Why is this happening and why more and more people are in a long-distance relationship with their partners?

There are 5 ways by which you can ensure that your long distance relationship works out well for you:
1. Talk To Each Other But Don’t Overdo By Calling Several Times A Day
Being possessive about your partner is a subjective feeling, depending on how your partner treats it. However, being extra possessive and calling your love every few hours to make sure they are doing ok is something which should be avoided.
In a long distance relationship, it is advised to be in touch with each other over phones, video calls, and text messages on a daily. But if you go overboard with it and start calling him/her every couple of hours, you are essentially killing the actual flavor of a long distance relationship.
2. Long Distance Relationships Require Honesty of The Ultimate Level
You need to be honest about everything to your partner. Since you guys can not see each other and talk to each other in person, it is imperative that being honest is of utmost importance here.
In a long distance relationship, it is very easy to not to talk about the things you are scared of and only to talk about things you’re comfortable with. This is wrong is harmful on so many different levels.
Just imagine how much harm it can cause to your relationship if both of you don’t get to know the real side of each other over several months and years?
3. Get Creative And Talk About New Things
Talking over the phone can get boring and like a routine in a long distance relationship. This is something which I personally have experience with. After few minutes of the call, you don’t really know what to talk about. This is where you should show some creativity and talk about new things like sports, world news, politics, and innovations. You’ll have many things to talk about and both of yours general knowledge will also take a huge leap.
You can also talk to them about how grateful you are because of them being in your life. This will not only give you both something to talk about but also increase the love and affection they have for you.
4. Talk Dirty, Play Enticing Games – Rock Your Long Distance Relationship

In a long distance relationship, phone sex is something very important to keep it spicy and hot. Sexual tension is a good tension to have and it is really important to release this tension on a regular basis. You won’t be getting any sex in long distance relationship but try and get as much of virtual sex as possible. Talk dirty with your partner, play strip tease over skype (be careful in this one, make sure that your systems are fully secured).
You can even sex chat over WhatsApp or other messaging services. Playing these enticing games will definitely help you to make each other feel wanted. And when you guys finally meet each other, the dirt talks will act as a build up for mind-blowing real sex.
5. Send Gifts, And Schedule Visitations To Meet Them Once in A While
A relationship requires at least two people who are in love. But how long will the love last if both of the people do not get to meet each other for months and years? I know this is how a long distance relationship got its name but my question is, is it really necessary to treat a long distance relationship on its face value? Why can’t we improvise a little and make visitations to each other’s cities alternatively on a scheduled basis?
You should also send personalized gifts to each other in order to show them how much you care for them and how badly you miss them.
