8. Avoid jealousy and be trusting. 不要妒嫉,要信任。
One of the easiest ways to destroy a perfectly healthy relationship is to poison it with jealousy and drama. When you start a long distance relationship you must be realistic of the difficulties ahead. It always helps if you go in a relationship with the idea that everyone is innocent and worth of trust until proven otherwise.
嫉妒和過激是殺死健康感情最快速的毒藥。當你決定開始一段異地戀時,你必須認識到前路艱難。當沒有什么能證明事實并不是如此時,你應該認為每個人都天真無邪、值得信任,這么想會有利于你們的關系。
Don't fall in the trap to interrogate your partner every time he/she decides to go out for a drink with people you haven't met or he/she didn't get back to you right away when you called and left a message. Just because you are in a LDR, you lives won't pause. Your partner will naturally have a social life where he/she lives and so should you. Sure it helps to have your eyes open and not be totally naive but being overly suspicious is unhealthy for you and your relationship too.
不要掉入諸如此類的陷阱:比如質問你的另一半為什么要和你不認識的人喝酒,或是為什么對方沒有馬上回你的電話或短信。正是由于你們身處不同的地方,你們的生活在繼續,所以你們彼此當然應該在各自的圈子里有各自的社交生活。你當然需要睜大眼睛,也不能太傻太天真,但過度的猜忌絕對不利于你們的關系。
