Because of their large time difference, they don’t have the luxury to talk to each other whenever they want. To work around that, they look at their schedules at the beginning of the week and actually plan times that they’ll talk! They also share their Google Calendars with each other, so they can see the times that the other person is free.
On top of that, they text each other updates about their day and include pictures of what they’re doing… (Even if the other person is sleeping!) This way, when they wake up, they know what happened during the other person’s day!
Even though their time difference is hard to work with, they both agree that the most difficult part of being in an LDR is not being able to physically be there for the other person when they’re feeling sad. Not being able to hug them is insanely tough…
