...and have been for over a year now. We had plans of moving in together this summer, but he is being moved out of the country for two years (he is a Marine). The thing is that though I am in love with him and we have a wonderful time together in real life I think that another 2 years apart is going to be really rough because he is not exactly the type who is emotionally giving when is comes to our online relationship. (ie. He is really wonderful and romantic in real life when we are together, but he seems really distant through email, which probably sounds like common sense, but without the physical displays of affection it is harder to see how he feels about me). Is there a way to get him to open up more emotionally so we can survive this 2 years or should I suck it up and hope flights to Japan get cheaper?

You may be able to get special discount on flights from Marines, so you need to check into that. Also it's only going to be harder I would imagine for your boyfriend to show emotions when he is that far away as he will certainly have other things on his mind also. Long distance relationships can certainly survive as my fiance and I met almost three years ago and are marrying next May. But you need to trust your fella and providing he is emotionally supportive of you when together then that is something to be grateful for. These machines make it hard at times to show emotions, so believe that things will be fine and they will be. Best of luck to you both.

I think if only your boyfriend loves and trust you then there is no fear if he travels to another country. All you both need to know is how much you love each other and how much you can trust him. I think if you know your boy friend very well you can testify about him even when he is far of.
Let me give you my experience about myself. I was also in the same situation and because I had new my boy friend about a year or two I new him much better anytime we are together. And when it was bout time for him to move to another city I trusted that there will be no regrets in the near future because I trusted the man I was moving with. Trust me you have to know by now the kind of guy you are moving with so that you don't have to be close to him all the time for you to be loved.
No need to suck it up and hope flights to Japan.

Wow I thought I had it bad. My first long distance relationship was only 2 hrs then I moved near to him....dated for 2 years,married him and divorced after 11 years....Now in this relationship with a Brit Boy, 3500 miles away.......
If he is a good man do what you need to keep him. He should come see you too if he has leave. Share the cost. If you really love him why dont you both get married and go with him....

cut the strings before you ruin each other, if it's meant to be you'll get back together when things are more normal
