Hi Kylie,

This sounds like a very unsure time for you right now, especially since you haven’t talked to your partner about the status of your relationship.

You could make a point of biting the bullet and talking him to him about this. If you don't you will likely be left wondering if you should move on or maintain this relationship.

Many couples cope with the difficulties that long distance relationships bring, so if you love each other and make each other happy- then with some patience and effort you could make this work.

Avoiding the issue will only take you so far, but at some point you probably need to talk about it.

There are many things you can do to keep the relationship going while you are apart. Skyping, texting, calling, video chat, letters, emails. There are lots of means of communication at your disposal- you could agree on a time that suits you both to interact with one another.

Perhaps try not to focus on how much you are missing each other at the time, but when you will be seeing each other again- this will hopefully help you to stay positive when you both have the goal of spending some time in physically each other’s company. If you spend the entire time talking about how much you are missing each other, this might make the conversations something you dread rather than look forward too and they are precious when you can’t be together in person.
