Long Distance Love - HELP!

I need some solid advice. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost two years. We are in an exclusive long distance relationship, dating no other people. The travel between our cities is VERY expensive and we haven't seen each other in almost 8 months. We usually chat, email, or text every 2 or 3 days. For some reason though, I haven't heard from him in about 8 days. Things were getting a little rocky before this "disappearance." I tried calling him once and couldn't reach him. I heard from one of his friends that he was travelling on a business trip with his uncle (which has happened in the past). Should I be worried? Help! :) :(

Maybe and maybe not. It's difficult to gage this on not knowing you both and his past behavior. And what exactly do you mean by "things were getting rocky." ?

But I will say this: LDR are EXTREMELY difficult, even on the best of terms. Some couples can pull it off, but some don't. It's very human to get lonely and want close companionship with someone who is THERE rather than 1000 miles away.

I'm not saying this is what's happening, but your post is a bit vague. You may need to go more indepth about it for advice.

Nah I would wait and call again for the weekend since it happen in the past that he was with his Uncle this will give him time to work and to miss you and then when he gets back you two can talk again HUGS

I find it a bit strange that he hasn't called/contacted you in 8 days especially given the longevity of your relationship. I would call again, let him know you're worried and ask him to contact you. No matter what, it would be an issue for me that he hasn't called in so long... Good luck and let us know what happens.
