New boyfriend is a long distance truck driver

Hi, I don't know where to start to be honest. So I have known my boyfriend for over 20 years but only recently have we got together and are now in a relationship.

I've know from the start what he does as it was always his dream since being fb a kid but I've never been in this type of relationship. Even though I understand about him going away for weeks at a time, I do feel really lonely some days.

I get so excited when he calls everyday, 4-5 times a day, it's lovely., but he's now been away for a month and I'm missing him terribly. I don't know why as like I said we've been friends for years so why would I miss him now that he's my boyfriend.

How do you all cope and am I silly for feeling like this so soon into our relationship?
