Because of our career paths, my boyfriend and I have been physically separated (temporarily) He had to move to Washington for an internship, and because of my internship i had to say in Atlanta. But not only is he distant physically but emotionally too. We barely talk and when we do its always an argument. He doesn't seem the same. I used to make him so happy. we were always trying to find ways to communicate. Now i barely get a text. Things are different. I don't feel like his Girlfriend anymore, I feel like an acquaintance. I'm supposed to be the person that he is in love with but i mostly just feel like an annoyance. Should i be worried? And if so, what should i do?
What to do about distance?

You dump him and move on with your life. From what you've said he is obviously not willing to make the effort to keep the relationship going and that commitment to the relationship is the only thing that will make it work and I'm speaking from experience here. If he can't commmit and make the effort then you haven't got a relationship anymore. You shouldn't be worried, you should tell him to make more of an effort or the relationship is over.
My wife and I met while she was working as an au pair in London in the Uk, we fell in love when we met at a language conference, I was working in Cardiff at the time, a 4 hour drive from London. We kept in touch by phone (before internet and mobiles) and letter and we met whenever we could. After a year she had to go back to Hungary to complete her University studies, a 3 hour flight away. But we wrote, phoned and visited each other whenever we could get the money together. After a year, she graduated and we got married almost 2 years to the day after we first met. Bottom line is that without making the effortwe wouldn't have survived the distance, you should expect the same from him.
