Well, 8 weeks ago my long distance boyfriend and I moved in together!
I lived in Chicago and he lived in Boston. We met through friends and we have always been long distance. We have gone a max of 7 weeks without seeing each other and omg its really tough. He was working on his graduate thesis and I was working on a conference with about 4,500 attendees.
I made him a scrapbook of our first 3 visits together. Since then, I have been collecting more stuff to put in it, just haven't had the time. Here are some ideas:
-Order dinner for him from his favorite place and have it delivered.
-Send cards with personal messages in the inside.
-I've overnighted homemade white chocolate chip brownies to him before
-Send a care package, but have a theme to it.
-leave lip-stick/chap stick notes on his mirror.
-Leave a card on his pillow when you leave. Spray your perfume on his pillows. Men commit smell to memories more than females do.
-Monday nights we would always watch "How I met your mother" and we still are.
-Email or text throughout the day. Thats the biggest thing about being in a long distance relationship is always feeling included in the other person's life. And share stories of your own, even if you feel that he might not care about them, he will.
-Planning something to do during your next visit. He and I lived over 1,000 miles away(southwest LOVED us; 2 free round trips in 9 months). It something that will impact both of you during your visit.
Plus, surround yourself with supportive friends and family. This is HUGE. We wouldn't have made it this far if we didn't have wonderful friends and family that kept an open mind of our relationship.
If you need anything, let me know! I know exactly what you guys are going through.
