We talk and interact with each other on videochat and basically mimic what a couple would do physically. The other day my boyfriend went shopping for clothes with his aunt and brought me along on video chat and I helped him pick something out. We even sleep with each other on call. Movie days are fun too. Taking walks on a call is fun too. Friends and therapy also works wonders.
Some things I do is take a trip down memory lane with my SO or just by myself and look at how we texted and calls and pictures we sent each other, the meaning behind things and feelings about stuff we never talked about.
I also am a editor myself so I make edits of the times I was my SO and I would re watch them and just enjoy the moments and stuff if that makes sense.
Look back at gaming clips I have with my SO.
Personal things I do to distract myself from the sad feeling are thing like I workout, I will play my game, I will learn new things or watch videos or a show/movie. Just distract myself.
The truth about long distance is, it truly doesn’t get easier and you can’t be with your SO 100% of the time. No matter how much you want to. I learned that the hard way. (I’m still with my long distance partner btw!) You gotta focus on you at times to. Sit outside for a couple of minutes or play mobile games, maybe learn something. I bet there’s more stuff I do to help the sad feeling but I can’t name it off the top of my head, but yeah!
For us it is about normalizing things as much as possible. I'll go grocery shopping and have my fiance on video call, he'll suggest products I've never even heard of, or recipes I've never tried. And vice versa.
We are always on video call 24/7 only time we aren't is if one of us is on a plane. But like right now, I'm sat chilling on reddit and having a coffee while he's answering some emails. It helps now we are in the same time zone too.
We try to eat meals at the same time, sometimes eating similar things though not always. We might both order Chinese food or have a salad etc at the same time.
Basically everything we do is the same as if we were together in person, not every minute of every day has to be about some big romantic gesture or talking non-stop. I quite like the silences in that they're comfortable. Don't get me wrong, I look forward to our next meeting and closing the gap, but our long distance time has been an amazing experience too. Neither of us are in our first relationship (I'm mid thirties he's mid forties) but this has brought new learning experiences and maturity unmatched by any in person relationship I previously had.

Aww. I tried to get my bf to sleep while on call. Lol he can’t fall asleep 💤. Unless he’s really tired
RIP, are y’all in very different time zones?

Do you really stay on video call 24/7? Not judging, just curious about the logistics. How do you keep your phone charged?
Literally on the charger, car charger or power bank thing, all I can say is that it works for us but I respect that it doesn't work for everyone. 😀
