The whole point of a relationship is for companionship and so you don’t have to spend time alone through life, so when your other half leaves, you lose most of that. But, if the two of you have decided to stay together keep the communication alive, send reminders to each other why you fell in love in the first place and why you decided to stay together across the distance.

-Keep in Contact

In today’s modern age keeping in touch is almost too easy. We have cell phones, email, instant messaging and social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace to stay in contact with friends and family across long distances. So saying “I Miss You” can be done multiple types of ways through different devices.

But, don’t overwhelm the other person with 20 “I Miss You” posts on their Facebook page in one day. This will most likely start pushing the other person away as they may start to feel smothered even with you far away, which is the opposite of what you want to do. Keep the “I Miss You” messages to a minimum and talk to each other the same way that you did before you parted.

-Care Package

You can send all of the cute messages and posts that you would like on the Internet and cell phones, but nothing beats getting something through the mail still. For a very special “I Miss You” put together a care package with the other person’s favorite stuff or items that only the two of you know why they are important. You can also send a care package just because or for one of the many holidays during the year.

Cards with printed out pictures of friends and family also say “I Miss You” and the pictures will tell the other person that you understand that you are not the only thing that they may miss since they left.

-Plan a Visit

If you are able to, plan a trip for the person back home to come out and see you. This will give you both something to look forward to and being able to see each other will be a refresher as to why the two of you are still in a relationship. Of course, it could also be a time to realize that the person who you were with before has changed into a different person since you have been apart. So a visit can also be a good time for the two of you to sit down and talk about whether your long distance relationship should continue.
