Dear Diary,

My guy moved overseas last week and I never realized how much I would miss him. I know we will see each other once he has settled down in his new job. But what do I do in the meantime?

Dear Missing,

Long distance relationships are really tough - on both parties. You mention a new job so I am guessing this move was important to him. Seek the comfort of your mutual friends and family and keep sending him emails. Take the time to send a real letter (people never do that these days.) Put a picture of the two of you in it

He is probably going through a tough adjustment as well. Many people that move abroad don't realize that life there can be just as hard - if not harder. Be supportive and see how it goes.
