writes: Okay so me and my boyfriend just moved in together at the beginning of the month. We've been together for 6 months total. He just went away to be a summer camp counsler for 2 months from June 18th to August 12th in Maine which is REALLY far from NYC where I currently am!I really didn't want him to go but he had already signed a contract with the Camp before we moved in. He's only been away for 2 days and I'm going crazy. I miss him so much its unbearable. We are best friends and I just feel so lonely. I know that the key to Long distance is communication but the problem is he is not allowed to use his cell phone for most of the day and when he is available to talk I am at work and usually don't get done till 1am when he is already is asleep. He only has chances in the morning to call me which wakes me up and I get all cranky because of course I wanna talk but I've only slept for 4 hours only to go back to work. When I spoke to him today briefly while he said that after he was done with Camp he was going to maybe go home with a fellow coworker and hang out at Martha's Vineyard where the coworker is from. I was so upset because I will be waiting for him for 2 months and he is extending the wait to longer without thinking about how I would feel and its not like I was invited. I asked him to come back and just take a mini vacation with me instead just the two of us so we could re connect and he didnt really care for the idea saying he hates Florida etc... I don't know what to do I'm really frustrated and i miss him. We couldn't even finish speaking because his cell phone cut off and his battery died. I was so angry that I sent him two text messages basically breaking it off...meanwhile I am living in our apt together. I know I don't wanna break up I love him and I know he loves me but can a relationship work 500 miles away from each other for 2 months with barely any communication???? HELP!
