Long distance relationship

Long-distance relationships have their own set of challenges. I am in a long-distance relationship(we meet once in maybe 5-6 months). I tend to overthink a lot and tend to overanalyze simple situations. It looks trivial later on when I am back to my rational self, however, at that point in time, they seem mammoth issues that need to be resolved immediately. I think I am not really the supportive girlfriend I want to be. Sometimes, I just lose my head. Whenever I start discussing the issues that are bothering me, sometimes it ends up in a big fight. Other times, he is willing to listen and make amends. I don't know what's wrong during those times when it ends up in a big fight. Maybe because we discuss it in WhatsApp over text. Had it been in person, it might not have been the same. I really love him and I don't want to fight. But, sometimes, some issues that appear trivial digress my thought process and I get immensely bothered by it and end up bringing that up. Maybe the way I present is wrong.
How do you have discussions without fighting/ silent treatment/cold war in your relationship? Do you sometimes get bothered by trivial incidents? Did you ever have a big fight with your partner? How did you reconcile?

Discussions over text can make a discussion a fight quickly. Try to be either in person or facetime so you can at least have some facial and audio context.
Long distance can work for some people and doesn't for other people.
Do you know how long you'll be long distance?

What God made me realize is that, there is no perfect relationship, but there is nothing or no one can help a couple to stay in a relationship but trusting God -- knowing that He is alone can make each other a both suitable partner and a faithful one even they are far apart.

K have never had a girlfriend even in my college days.As a college student I found one of the girls in my group interested to develop friendship with me.She was very beautiful and;honestly speaking;I was not unwilling.But I was very shy those days.My friends would often tease me and I kept avoiding her.Time went on.We both cleared the exam.She got married.And then one day she called me.
I'm also married now.I have never had any clash or argument with my wife.We both love each other.I have no experience of long distance relationship.
