tips/success stories for long distance relationships?

just got back today from visiting my boyfriend over spring break. first few days after visits are always miserable. just looking to hear something positive.

Feeling miserable at first when you have to be apart from your significant other means that you feel something strongly for each other. Love can be painful sometimes. Positive recommendation—do your best to keep lines of communication open and honest.

@NorthernMom61 Thank you for your comment.

Seconding @NorthernMom61 . Communicate, communicate, communicate! Call him the minute he’s available when the sad feelings get really bad. My bf and I live apart during summers (same college but summer internships in very different places) and talk on the phone for up to an hour or two a day.
