writes:Hey there. :) Hope I can get some advice for something.I've been with my boyfriend for almost 7 months. We're very happy and love each other very much. Things are going great!But I've always found it difficult to cope when I miss him. We live just over an hours drive away from each other, and see each other usually once or twice a week. I stay over at his house pretty often too. I've found lots of things that help to distract me when I miss him, things like keeping busy, going out with my friends, enjoying my hobbies... but it's difficult sometimes. It is a little easier now than it was when we first started going out, but it's still tough. I only have a part time job at the moment (I'm searching for more work), so unfortunately I tend to have a lot of spare time. And spare time = boredom and boredom = missing him. When we're apart we text each other often and we talk online too, so he's never very far away. But I would like to feel a bit better about this, because it can be painful.For anybody else who misses their partner, what helps you? Any suggestions, thoughts or advice would be hugely appreciated.

 I feel your pain. My husband and I started out as LDR in late 2010 we were 2 hours by car... so we had very little time. If we had been an hour we would have probably been together even more...
an hour's drive here is often a daily commute for folks...
the best thing I can suggest until you two can move to be together (and that is in the plans is it not?) is to keep doing what you are doing... keeping busy is good...
write long letters you don't have to send. I kept a journal. I wrote about him all the time... it's my private stuff.... not even my now husband sees it but when we were apart I would write... everything we did and said.. and then I'd write long stories about things we might do when we were together....
