My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. We lived together for one year, and for the past two years we’ve been in a long-distance relationship because he works on a ship and only gets vacation once a year for two months. Our setup is okay, we trust each other, but sometimes I can’t help missing him so much that I think about asking him to come home and find another job that wouldn’t require him to be far away from me. On the other hand, I also understand that he chose that kind of work because it allows him to save more for our future.
Right now, I want to learn how to make a long-distance relationship work. What should I do whenever I miss him?
