Hey all, I'm new to this site and have never really posted on an online forum before but I don't know who else to turn to.
My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and half, and he recently moved about 200 miles away for work. Before he moved we were pretty much inseparable, hardly ever spending any days and nights apart. I always said I would never do a long-distance relationship, but I love him so much that I wouldn't be able to go on wondering "what if," so I'm giving it a shot.
We see each other frequently (normally over the weekends, 2 weeks at most...I know, I'm lucky) and talk daily, but I am just so unhappy and feel so alone the majority of the time. When we say goodbye when we do see each other, I feel like my heart is breaking every single time and cry for hours after. I often need to take sleeping pills or medicine so that I am able to sleep at night. He seems to be dealing with the distance like it's no big deal, which makes me feel like he just doesn't care.
I guess I'm just pseudo-venting at this point, but any tips or pointers to make this not hurt as much as it does would be much appreciated.
