5 Ways to Avoid Jealousy and Conflicts in a Long Distance Relationship

Maintaining a relationship with a partner who is living abroad can be a tough task. Long distance relationships are based purely on conversation as a result of which they may encounter conflicts arising due to stress and jealousy time and again. Here are a few ways in which you can avoid conflicts and jealously in a long distance relationship.

1. Send each other lots of pictures and live videos

If you have attended an event, send lots of pictures as soon as you get home. If you are on the beach with few friends, call your partner on Skype and give him a glimpse of yourself with a video chat. The whole point is to keep your partner updated by sending your latest pictures and videos to make him feel a part of your life, despite of being away from you.

2. Keep yourself constantly occupied

Wondering what your partner is doing thousands of miles away can be nerve wracking. Since there is no way for you to find out, best thing is to keep yourself busy so that you don’t think of such things. Don’t keep your mind unoccupied which results in you thinking about your partner’s routine.

3. Stop imagining things and let facts speak for themselves

If your partner hasn’t called for a day or two, it is natural for you to wonder what is happening on his/her side. Instead of weaving your own stories about how your partner must be partying or assuming that your partner might be seeing someone, ask him and allow him to state facts rather than coming up with random and crazy ideas yourself.
