Frequently Asked Questions
How do you apologize to a long-distance boyfriend?
Start with a sincere text taking accountability for your actions without making excuses about the distance. Then, ask for a phone or video call so you can apologize 'face-to-face'. Texting can lead to more misunderstandings during fights.
What shouldn't I do when apologizing long-distance?
Don't blame the distance for your actions, and don't give the silent treatment. In an LDR, communication is all you have. Ignoring him or making excuses will only push him further away.
How can I make up for a fight long-distance?
After apologizing, try sending a small surprise like ordering his favorite takeout to his apartment, sending a sweet care package, or leaving a cute drawing on his phone using a widget app like Doodles.
