Long-distance relationships canbe really tough, but they certainly aren’t impossible.

According to a recent study, the trick is understanding the situation you’re in together.

It’s more about the discrepancy between your expectations for relationships and the reality of the current situation.

Essentially, it came down to good communication and being on the same page as your partner.

You should also both expect to have lives outside of the relationship.

It keeps you both busy so you’re not dwelling on the fact that you’re apart.

Keep both of your expectations on the same level and you’ll have a better chance of making it.
