How to survive in a long distance relationship? I can only see my girlfriend every 3-4 months due to work commitment.

My girlfriend and I are a 3 hour fight away. This is my first LDR. Any tips to maintain a healthy long distance relationship?

I'd say communication would be huge. Keep the conversations going. Talk to each other as often as you can.

I couldn't agree more Good communication is the foundation of every strong relationship @Sapio

The 3C's is what's most important in any successful relationship. Communication, Commitment, and Compromise.
LDR's take a lot of work and you need lots of patience, but they can be very rewarding and be very successful.
My longest LDR lasted 3 years, then we were married and still are. That was 13 years ago.

talk to each other lots. When opportunity presents itself to see each other take it. Stay involved in each other's lives

@Justafantasy Thanks so much for your brilliant advice - Yes, we have been trying to stay involved in each other's lives on everyday basis.

Talk as often as you can. visit whenever possible and in between, try camming! Anything to just be "together" whatever it takes. i've done it before. My person lives hours away from me and i'd walk to him if i had to lol. through flames if need be, idc

@Tinkerxbell You're very welcome! If you don't have discord or zoom maybe try those. Discord is free and you can game together and all that. share screens so you can watch movies and stuff. there's also a site called "hyperbeam" where you can create a room to watch stuff together as well ^-^
