Talk about how you each want to keep in touch, then choose a routine that fits both schedules. Use the ideas below as options to discuss rather than rules for every relationship.
Make calls easier to arrange
Keep both time zones in your calendar. Choose a regular time or propose two times for the next call. Say how you will let the other person know when plans change.
Share ordinary parts of your day
Send a photo with a short explanation, a song you want them to hear or something you would normally tell them at dinner. Ask how much messaging they want during busy days.
Choose a small gift with a reason
Hug This Pillow Until You Can Hug Me carries that complete message. Choose 18 x 18 inch Throw, 20 x 30 inch Standard/Queen or 20 x 40 inch King to match the recipient’s pillow. Add a note about your next planned time together.
Plan visits together
Confirm dates and where you will stay before booking travel. Check whether the visit fits work, study and other plans. A surprise visit needs more thought than a surprise letter.
Review the arrangement
Ask what is working and what you want to change. Discuss any plan to live closer, including the decisions that are still uncertain. A present can be a personal gesture; it cannot replace that conversation.
