Do you find that the final days before a trip to see your SO...

[Lovely]

that the distance seems exponentially larger?! Like I always miss my girlfriend. Every. Single. Day. However, the two weeks leading up to travel always seem to take forfreakingEVER and on top of it all it feels like she's so much farther away because I'm *this* close to being able to actually wrap my arms around her.
Just wondering when the times are that you feel like your SO is the farthest away... for me it's these final days and when she's dealing with stuff that I know I could be a real help with if I was closer.

On a lighter note? 10 days

Totally know what you mean. I get to see my SO in the beginning for february and I feel like it's taking FOREVEEEER to get here. He's on my mind all the time but I feel like the closer it gets, the more I'm fantasizing about seeing him and all the things we are going to do and it makes me miss him SO much more. It feels like we are really far during these times and he's trying to quit smoking right now and I wish I could be there to help distract him when he gets the urge to smoke. Also when I see couples doing stuff together around me, makes my heart ache.

[Lovely]

YES! <3 to all of it! And I try really hard to not wish away days we are apart because well... I do have a husband and daughter here who I love immensely! I think that's it though. I start thinking of the things we are going to get to do and I just want to be doing them now!

Best of luck to him in quitting smoking It is a hard habit to kick but such a blessing once you're rid of it!

[Jazi]

well I usually feel EXTREMELY impatient and like it's just taking forever for time to pass the closer it gets to a trip.

This time though I've been REALLY trying to keep my mind off being with him and not letting myself get too excited, I gotta remember even though I leave ***TOMORROW*** I still have to be on a plane for 23 hours.. and when you're doing international flights you feel like you're in a whole other time/universe. Spending my flight jumping out of my seat excited is NOT FUN :P

[goalie_girl34]

I agree completely. Although right now I miss my SO more than ever now because I dont know when the next time I'll see him is. Even before I booked tickets for our first visit I knew it was happening within a few months and then the 3 weeks between when I bought my ticket and when I flew out were agony. Right now its torturous not knowing the next time I'll afford to fly out and see him...

[DaisyWhisper]

He feels so much further away for me when I have so many couples around me. This is one of the worst things for me because most of my friends are coupled up, it tears me up inside that I can't cuddle with him like they can with each other. Whenever I talk to him about this he just tells me to not let it get to me but I just can't help it.

Also when we part at the airport after a visit, it's almost as of I can physically feel us getting further and further apart although we are still in the same country for a few hours.

Ahhh, I know what you mean. But I think the days he seems further away are the days after he's just left. They suck! It takes a while to get used to living with him so far away again.

[loveknowsnodistance27]

Absolutely, I think the time just drags on once you hit the week mark or so lol. It's kinda like it's teasing you, if you know what I'm saying. The visit is so close, yet so far! Also, we both get so busy preparing, that it's like we don't totally get the chance to really talk like normally because we're so busy getting everything ready, packing, or cleaning. You can juuuust about feel their arms around you, but yet you still have to wait...I hate the waiting! Lol. But, it's so worth it once you finally do get to see them. It's as if a light goes on in your head saying "This is why I go through the pain of being apart...this is totally worth it." =]

I enjoy the last week. I know its so soon! And i get excited, and it seems to pass by fast. Its the in between bits thats the hardest for me, like now its starting to go by a little faster, but the previous months.... were so hard!! Time seemed so slow!! I hate waiting so much, but keep telling myself soon. Can't wait for one week left, the feelings that come with it of oh my gish im going to see my baby soon!!

[Bethypoo]

Most defiantly. It does seem harder the few days before but I really think that the little kid in us comes out and we get impatient and want to be with them now and not 3 days from now. It in my personal case i get more emotional about the distance. I frustrate myself so i can only imagine how much my SO wants to kill me.

[~whendarknessfalls]

Oh absolutely! The last few days before I get to see my SO are easily the hardest. But sometimes that middle time is crazy difficult to get through as well. It's so hard when all my roommates have their boyfriends over and I'm sitting there longing for my love to just get on the plane and come to me. But once he is there, then it's all worth it in the end.

[sarahrosestevey]

I see him in two days, and this last week has honestly been horrible - I feel like we both just feel really frustrated with the distance when we are this close to seeing each other, and we kind of drive each other nuts. I know this feeling leaves as soon as I see his face, but I completely agree that the closer you get to seeing your SO, the slower time seems to be and the further away they feel. That being said - go quickly, next 50 hours!

[lademoiselle]

Oh yes. Every single time

[Sora1101]

The last two weeks before a visit are the worst, they just seem endless, all you want to do is prepare and pack and whatnot and then you realize you can't yet because there's still so much time left! And the final two days before the visit are bad too, I start getting so excited that I start making myself sick, I get so worked up over it, my friends think it's really funny.

[loveknowsnodistance27]

I'm now down to 10 days! I'm getting so fed up because we're so close to seeing each other, but yet we can't just yet. I am really missing him so badly. Now's when I start preparing. Since I'm not going to visit, it's him coming home, I don't have to pack or anything so it's all about the preparations around here. I want to start cleaning the house, even though he's not staying here with me, but he will be in the house. Also, I am starting my beautification rituals to make myself feel and look as beautiful as possible when he gets here. I need to figure out what I'll be wearing when I pick him up from the train station. Can't wait for him to be here, but the time is dragging so much!!!
