Aqua boyfriend/Scorpio girlfriend

(cross posted in Aquarian forum)
My long distance boyfriend is going to visit his family from Thanksgiving through to the New Year.

It's 42 days.

I see him about twice a year, and we talk every night. But... while he's visiting, he will be busy spending time with his family and friends and we won't be able to carry on like we usually do. He has gone back to visit his family last Christmas and I had some complaints about how he handled his time. He basically tells me he doesn't have a lot of time, but it is my opinion that if you loved someone, you MAKE time for them.

So I have had many conversations with him in the past week telling him how I feel, and he has said that he will do his best to call me each night and make me a bigger part of his time spent there.

My problem is... I get hurt easily. I get jealous and I feel left out and abandoned and I don't want to fight with him this time.

I just want these 40 days to blaze on by so I can go back to having him :\. He might even have to hang out with his ex-girlfriend because she is still a part of his circle of friends. And I have told him I will NOT like it if he even spends a minute in her presence, basically. I barely see him, and to think that she gets to when I don't just makes me fume.

What do I do? I don't want to be a nuisance, but I don't want to leave him alone and feel hurt that he doesn't contact me.

And on a side note... are all Aquas really bad at the whole gift giving thing? .... My bf didn't get me anything for Christmas last year...I guess he felt bad and sent me an electronic gift card... :\

Do you mind if I ask how old you both are? This sounds like young love. Twice a year? Thats hardly a working relationship, dont you think? As for the ex...either you TRUST him or you dont. You are comparing your situation with not seeing him with her "getting to see him" like comparing apples to oranges. They arent together anymore. Why dont you trust him?

Cant say anything about the gift giving..,my son is an aqua...he forgets me from time to time, but I know he thinks of his friends at holiday time. If this guy has to work extra hard at remembering you while he is away, Id say thats a red flag. Maybe the long distance is wearing on him? Again, I think age is a significant factor here. I wish you good luck!!

Sounds like an aqua

I dont understand how a relationship like that could be fulfilling guess.

@BigGirlPanties: I'm 23 and he's 25. I knew what I was getting coming into this relationship...regarding the whole (basically indefinitely) long distance. I am working on trusting him. He has given me not a single reason to suspect him of anything. I'm just that way (scorpio? Might explain that...) I guess I just want to know ways of putting him to the back of my mind while he's gone. I have uni and my own friends, but I just want advice. Someone suggested I pick up a hobby or some kind...I guess that might work.

The gift giving thing has gotten better, surprisingly?? Today he told me he purchased a part of my present for Christmas. That was so surprising.

@LouLore: Yeah, It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

@Ellessque: I can see how it can sound miserable, and sometimes my emotions get the better of me. But it is actually a good relationship. It's based around friendship. We understand each other very well. I am living my life. You're right, he is a big part of my life, so when he is occupied for 42 days and I am not able to be a part of his experiences, it does get to me.

I really just want advice on how to deal with what it is.
