How to cope with Silent Treatment Emotional Abuse in Relationships. Part 1:

Year in, year out I could not understand why my husband and I could not seem to go more than a few months without an extended episode of not speaking (almost always over some trivial non-consequential matter). His silent treatment left me feeling depressed, bewildered and tearful to say the least, but I finally found a way to turn things around and diminish this pattern - and I am so MUCH happier for it. The changes I made, and my current reflections, are related in this series of hubs for the consideration of anyone who can relate.

How to Carry On a Long Distance Relationship Online

With the ready availability and relative cheapness of technology today, you might argue that being in a long-distance relationship is easier now than it ever has been before. The internet is a wonderful tool that can be used to make long-distance relationships both easier and more fulfilling and in this Hub I hope to give you some tips that will help you make the most of it.

Most of the advice in this Hub is aimed at someone who has found themselves in a long-distance relationship, for whatever the reason may be, after being in a relationship with their partner for some time and getting to know them well. If that is not the case for you, please remember to stay safe online, for example by not giving out private details or agreeing to meet a stranger in a secluded place. I will go into more details about things you could to keep yourself safe at the end of this Hub.

Although it can be expensive, phoning your partner might be the easiest way if you need to get hold of them in a hurry.

Stay in Contact

As with any relationship, staying in contact is an absolute must. Although this might seem more difficult in a long-distance relationship, it's not really as long as you've both got a good internet connection. The internet is such a great and reliable tool that, although it's obviously not going to be the same as living close to your partner, you might actually feel that you don't live that far away at all. What with Skype, social networking sites and e-mail you'll probably find that you don't miss out on anything at all in your partner's life and when you do get together you spend it doing everyday things rather than catching up on all of the things you've missed.

The wonderful thing about e-mails is that you can send them whenever you want and the other will get them when they check their e-mail account - they don't have to be online at the same as you, which is often the problem with Skype. In any long-distance relationship, time differences will likely be something that you have to contend with, and if you live particularly far away from your partner you might find yourself relying on e-mails rather than Skype.
