This is because they are so difficult to manage.

Do not let the looks of it make you think it is simple because it really is not.
However, with the right amount of discipline and effort you will be able to make things work.
If I am not mistaken it is in your interest to make things work so you can get what you want out of your distance relationship.
Absorb the informational long distance tips below to give yourself the advice you need to jump and clear over this hurdle in your relationship.
Always have a plan to meet each other.

• The most important thing to do when you are in a long distance relationship is to have a plan to meet each other.
  
• This will benefit both of you so you can get back up to date on things that are going on in each of your lives when you are not together.
  
• When you are away from your partner for a long period of time you feel lonely a lot.
  Having this planned time to meet each other is a good way to keep the hope and spirit alive within the two of you.
  

Write e-mails and letters to each other frequently.

• This keeps the communication solid between the two of you.
  I know you can call each other a lot too but writing to each other actually is really important too.
  
• Writing shows your partner that you are always thinking about them by actively writing them in your free time.
  
• There is only so much you can do for your partner in a long distance relationship and taking advantage of communicating with them through emails or letters is a great way to keep you up to date on each others lives.
  

Whatever you do take this advice - (Long Distance Relationship) - does not mean that it is alright to not care and take things lightly because your partner is not around.

• Treat your boyfriend or your girlfriend like they are your boyfriend or your girlfriend no matter where they are in the world.
  
• Have fun with your friends but do not forget that you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
  Think about what they would be thinking if they were with you at all times.
  
• Send each other presents on a regular basis.
  This does not mean you need to go spend a small fortune on each other, but it simply means maybe take a picture of the two of you and frame it.
  Then send it to your partner.
