Me and my boyfriend have known each other for seven years. We tried dating in high school but things didn't work out because of distance, now that we are both out of school we are trying again but now five months into our relationship he had to leave for a job with his dad out of state for three months. Any tips for keeping our relationship strong through this period? I don't want distance to break us again, we are both wanting to spend the rest of our lives together but sometimes it's difficult to stay positive.
