I've been with my boyfriend for 28 months on the 5th. I love him. I swear I do. I am currently away at college. I try to come home at least every other weekend to spend time with him. Everything is great when I do that.
But then, during the week, when I am hours away and all I have of him is a few pictures and the sound of his voice on the phone, I go crazy. I feel like I need to see him or everything just goes bad. I get strange thoughts in my head and feeling like he doesn't love me or I take the frustrations of college out on our relationship. I know he understands what I am going through, but I don't know what to do because I don't want to upset him just because I'm freaking myself out.
How can I cope without seeing him? How do I prevent myself from going crazy and thinking something is wrong with our relationship just because I cannot see him?
I did distance for 2 years. 36 months and some change. We were together, we were apart for that time, then back living together, because her parents required her to move back if they were to continue paying for her school. I could only see her once a month.
We both got through it telling ourselves that it would be worth it.
Sadly, the ending to my story is that after living together another 5 months, we broke up. But thats because she hit some kind of wall where she stopped being able to talk to me and the relationship disintegrated. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

Use the weekends you can get back to him as a motivation to do well in your classes, take it all with a positive perception and be overjoyed when you see him again.
