Long distance is tough, but I think you can swing it. When I went abroad, it was very difficult, but I think that's mostly due to the fact that our relationship itself was. not. working. My problem was he expected me to stay in and talk to him all the time, when I could be out seeing things -- it wasn't that I wished I could have been dating other people.

From what I can tell about you and Matt, though, is that you're quite strong together and although you may have petty fights, nothing like that will endanger your relationship. Make Skype part of your routine. If you both have smart phones, get WhatsApp. If I were you, I might even look for an internship in NYC while he's there. Good opportunity either way. I think the worst thing you can do, to be honest, is make him feel like he has to stay in and talk to you instead of going out and seeing the city or travelling around New England or whatever.
