Is anyone else here in a long distance relationship?

I have been dating J since late December. He lives about an hour and a half from me, which I know isn't a huge distance compared to some, but it's far enough to make it hard. Not only is he a distance away but he also has an extremely demanding job. He's a paramedic, working Mon-Fri with a fire department and coordinating a volunteer FD on his nights and weekends. This makes things even more difficult. We see eachother about once every 2 weeks for a night or 2, sometimes more often if we can swing it. I have 2 school age kids and am in college full time so for me to go stay with him through the week is difficult.

In a way I think the distance is good. I really want to get my mental health in order before having him around 24/7. I have a very bad habit of rushing into relationships. The last 2 I've been in, I was living with my partners within the first month. With J being so busy and far away, we are forced to take things slower. I think this will help our relationship in the long run. Doesn't make it any easier to not miss him though.

I brought all this up in counseling and my counselor seems confident that she can help me work through the separation anxiety I'm dealing with. Just wondering if anyone else is in a LDR and has any advice!?
