in a relationship:

falling in love is a vivid "chemical love", during which hormones are released that are responsible for euphoria and a sense of pleasure, lasts 12-18 months;
satiety - usually appears after the couple begins to live together; comes in a year, and for someone - in a couple of months;
rejection - the stage of dropping pink glasses, quarrels and attempts to remake a partner, for many ends with a break in relations;
patience - the crisis of relationships is overcome by working on oneself, reading literature and attending trainings, sprouts of wisdom appear, and quarrels become manageable (usually this period falls on 3-5 years life together);
service - sincere desire taking care of another person causes the same care in return over time, from this moment the cultivation of true love in the soul begins;
respect - the couple has accumulated a large baggage of thoughts, feelings, ideas, material wealth and can sincerely exchange them, this is the stage of cooperation, gratitude and mutual trust;
love - it comes into a relationship between two not as a gift, but as a fruit nurtured by their efforts.

Relationships can only be maintained if they are sincere and mutual. But, as you know, nothing is perfect. And even in the most strong relationship a crack may occur. And who knows if this relationship was sincere. And yet the question arises - why did this happen?
