Got it. Thanks for filling me in.
Long distance relationships are not for everyone. They’re difficult and they require special patience and flexibility that in town relationships don’t. Because you only dated for six months before your boyfriend moved away for at least a year on business, it sounds like your commitment level is negotiable. There’s not a big commitment from him and if he’s only going to see you every two or three months, that means basically six times a year at most. 😕 On the other hand, absence can make the heart grow fonder, and he may realize with this distance how much he appreciates and wants you.
But, you have to also put yourself in his shoes. He’s going to get lonely. He’s going to want sex. How are you going to handle things if he sees women and doesn’t tell you because they’re just filling his need for sex and/or companionship, and doesn’t want to hurt your feelings or jeopardize the relationship he has with you? And here’s another question you need to answer: What should he do if he’s lonely and wants companionship and sex during the year and a half you’re apart, but seeing each other every two months? (He may be thinking the same thing about you, too.)
You can decide you’re not cut out for this long distance thing. You can decide that out of sight out of mind is the way things should go so you can enjoy your time together. You can decide that this relationship is strong and promising enough to go the distance or you can decide this isn’t the guy you signed up to date. You have a lot of options, and this is an opportunity for you to reconsider long distance with this guy.
