It can be hard to be that lonely..." While it's healthy to have some time apart from your significant other, it's important for your schedules to mostly be synced or you and your partner may start to feel like strangers. If one of you is regularly traveling for work, make regular communication and video chats a part of your routine. For the days and weeks that you're in the same place, take out your calendars and schedule together time. Once you treat the relationship like the priority it is, your time apart won't make you feel so disconnected.
