如果距离妨碍你和恋人爱情的发展，VideoJug来帮你。遵循我们的简单建议，无论你们身在何方，距离不再是问题，爱情依然甜蜜蜜。

Step 1: Talk it through

1.倾心谈话

You need to discuss your expectations of the relationship once you are apart, and set clear parameters. Are you going to be completely monogamous? Are you allowed to fool around?

你们要讨论一下分别后你们对这段恋情的预期，并设立明确的范围。你能完全做到对另一半死心塌地，还是可以出去鬼混？

There is a painful break-up on the horizon if one of you is waiting loyally at home while the other thinks out of sight is out of mind.

如果一方忠诚地等待，另一方却认为眼不见心不烦，那么这段恋情离结束已经不远了。

Step 2: Communicate

2.沟通

The key to any relationship, but particularly crucial to long distance ones, is communication. As well as phonecalls there are so many ways to let your partner know you're thinking about them: send emails, texts, e-cards, love letters, flowers,scented clothes, or even saucy photos.

任何一段感情，尤其是异地恋的关键就是沟通。除了打电话之外还有很多方法让你的恋人知道你想他（她）：发送邮件，发短信，电子贺卡，情书，鲜花，有香味的服装，甚至是你的性感玉照。

TOP TIP 1: Don't send saucy photos of yourself in digital form- if your relationship crashes and burns, then they might end up in the public domain....

小贴士一：不要以数码的形式发送你的性感玉照——万一你们的恋情结束，你这些照片可能会被公开……

TOP TIP 2: Instant messaging is free and convenient. But remember, if you're chatting online and you can't see your partner's facial expression, even your in-jokes can fall flat. "Big nose" can sound cutesy and sweet when you are cuddled up to together, but has a different feel when written down.

小贴士二：即时讯息是免费的，而且很方便。但是要记住，如果你们在网上聊天，你看不到对方的面部表情，即使你们双方能够心领神会的笑话也起不到作用。当你们依偎在一起的时候，“大鼻子”听上去可能非常甜蜜，但是写出来却是完全不同的感觉。

Step 3: Keep busy

3.保持忙碌

Problems may arise if one of you is busier than the other, particularly if you parted because of a new college course or job.If you feel isolated and jealous of your partner's new life, you should do all you can to fill up the time you would have spent with your partner. Meet up with old friends, throw yourself into a new hobby, and keep up your mutual interests. The alternative is this again....

如果其中一个人比另外一个人忙，你们的恋情也容易出现问题，尤其如果两人是因为工作而分隔两地的。如果你感到孤独，而且为对方的心生活感到嫉妒，你应该努力填补原本与恋人一起度过的时光。与老朋友会面，养成新的爱好，保持你们共同的兴趣。

Step 4: The bright side

4.好的一面

If you're finding things difficult, take heart. You'll never have the dilemma of having to choose between seeing your partner and watching TV/ going to the football/ or washing your hair. You have freedom without the social stigma of being single, and the associated pressure of friends trying to set you up with someone. And if you're feeling frustrated in the bedroom,remember you've always got your phone.

如果你感到很难熬的话，鼓励自己振作起来。你不会再面临是去约会，还是看电视，踢足球，洗头发的艰难选择。你可以享受自由，却不必承担单身的污名，也不必承受朋友们试图撮合你和某个人的尴尬局面。如果你一个人在卧室里感到沮丧，记得你还有电话。

Step 5: The big reunion

5.大团圆

The best thing about a long distance relationship is the dirty weekends you can have when you meet up again. Don't just wait for them to come home - go and visit them at their new place, or find romantic places to meet in the middle. If you've made the effort when you're apart, your time back together should go with a bang.

异地恋情最令人神往的就是周末的团聚。不要傻傻地等着他们回家——你也可以到他们的新地方探望他们，或者找一个浪漫的场所。如果你们分隔两地的时候做出了努力，你们重新团聚的日子指日可待。
