What are some rules to set up in a long distance relationship?

[Cheulyn]

Recently me and my couple had a misunderstanding and he wants to set some rules to prevent from misunderstandings between us, but I really don't want to make rules but he insists we need some, so I need help because he want me to say at least two, I order that we can make our relationship stronger.

For me rule #1 with long distance relationship is not to get into long distance relationships. But to address your question I will list out to must have rule for me to even think about it.

Rule #1

I would need to see this person in real life at least one weekend a month. She and I could alternate months, where she would come to me one month and the next month, I would come to her.

Rule #2

No arguments in text. If you get upset or there is a miss understanding or some confusion, then stop the texting and set a time to call and take to each other on the phone.

Rule #3

Respect my boundaries!!! Set boundaries and honor them!!! Like Rule #1 & 2 listed above those are boundaries and they need t be respected!

Oh crap, you're 16. I didn't realize that. Disregard my response you're 16 you have no business having a long-distance relationship... they are dangerous and lots of stalker out there on the internet that are looking to take advantage of you. Even if you know this person in real life, don't trust someone you can't meet weekly or see daily. At your age I saw all the people I was dating in real life every day, at school or in the neighborhood... you are too young for this type of relationship you can do better for yourself.

That might not be a bad idea. I dated somebody who put very little effort into the relationship. If I didn't do everything it wouldn;t hsve lasted 4 years. I probsbly should have broke up with her after 4 months because it never got any better.

Surely you will find someone better!

I was thinking what to say to your post
Than I saw your age is 16.
That’s whatever I know it’s hard but forget him.. focus maybe on your goals and future plans. It’s ok don’t worry you can find real love at 18,,19,,20,,21,22,,, etc etc life is LONG no need to rush and feel hurt for an hormonal teenage boy.
As for now acts like a princess actually an ICE princess lol if you see him walking near by you don’t even look at him if possible change your road. Also don’t even think of messaging him anymore.
He knows about you right if he likes you he will find a way to contact you.

It might be best to stay as friends at distance at such a young age. There is no reason to tie yourself down. You should be socializing with other people your age. Having fun. I wouldn’t want someone trying to attach rules to me either.

No cheating

Try and talk at least once a day

long term relationships are for losers who like to settle. if you truly wanted to be together, you wouldn't be long distancing.

Call each other everyday before going to bed. Agree to meet every two weeks/month/whatever works for you.

honestly i think it'd be best if you two just went your separate ways, sorry, that's the best advice i can give you.
