Boyfriend (21m) travelling to see family half way across the country in 2 months for 2-3 weeks, im (20f) nervous! Any advice and past experiences?
My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 3 months and he finally has the opportunity to go to his home country to see his family after 5 years for 2-3weeks. While im extremely happy for him, im a little worried because we usually see each other 2-3 times a week including sleepovers and not seeing him for half to an entire month straight scares the living daylights out of me. He was supposed to transfer to a city 3hrs by car for work but neither of us drive and due to some other circumstances he decided to turn it down. (I also cried a hell lot cause I wouldn’t be able to see him more than 1-2 times a month and it’d be that way for 4 months). Honestly we had an extremely rocky start and things just started to stabilize. While I think I trust him to not do wrong stuff im scared.
Who knows if we’d still be together in the next two three months but we both know we want together long term and make it work.
Calling too would be little hard cause our families dk about our relationship. My parents know we’re friends but im not sure what’s his story exactly, I think his mom knows. I’m just worried we might screw up communication and shit. Whenever we had arguments over text it never ever ended well.
Can anyone give advice?

You need to relax or you're going to scare him off. Give him time to relax, reach out for safety updates, have him text or call when he can and just tell him you miss him but don't overdue it.
You need to take your mind off of this, so the things you enjoy. This will not be the first time you will be apart. Take advantage of this time to know yourself better and to see what you miss and appreciate from him specifically. If you can communicate those things to him after some time apart he'll genuinely feel like you miss him and not just you saying it over and over
see i don't get this.
if you can't even trust a dude to visit his family without having to say "i don't think he'll do the wrong stuff"
then the relationship is trash anyway. let it die.
especially if your family don't fucking know. ya'llllllllll... This whole take is either a troll or blatantly being retarded
Our families don’t know cause we’re from strict brown households and just entered our 20s
