Long distance relationships

I have a boyfriend who I have been dating for just a little over 5 months and for the summer we are trying the long distance relationship thing. Well he only talks to me about once a month on myspace and we talked once on the phone. I love him and do not want to loose him, but I am begining to think that he is not truly into the relationship what should I do?

Long distances are hard on the relationship, and if you can only manage to keep up a conversation every month or so, I'm afraid it looks like it's not for you. Maybe when you get back to gether it will be like before, but for as long as you're apart, it seems your partner isn't capable of mantaining the commitment.

You might want to increase the frequency of your converstation, go for actual speaking (rather than writing) or IMing, but he might feel you don't trust him and use this as an excuse to drifting even further away.

I think the best thing for you is try to let go. If this is the interaction he (and you) are capable of, there is little that can be done. Enjoy the summer, let yourself get to know new people, make new friendships. If by the end of the summer when you meet again all is well between you two - great! if not, at least you didn't spend the whole summer pining for him.

Well I know how you feel because I was in that situation; but I think that you should just ask him how he really feels about you so you won't be hurting inside wondering if he feels the same about you as you do for him...

It's not the mountain we conquer... but ourselves

Long distance relationships can be really tough, but they can also works.  It just depends how dedicated both parties are to keeping the relationship alive.  Between email, the phone, skype, facebook, myspace, etc., there are a lot of ways to be in contact with someone.  However, the effort has to be put in by both parties, to make sure that you both know that the other cares, that you are thinking about one another, and that all you want is that person.  If you are only talking to the other person once a month, it doesn't sound like this effort is being initiated.  I think that maybe a conversation should take place about this, and if things don't change, then it's not worth it.  I hope this helps.  I know it's hard, but it'll be ok.
