Just saying Hello

[MJs Girl]

Hi,

It's nice to know I'm not alone. My SO and I met last April, he's from the UK and I'm from Canada. He came here to Canada in July for 3 months and then returned to the UK to work. I returned with him in October to meet his family and explore Britain for 2 weeks. I have since come home to work and carry on with my life here. We talk everyday, whether its MSN or texts or phone.

I will see him again in a little over a week , I'm soooo excited!!

This holiday season was hard, I admit. I wanted to be with him for the holidays, but it just couldn't happen. Work schedules and money an issue.

I get upset sometimes, because I feel like people around me who are close, don't understand. Does anyone else feel like that? I think they try to be supportive and then they have their SO at home waiting for them.

Thanks for listening

Oh yes...I feel that way also. This is a great place to come for understanding. Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to LFAD

It's good people are trying to be supportive, even if they don't understand. Trying in my book counts for a lot, though. Welcome to the forums.

Hey welcome.
Yes... people are around you is not really able to understand, unless they've been through the same thing. I woke up this morning to an update on facebook by a friend who wrote several lines about missing her SO and nobody seemed to understand how hard it was. (They can't have been apart more than 2 days.)
That's also why I searched for a community like this To find people who are going through the same thing. Hope you'll like it here.

This community has been so helpful to me, I don't feel as lonely as I use to. People here UNDERSTAND. Unless someone truly goes through it, we can't expect them to. Welcome to LFAD! Look forward to getting to know you!

I totally get this. Whether it's because we're young, we haven't been together for a long time, or the fact that yes, we are LD, lots of people aren't supportive or don't take it seriously.
When people get me down, that's when I count on the SO most. As I've said in another post, it seriously sucks sometimes and it feels like it's us against the world. But with him on my side, I can take on anything and win.


Anyhoodles, it's nice to have you here! I'll step down off my soapbox now. :]
