You 'barely talk to him throughout the day'. Does this mean you have an expectation to talk to him everyday? More than once a day? Do everything you can not to appear to be clingy. Likewise, if this is to work, he will come around to establishing regular communication.

In my experience a long-distance relationship is healthy. It is giving me the opportunity to exert my own indepedence - I am realizing I am a capable individual not dependent on others. And, as it has been successful thus far, I would say it is an indication of the strength of the relationship. Finally, it has given me the opportunity to work on my mental health - and become a stronger individual because of it.

So I suggest you 'let go' to an extent. It will be better for your personal growth, increase your confidence, and have the opportunity to work on and resolve your personal needs and crises. Ultimately if the relationship survives this it will be all the stronger for it.
