My last relationship was an LDR across the country, and we only saw eachother for a few days every 4-6 months... so no sympathy for only going a week and a half! This is good for you, though... sounds like you may be a bit needy... which is not a bad thing, just this will toughen you up a bit so you are ready for like REAL distance and separation. It is very hard, but if you are really into him, you guys will pull through. With ldrs, everything centers around whe you CAN be together, so yes, talk alot when you're apart, but make the most of time together as well. Just be sure to be completely outright and honest about your feelings and needs with him.
