What do you do when you can't see the one you love? ?

Please help! I am in a long distant relationship and we've been dating for over a year now. He is literally the world to me, and I miss him so much! I live in Illinois, and he lives in West Virginia, and I just visited him for the weekend. I just left this past Sunday and I haven't seen him for like 2 days. I am so depressed, and I just cry thinking about him. I won't be able to see him until December and I just won't last that long. What can I do? Should I talk to him? I'm afraid he won't understand. I miss him dearly and want to see him so much! ♥

    Yes tell him you miss him, wish he was still there and u love him etc. He'll reply saying the same things and you'll feel soo much better about the whole situation. The first few weeks of being apart is the hardest, i was cryin constantly for about a month! About 3 months in is the easiest because your used to it by than. Why don't you speak to him about making a visit again. Trust me i've been there, i was in the UK and he was in canada (5000 miles apart), we didn't see each other for 6 months apart from a couple of phone calls and pictures, saw each other for a weeks holiday and than apart (him UK, me pennsylvania). for another 5 months till xmas.

    It's really intimidating at first, but it won't be like that forever. Of course, you will still miss him but you will find ways that keep the two of you close. I don't want to this sound harsh, but you are going to have to learn to become a little more independent. The world hasn't ended just because your boyfriend isn't by your side all the time. Some things you can do are to keep busy, find a hobby, perhaps you work or go to school? This is also a really good chance to get back in touch with some old friends and do things again with your family since you won't be with your boyfriend all the time. Some things you could do to stay close are send him emails, call him, text him, send him letters and pictures and things, so that he knows you are thinking about him often. Of course you should talk to him about it. It is likely that he feels the same way and it will be a good comfort to you to talk to him about it. Always have your next visit in site. Start looking through your calendar and see which days or weekends would be good to visit as soon as you get back from the last one. It is good to have a goal in site. It keeps you sane. You can still do things for your boyfriend too. Send him random cards that remind him of you. Send him care packages with cookies that you baked for him. Send him pictures of yourself and of the things that you are doing back at home. Perhaps he will get the message and send you things too ;) It is invigorating when you feel like you are doing things for him to make the distance easier. I don't know if he is much of a phone talker, but if he is, make sure you have at least a good long talk at least twice a week if not more. "The task ahead of us is never great as the power behind us." So if you really love each other deeply, then you will make it through. Remind yourself that you are lucky to have someone so dear to you for you to miss. I hope some of this helps. :) Good luck!

    Source(s): My boyfriend goes to school in Maryland and I in Texas. We have been going out for almost 2 years of which 1 1/2 of it has been long distance.
  • You should talk to him babe. Seriously, this shouldn't become an issue for you, a year long distance relationship is amazing.

    I was with my ex for a year, we lived some miles apart, and we only saw each other every, 4-5 weeks. But we lasts for a year, it was the best <3

    But, speak to him :) Honestly, if he is the one, he'll listen and understand.

    Good luck hun x
