I agree with Sporty - communication is important! I did 1.5 years of long distance with my boyfriend (he went to australia!). But also keep in mind what communication things work for you. I almost never talked to him on the phone or face to face because long distance calling was hella expensive amd his internet was **** for skype and just made me frustrated at him. Instead, we messaged all the time basically every day about how our life was going. That worked for us - and actually made seeing each other in person again extra special because I hadn't heard his voice for 3-4 months at a time.
So don't get held up on one particular form of communication being better than another - just find something that works for you. And when you do get time to visit - set aside everything to really focus on that time. Appreciating each other is like 90% of the key to my relationship (and we've been together almost 10 years now... Holy). Also sometimes it's the little things. Neither of us ever missed an e card for birthdays and anniversaries and he sent me flowers a few times when I was having it rough. Showing that you think of each other is huge.
