How do I stop missing him so much?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year, he is in the military and in the course of that year he had to leave for about five months to do basic training and A.I.T. During that time he was only able to write me once a week and call rarely. I know my story is not like yours, but it is similar in the way that we both of had to deal with being apart from people we love. Fortunately for you, you still have ways to communicate you can Skype, call or IM. When you do this be sure to express that you care about him and ask about his condition. You can make him and get-well care package which might make you feel better and more proactive about the situation. If he has any friend or family in the area, you might want to ask and see if they are able to help him out until he gets better. You know there is a end date to which you finally will be able to see him again, so keep telling yourself that long distance is not forever.
