For some personalities, it can be easy to become consumed by your relationship, so much to a point that you forget about your friends and family around you. Long distance relationships can consume a good amount of your time, but don’t lose your connections with other people in the process. Make sure your long distance love life is balanced with your everyday life at home. It’s okay to tell friends “no” every once in a while when they ask you to go out with them if you are planning to spend time with your long distance boyfriend/girlfriend, but don’t say no every time. At the same time, don’t treat your boyfriend/girlfriend as if they are a lower priority than your friends and don’t always choose your friends over him/her.
