miss_jaclynrae Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 With the upcoming departure of my mister, we have been talking about what it is going to be like while he is away. For those of you in LDRs, do you have any cute couple things you do to help manage? We play Uno all the time, so we joined a game website so we can skype and still play. For me, I love being crafty, so something I am super looking forward to making are care packages. I am super stoked about holidays, all the cute things I will get to do. I would love to hear what YOU and your SO do!
NJtoDC Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I wish I could get my BF to play games online! I've enjoyed connecting over Word with Friends and Song Pop in the past. The things that make me feel most content and comfortable during times away from my boyfriend are knowing ahead of time when we will be back together again and we have a rather consistent communication routine during the week.
Sunnydark Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 When we were LDR we didn't really do many couple things online. We had a pretty set schedule: Went to work/school, come home, get on skype and leave it running for the rest of the damn night into the morning. :oWe would talk, and do little things online, share links, etc, but nothing consistent. Most of the time we were doing our own thing: I would clean, watch a movie, play with our cat, read, and he was usually studying. We started playing WoW together, but that was not until after we moved in with each other. We did go on a month long Plants vs. Zombies kick. I would recommend that for couples, lol. But during the distance we usually went about our daily routine. I'm not really the type of person who feels that I need to be actively engaged in conversation when skyping with someone. For me, it is more of feeling their presence there. Even now, when I skype with my mom we will talk a bit and then she gets up and I spend the rest of the conversation watching her clean the kitchen and cook. Right now we skype almost every night with my SO's best friend from childhood and his fiance. They moved across the country and are both lonely. We do play games with them, and are more actively involved in conversation. That's adorable that you leave skype running while going about your separate lives! I think me and my bf need to try that. Another fun game is tetris, via tetrisfriends.com. Me and my bf encourage eachother to text pics throughout the day. Whether it be a pic of me, something I made or saw, it just lets him know what I'm up to, and he appreciates it. 1

I think that an important part of it is acting as though you two are together physically even though you are not. 1
Author miss_jaclynrae Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks for the replies! Seriously cute stuff!! I would love to leave skype on all day, but sadly, with the time difference and our busy schedules, it won't be so easy. I love that idea though, it really is adorable. I plan on doing a boudoir shoot for his birthday, sort of a gift for myself too since I will hopefully be at my goal weight by then! I think anytime I see his face I will be happy.
