Nobody Said It Was Easy.

    So, I'm in a Long-Distance relationship. Its our freshman year in college. We're going to school almost 300 miles apart. It's working out alright thus far- but the jealousy has sky-rocketed. I don't know what to do to make it lessen. It is not an issue of trust, we both trust each other completely, what we find ourselves not trusting more often than not is the environment. I know, we should trust each other in the environments because that's ideally what should happen. I think that part of the reason we get so jealous is because we're living separate lives now, so neither one of us can fully comprehend what the other's day-to-day life is like. Therefore, what we're not trusting is what we don't know or understand. I'm kind of at a loss though. He is trying to transfer here (it has been his plan all along, it is not strictly because of me. He applied here and was rejected. We find out in about two weeks if he gets in or not.) The chances of his acceptance are limited because of limited space here. I would like to think that once we're back together and not so far apart that the jealousy aspect of our relationship won't play such a huge role. I thought for a while that perhaps it would lessen as time progresses, however that has not been the case. Are there any suggestions as to what we might be able to do to make the other more comfortable with the distance?

    I'm at a loss.
