Success Happy

How can I maintain a happy relationship and myself happy when my boyfriend is gone for 8 months?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years everything has been going well, but he is going on tour soon for 8 months to Japan. Im really supportive and i want him to go. I think its a great experience for him. But i can't be alone, i get sad when i think of him leaving. How do i keep healthy and happy? along with him being happy?

1. I take it he's military. You should call him often, send him pictures of you, your pets, whatever you think he'd like. Send by mail little gifts, romantic cards with loving words from you. Keep the romance going. Keep reminding him you miss him, but don't make him feel guilty for being gone, big romance killer. See if there is anyway one of you can travel after a few months to see the other. Good for you for being supportive, he is a lucky guy.
2. Dear, This might help u... Go for a nice picnic before his tour. Have some snaps and videos taken. Exchange remembrance gifts. These'll help u feel relly close to him despite of miles between u two. Keep in touch online and hang on phones. Make sure u dont disturb his work :-) Good luck,
