Welcome to the Hive!
DH was working as a journeyman and he has been out of town for long stretches and has worked overnights, sometimes both. He finds a way to call me everyday and usually everynight before I went to bed. It was rare that we didn't talk. If you can't talk everyday, make it your mission to send text messages a few times a day, maybe something sweet and sexy when he goes to bed.
I would also suggest setting up video calls, either on the computer or iphones. Makes life alot easier when you can actually see their face, especially when you can't touch him.
@tksjewelry: Thanks for the welcome!
We still text every day on the days he's working nights in the couple hours between when he wakes up and goes to work. It's difficult to talk sometimes, because the time he's up and getting ready for work falls at the same time as my classes 3 days a week.
That is the exact reason I'm looking forward to getting an iPhone. It will be nice not being tied to my computer whenever I want to talk to him.
@AnastasiaM: I can't wait to get mine either. You can also send letters, DH used to send me little notes or post cards in the mail. There is just something more special about the written word (not to mention alittle sexy purfume added) in your hands. Much more special than just an email. I would check the mail everyday like a kid when he was out of town. I just loved them and still keep them all.

Hi bees, I'm pretty new to the site and have, unfortunately, found myself back in an LDR with my boyfriend.
In short, we're high school sweethearts who have been together since we were 16 & 17 (now 20 & 21). We did long distance for about 15 months near the beginning of our relationship, because he went away for a summer job with no way of contacting me 5 days a week, went away to university for eight months, then went back to the same summer job for four months. While he was away at the job, we couldn't talk a lot but we were able to see each other two days a week and when he was at school we were able to talk almost every night.
We started long distance again at the start of July, when I moved back for school after being close distance for nearly two years, and living together for eight months during the 2009-2010 school year and for the month before I moved. I had adjusted pretty well until recently, when he started shiftwork.
He graduates as a paramedic in a couple of months, so he is doing what is essentially an unpaid apprenticeship right now. He's constantly working 12-hour days (6 til 6, either nights or days) and I'm in the mad dash at the end of a university semester, so our contact is more limited than it was at the start of October.
Does anybody have any advice for me, since I'm still new to this, if not LD in general? Even if not, anybody else have a SO who works weird hours or work weird hours themselves in addition to being in a LDR? I see so many people talking about wanting to have phone calls with their SO every day and, while I would like to do that, it isn't going to happen for us.
