Hey! I just got into my first medium distance relationship. Does anyone have any tips to make sure the relationship stays healthy and ways to make her still feel special when we’re not with each other?

When I was in a long term relationship for a while I would just order things to show up at their house. Flowers, snacks, random stuff on Amazon that made me think of her. It’s a bit pricey to do it often but it’s a nice way to surprise your partner over distance

Yes! My credentials: my gf and I have done long distance across the country for 3 years, and are now moving in together. 1) COMMUNICATE. Set intentional time to discuss what is going well and what needs improvement. Every month or so we would say “what I’m grateful for, what you/I/we can improve on, what I’m looking forward to” 2) If possible, set a date that you will see each other again next each time you leave

3) Figure out when your “end game” is. When will you be able to end long distance? 4) Figure out what you can do together while apart. Cooperative games online? Watch a show together? Adult coloring books while listening to the same playlist? Each go to a restaurant and FaceTime each other? Make those into dates, and call them dates!

5) Figure out a way to do intimacy. Emotional intimacy, physical/sexual intimacy (if that’s important to yall). 6) Spend time with each other, but make sure you’re not forgetting your other friends
