The first thing you need to do is identify the emotions that you are feeling right now and the reason why you are feeling them.

Realize that your boyfriend isn’t solely your lover, he is your friend too.

Think about your close friends for a second.

When one of them goes away for a month, are you fearful that upon their return, they don’t love you anymore?

It’s unlikely that you do.

You trust that when your friend gets back after a month of being away, the love that you have for each other as friends is there.

The friendship with your boyfriend has such a foundation.

A month away doesn’t rock a solid foundation.

For what its worth, it makes it stronger.

Ever heard the old adage, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder?”

There you go.

Maintain a moderate amount of communication with him while he is away, but don’t overdo it.

Anxiety and fear has an effect of making you clingy and needy in how you communicate with him, which risks your boyfriend’s ire.

Trust in what you have built together, get on with your life, and in a month’s time, welcome your boyfriend back with open arms.
