My friend got marry last week but it seems that she is having a long distance relationship after marriage. Her husband went to the other country 2 days after the marriage. The reason was urgent and he would be back after 1 year. What do you think would be the best thing to do so that my friend won't be lonely most of the time?

This is a very hard situation, but it is manageable. The couple must do their best to stay in touch, talk on the phone & email as often as they can. If it is at all possible for her to go to him, at least for a short visit, she should try it. Things like that do happen, but good committed couples pull through.

I think in this day and age it is very easy to stay in touch.

Would it not be possible for your friend to visit her husband abroad from time to time? You also have to have a huge amount of trust in the relationship, and lots and lost of communication, either by telephone, internet etc.

Actually my friend plans to visit, however she have a work here. Well, of course they still communicate but its only once a week. Do you think her husband wouldn't look for a new partner? Sometimes she had a fair that her husband will look for another girl abroad.

Make sure that she have a constant communication with her husband. In the meantime, she could spend time with her family and friends. Enjoy being single for one year. Does she have plans to visit him there?

Does your friend have doubts with her husband? I think that would do no good to her. She have to trust her husband. In my opinion, he wouldn't look for other women there. To visit him is a good idea.

I would just be there to talk to your friend when she needs you. It must be hard for her to have her husband so far away so shortly after being married. If it was meant to be, then in 1 yr when he comes back, they will have a very strong relationship.

Well, while this unfortunately does happen, a lot depends of what kind of a man she has married. Does she have reasons to doubt him? Has he always been the cheating kind? If not, she should have faith in him. Things can go bad, but unless he gave her a good reason to distrust him, she shouldn't distrust.

this is really a hard situation. but trust and constant communication would make it easier to survive. but if they don't have a child yet, why not follow the husband in his place? so they can live together.

Gosh!! What a terrible time to have to leave!! That's really sad. I think it will be a major strain on their relationship, but if it's meant to be then it will all work out. I'm sure this will be the biggest challenge they'll face

There could be visa issues.

My best wishes for your friend.

Having said that, something doesn't sound right. does your friend
know this guy for a long time? Is his reason genuine for leaving her
to go abroad?
