It sucks! You had plans for the big day with your significant other and circumstances are once again forcing you to fly solo because meeting up at this time is not possible.
I know how much it hurts because I have personally done the long distance thing for years now.
I’ve already covered how to celebrate Valentine’s day if you’re ldr and able to spend time together. I’ve also covered how to have a cosy valentine’s day in.
This post I want to talk about some of those pesky emotions you may be going through because you’re unable to spend time with your loved one.
Let’s start with loneliness.
Again it sucks! Being left alone is horrible in a ldr. If your relationship is healthy you should be able to let your partner have their life too so long as you are part of their world.
That said, sometimes letting them do their thing leaves you lonely.
Just know, you are not alone in the world even if it feels like it. Knowing that and focusing on your own interests for the time you are alone is key to battling loneliness.
Be kind to yourself , do the things you enjoy and know your partner will be in touch again and it will be all the sweeter for having been away from each other.
Next let’s deal with that anxiety. Yes you’re partner is busy but they still care about you. They probably are not cheating on you and in fact they are probably missing you just as much.
Again, be kind to yourself. The pain of distance is very real but remind yourself it’s worth it if you both truly care about each other.
Focus on things you can share with your partner later. Things you can talk about like that movie you wanted to see or that new album you just have to share with your partner.
I know it’s hard but keeping yourself occupied really will help with the pain.
Oh and when you need to cry, just do it in secret. People around you may not understand the challenges of ldr.
Know that there are millions of couples going through exactly the same thing and above all , the distance won’t last forever.
