6. Avoid the temptation to be controlling. 忘卻完全控制對方的邪念。
People have free will and no one can or should control another person. As long as you are both interested in being in the relationship, you will stick with it and distance will not make a difference.
人生來平等,沒有人可以或是應該被其他的人控制。既然你們決定選擇這段異地戀情,就要接受這個事實,何況這和異地也沒有必然的聯系。
As soon as one of you decides the other is not a good match--or someone else is a better match--your relationship ends, whether you live 3000 miles apart, two streets over, or share the same bed with your wedding picture on the wall. You are going to have to trust each other completely if this relationship is going to work.
如果一方覺得和另一方不是很合得來,或是一方有了更好的對象,那么不論你們是相隔3000英尺還是兩條大街,再或是睡一張床上而墻面上還掛著你們的婚紗照,你們的關系都玩完了。而只要你們的關系還在繼續,那就要完全地相信對方。
