I've posted on this once last summer asking for advice about what to do about being in love before embarking to college. And so far, I'm happy to say I've made my relationship last. My love only seems to grow stronger and I've noticed that my boyfriend and I both tend to appreciate the little time we do have with each other more. I've realized his dedication and willingness to make every effort to come and see me whenever possible and it makes me love him even more realizing that we really do have trust and commitment.
But there is one factor of being in a long-distance relationship that I need some advice on. Because I love him so much, almost everyday becomes difficult, especially when I'm alone for long periods of time. This is not easy to escape because I happen to be an Art Major. He is as well at his school so even art makes me think of him. My feelings of missing him so much even seem to make me physically sick at times and weaker. I've gotten better at adjusting to the distance but these instances still cause me pain on occasion.
I was wondering if anyone could offer suggestions on how to cope with missing someone you can't see very often--maybe only once a month at best. Should I look for things to keep my mind of him or cope in some other way? I have no idea and am willing to try almost anything.
