8 WAYS TO SURVIVE IN A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP.

-
Relationships are challenging enough as they are. So it’s even more challenging when your better half is miles away from you.
Might be because of unavoidable circumstances like what we’re currently going through- the limitation/cessation of movement or employment purposes.
How do we make this work?

1.REGULAR COMMUNICATION.


Communication is a strong pillar in relationships. When it’s regular it keeps you closer and helps in not falling out. 
 Text, audio call and even video call each other as often as possible. Making these small talks day in day out sums up to a stronger connection.

2.MAKE IT STEAMY.

You can talk dirty once in a while, but do this in a manner that won’t come off as perverted.
As much as you want to know how their day was and how they’re holding up, you also want them to feel the sexual chemistry is still intact and even distance can’t change that.
This just makes you keep yearning for them even more.

3.BE BIG ON TRUST.

You have to believe in your partner and assume that they’re doing what’s right by your commitment.
You don’t want to come off as too clingy and distrustful  by constantly nagging them about their whereabouts, who they are with or what they’ve been doing. 
They don’t need to answer all your calls immediately, maybe they’re committed elsewhere work wise.
Don’t be too quick to jump into negative conclusions.

4.BE SURE THE DISTANCE IS JUST BUT TEMPORARY.
 No matter how long we all date people from far, eventually we’ll need to settle down.
You can’t just be having conversations and great moments with someone if you really are not planning on ever closing up the distance gap.
Evaluate the possibility and probability of you settling down together to avoid wasting each other’s time.

5.REMIND THEM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM.

We all love hearing from our partners how they feel about us. Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together, it can never get old.
Constantly remind them how much strongly you feel about them, let them feel special and loved. Don’t just assume they know how you feel because you say it a few times or throw it in a conversation here and there.

6.BE THERE FOR THEM.

Even when you are not there, be there for them. What do I mean?
You may not have the chance in the present to be with them physically but always give them your ears and be their shoulder to lean on.
Console them when need be, support them in their endeavors and just be that strong pillar that they’d need in life.

7.HAVE SOMETHING YOU LOOK FORWARD TO DOING TOGETHER.

Isn’t it always nice to do things with your missing puzzle. 
You can make a bucket list of things you want to do together when you finally get to see them. It may range from making sand castles to going for hikes and camping together or even zip lining.
Have something that would boost your excitement level and just yearn to be with them even sooner.

8.MAKE FUTURE PLANS.

As I said earlier, most of us want to settle eventually. It’s promising to plan your future together. 
It cannot be all fun and just let the wave rock you wherever it may.
If they’re in another country for example, you’d need to figure out your living arrangements, who would give up their life and join the, other such things.

CONCLUSION.
With all that said, let’s put in an extra effort in our long distance relationships to make them worth the wait.

Signs Your Partner Is Toxic.

-
We often hear about toxic relationships. What Is A toxic relationship? How do we know we are in one. That’s what I want to briefly address. A toxic relationship is one where one patner has self absorbed characters and tendencies that leave the other patner emotionally physically and mentally drained. The partner that’s on the receiving end of the toxicity tend to put up with more than he/she should. So how do we know we’re in a toxic relationship? 1. Selfishness   You find that you tend to let them get away with whatever they want almost all the time.                           We do this just because we’re afraid to get into an unnecessary fight with them if they don’t get their way. You are always the one compromising. 2. Disrespect You Even in the public eye They do not seem to understand that there’s a place and time for a confrontation. For example you’d be in a mart shopping and you get a brand of what they like ...

8 SIGNS HE’S USING YOU.

This doesn’t necessarily mean using you sexually. He can use you emotionally and also financially. Yes! Even men can use women financially. Let’s get down to business. 1. INCONSISTENCY .  This mostly applies to his communication and what he needs you for. If it’s sexual, they tend to only come around when they want to sleep with you and go quiet after your meet up. If it’s money, the same thing happens they always seem to call you when they need to be sorted. They only resurface when they need to see you again and can never work the other way round for you. 2. DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE TOO MUCH. There are things that fire up people in relationships. Things a partner cannot just let go. With this man anything you do is cool with him.  You may say anything or complain about his bad communication and throw a few cuss words here and there but they’ll be just all cool and not really bothered. Or they’ll just give you a ‘it’s not like that, I’ve just been occupied.’ 3. HE’S ALREADY OCCUP...

The Little Big Things In A Relationship.

Relationships don’t have to be tough and too serious all the time. Sometimes all we need are the little things added together day in day out and we’re in a sailboat of happiness. They may seem like non-issues to many but they count a lot. TRUST I had to start with this one. If there’s no trust in a relationship, the foundation screams weak already.  No one likes to be doubted by their patner every minute. Give them that freedom and trust that they’ll do what’s  right and respectful towards you and your relationship. COMPLIMENTS  Everyone likes if not loves to be complimented. Try and do that to your partner whenever it deems fit.  For example; if he gets a new haircut and is staring at the mirror, a ‘you look great love,’ would go a long way and even stroke his ego. GRATITUDE Being greatful is an amazing trait.   For any gesture, doesn’t matter how big or small, it’s always honorable to appreciate it. It might be just picking up the laundry from the cleaner...
