Thank you for your response Sabby!!

I cannot imagine being separated by states, let alone countries. I am thankful that I do get the opportunity to see him every couple weeks.

I do make an effort to keep in touch with him and he's been making efforts as well through texting. However yesterday and the day before, I just got 1 text each day. Like I mentioned above, he is extremely busy. There's times he's gone all day long on calls and by the time he gets home, he just crashes. He's not a huge phone person so that's hard but I'm hoping that as the relationship progresses, communication will improve. I'm definitely learning about him and the way he "operates".

I think the communication issue is something that make this harder on me. When we're together, things are great!!! We get along wonderfully, we can't be close enough to each other and it's hard for us to say goodbye. But for the time between visits, it's all business. He's been begging me to just trust him, know that he thinks about me constantly, he doesn't want to be with anyone else and wants to see where things with us go. I'm working with my counselor on my constant need for reassurance.

I do think the distance is going to be positive in the long run.
