We keep in touch with each other on a regular basis, calling and visiting each other. I feel that the distance between us will cause our relationship to end. We have been seeing each other for a year and a half. Dear Miles away, As Alice looks into her crystal ball, she sees that there is another way to think about your situation. Your distance could be considered a blessing in disguise, allowing you to come to know your friend in many ways that close proximity could stifle.
Proximity can breed taking for granted the opportunity to talk at any time.
Distance, combined with telephone calls and writing, electronically or through snail-mail, can foster an enviable intimacy which results from learning about another's qualities, values, ways of thinking, sensitivities, dreams, and aspirations. This type of intimacy can make your coming together much more special. So, Alice is suggesting that you not run away from your long-distance relationship, but nurture and savor it. It is important for you and your partner to talk about what you're feeling, and what your concerns are. If being together on a daily basis is what both of you want, then you can begin to strategize ways to make this happen.
