Difficult jobs

So this guy I just started seeing works kinda a weird schedule, he works for law enforcement/security and he works 7 days on 7 days off. He says with his 7 days on, he can’t necessarily talk 24/7, but he’ll try his best as he’s working and traveling. If you’re in a relationship that’s similar to this, how to you deal and handle it? Like the days he’s/she’s gone and you’re just like bored af at home 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t want to be texting him all the time when I know he’s busy and me being needy and desperate, I want him to be able to miss me
