Long Distance Sucks.

I will start from the beginning so I was on Facebook one day just looking on Facebook when my friend Isaiah messaged me and created a group with me and his friend Cody. mind you I just got out of a relationship a couple weeks prior to this so I really wasn't looking for a bf at this point in time and Cody seemed sweet and was good looking. I was kind of scared of dating because of all the guys who dumped me well I have Cody a chance and we hit it off right away like it was meant to be. and we would talk every day and night and we have been together for 8 months. .As you can see from my title we are dating long distance. he lives in washington. I live in montana which is 5 hrs away from Cody. what are some tips or advice people might have who or have been in long distance relationship's
