14 Signs Your Long Distance Relationship is Working

1. Nothing changed – except for the distance between you.
Although there have been a few adjustments here and there during the first weeks of being apart, one of the signs that your relationship is doing great is that nothing changed except for the fact that you live far from each other.

For instance, you still do the same things that you enjoy when you were together except for the activities that require your partner’s physical presence.

So you’re in an LDR and you’ve never seen each other in a while. You’re starting to grow apart and it’s not only because you are miles away from them but because you’ve met new people and discovered exciting experiences outside of your relationship.

While your current life seems fun and thrilling, you know deep in your heart that it’s just a matter of time before you lose the person you love for good – and you don’t want that because you know that at the end of the day, no matter how much you enjoy your present life, you still feel incomplete and alone.

Most long-distance relationships die and fade away in this process. Sometimes, it’s a slow and painful death and other times, it just catches you by surprise. Regardless of how it happens, both are heartbreaking.

If you’re going through the same thing, you still have time to fix it. Take a look at some of the ways to help save a dying long-distance relationship.
