First: the difficulty is normal
Distance doesn't get 'fixed' with endless messages. It gets cared for with clear agreements and small rituals.
The goal isn't to talk all day. The goal is to feel chosen, even with real life happening.
12 tips that actually help
- Set a base schedule (and a flexible one)
- Have a weekly mini date (30-60 min)
- Don't argue over text when emotions are running high
- Trust = agreements + consistency
- Celebrate small things (even from afar)
- Share your day with real photos, not just 'hi'
- Have a plan for the next visit (even if approximate)
- Talk about money and travel calmly
- Set healthy boundaries with social media
- When jealousy comes up: name the emotion, don't accuse
- Have a 'bridge phrase' to reconnect
- Use questions to get out of autopilot
Questions for long-distance couples (for today)
If you want, start with just one question. One good conversation can change your day.

- What fear comes up for you sometimes with the distance, and how can I help?
- What 5-minute daily ritual can we do?
- What gesture of mine gives you calm when you're far away?
