    Hi Matty! I know exactly what you’re going through. My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years now (6 in September), and just last year, he decided to go to Florida for school. I live and Virginia and to go to him is either a 12-hour drive or a 2-hour flight. It was really hard not having him around during the first few weeks and I miss him everyday. We both have to wait 6 months before we’re together again, and I’ve been counting the days since then. I hate not being able to see him with my own eyes rather than on Skype. I hate not being able to hear his voice with my own ears rather than texting and calling each other. And of course, there are days when I question what he’s been up to (aka if he’s been with any other girl), and we argue over things that we cannot easily resolve because of the distance between us. In the end, however, it’s all about the love you feel towards your significant other. Our relationship has gotten a lot stronger because of how we decided to communicate (which is everyday). I was able to learn how to trust him more and more, and he is the same with me. Not only that, I was able to look at myself as my own person. Being in a long distance relationship gave me the ability to reflect on myself, outside the relationship. And it’s also fun doing the care packages with him! Don’t listen to other people when they say that long distance relationships never work, those people are just crabapples. They do work, as long as you and your significant other find a way to make it work. Don’t force it, just let things happen on its own. If you really love her, you will always find a way to keep the relationship you have with her. Trust her and stay communicated. The anxiety will never go away, just hang on to the love you have for her. Stay strong, and just be happy that you have her in your life. I hope this helps and good luck!
