He says that we will still see each other every weekend still cuz thats all we see each other now as he lives a few hours away! But he wont have a car there and will need to catch the train here and he wont have as much money so i know he will struggle getting here! How can i make sure that we dont drift apart from the pressure of being so far apart?

 Well if you cant see each other do the simple things which mean alot, phone calls, text msg, emails, cam with each other. You just need to show your there for him and that even when your not with him your thinking of him. Also give him a picture of u and him in a nice frame so he can put it by his bed. i had the same problem with my bf when he was at uni we was 2 hours away and he didnt drive etc Its makes the whole seeing them soooo exciting!

From the sounds of things, you’ll both need to make an equal effort, there’s no point you placing all the expectations and pressures on him, that’s not really fair. It will be much better if you can find a way to get to see him every other week or fortnight. That way you’ve got a timetable mapped out and you know you will see each other on those dates so you won’t need to feel so insecure.And don’t be too heavy. You can easily stay connected with phone and email. Finally, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so don’t be looking at this as a bad thing – it could make the bond between the two of you stronger than ever!
