<human>: To start off with, I'm 21, he's 22, we're both dudes, and we've been dating for 4 months and change-long distance for the last month and change.

My boyfriend and I have been in the long distance relationship for the last month and change, after spending a lot of our free time during the university last semester together- dating, etc. 

I know the biggest problem is expectations, or lack thereof. After talking almost every day for three months to suddenly talking once a week, sometimes twice, I've found that I'm not comfortable with the current situation.

Unlike most people, we can only communicate through Skype, because he's going blind due to complications with diabetes. This obviously creates a problem in itself, but there is no other option for us.

I addressed the problem with him, telling him I was fine with talking every other day, but once a week, or once every 5 or 6 days isn't working. However, he is under the impression that we will we have more to talk about if we continue with this pattern and doesn't want to be burdened with a schedule or any sort of mandatory "dates" type of thing, as it would limit the time he got to spend with his other friends, and he would have to make plans around the schedule.

He also believes that if we were to talk every other day, the conversation would get stale and he would be bored with the situation. 

I feel that instead of checking in every couple days, that by having real conversations about what's happening in our lives/how we felt about it/ et cetera, we would be able to emotionally support each other while maintaining a relationship involved in each other's lives.

In terms of an "end date" to our long distance relationship, we are uncertain due to his deteriorating health, and it may be up to a year or more. But definitely for the next 4-8 months.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: He's okay with checking in every couple days, I want to talk every other day. Is there a compromise for us? Is it a hopeless endeavour?
