How do I handle a long distance relationship?

Dear Hillie

I have been going out with my boyfriend for nearly 2 years. Unfortunately he has just moved 200 miles away and weekends will be our only time together. Have you any advice on how to handle long distance relationships so that we stay together.

Try to spend every weekend with each other and make each one so enjoyable that you can’t wait to be together again. Also try to take as many short holidays away together as you can. Keep busy with work, hobbies and sport during the week so that the days fly past and you have lots to talk about when you are together. Keep in regular contact by phone and e-mail and determine that neither of you breaks the other’s trust whilst you are apart.
