writes:Morning peeps.Just looking for some uplifting advice really.I'm in a long distance relationship and have been for the past 4 years. We see eachother every few months which is better than it used to be as we used to see eachother twice a year! Now what I'm struggling with is the fact that when he's been here for 2 weeks and then goes away for a week or 2 I get very low and teary. Now I do have a job and friends but I can't expect them to want to hang out with me every weekend or do things after work all the time- ie cinema/ dinner etc.... So I try to keep myself busy and I do have hobbies out of work but it's just not the same and because I try to keep myself busy all the time I get so tired and then can't concentrate at work. So it's a vicious cycle, I try to relax and not do much but dwell on the fact he isn't here. I throw myself in to work and activities and end up shattered.Anyone offer any advice???Thanks x

I just went through a long distance relationship breakup and it makes me glad to no it is possible, i just wish my ex couldve seen that before calling it quits.
But i know how hard it is to feel lonely without your partner and friends to not be able to help you. I just think you have to look forward to the next time you will see him and that will help you. I also found that thinking of good memories and getting excited to make more is another helpful way.
I really hope this helps and you have a great long lasting relationship!

Unfortunately, this is just the way of long distance relationships. They are miserable unfulfilling things.
I am never against long distance if the person is worth it but there HAS to be light at the end of the tunnel.
After a certain amount of time, one of you has to move so you can be together.
You need to work out a way to be a real couple or ask yourself how much longer you can keep this up.
Good Luck!! xx
