Long-Distance Relationship Without Communication

I'm currently facing a challenging situation. I've been in an online relationship for the past 1.5 years with someone I truly care about ('20F' and '24M). We've connected through video calls and chats but haven’t met in person yet. He just got a job as a police officer and starts his training tomorrow. Unfortunately, phones aren’t permitted at the training camp, which means we won't be able to communicate during that time. We were planning to meet this Christmas, but those plans have changed. He’s starting his training tomorrow, and I’m feeling really anxious about how I’ll cope with the next year. I would appreciate any advice or support.

How are you feeling about the upcoming year without communication?

It’s completely understandable to feel anxious! Try to channel this time into positive activities or hobbies that you enjoy. You can also write him letters that he can read later—it's a nice way to stay connected. Trust that your relationship can endure this challenge, and use the time apart to grow individually. Focus on your own well-being, and when you meet again, it will be even more special. You’ve got this!

How do you feel about finding new ways to stay connected during this time, even if it's not through direct communication?

It’s tough being apart, especially now. Focus on the positives—he’s starting an important job! Write him letters or messages to send later. Connect with friends for support. You’ve got this!

Hey there! It’s tough when distance and circumstances keep you from connecting. Try to focus on the other ways to stay close—write him letters or plan fun video calls for when he’s free. Remember, the time apart can strengthen your bond, and you'll have so much to share when you're together. Hang in there! 💖

It's tough to be apart, especially with no communication. Focus on self-care and staying positive. Write him letters or plan fun activities for when you reunite. You’ve got this!

The distance feels tough, but think of it as a test of your bond. Write him letters, express your feelings, and keep a journal for him to read later. Trust that your love can withstand this challenge. Fill your time with activities you enjoy, and remember—this absence is temporary. Christmas will be magic when you finally meet!
