I need some advice please guys!
So I'm by no means new to this forum, so as a bit of a background: My bf has been waiting to go to Singapore since September of *last* year! So there's been a lot of stress with waiting. I knew when he did go it would be short notice, it's just the way he is, and sure enough I got about 10days from finding out he was going and flights being booked until today when he's just left.
It's been horrible, I've had crying spells for about a week straight, ive not known what to do with myself half the time. We did live together (I'm moving out of the room now he's gone) so I've been there for all or the packing and everything, I think it's made it much harder as we had very interlinked lives but I'm glad we had the time together. I'm going to start writing blogs so I won't go into too much detail here to save you some time reading.
Anyway as I said he's just left, we both cried and didn't want to let go. Frankly it was one of the worst feelings ive felt in a long time. But on the positive side- obviously we promised to keep in contact lots and were going to try and keep us going LD as we're pretty good CD (year and a half almost).
So from experienced LD'ers and those maybe in the same situation as me right now. What are your top tips for starting out on the right path to a successful LDR?? Id really like to hear any advice you've got to offer! I'm a really busy person (I do something after work everyday of the week and have most weekends full) so I can keep busy no problem. What else do you suggest or do you think you did wrong at the beginning? Or any general advice?
