Oh I am sorry your SO is under the weather Has he just got a bug or is it more serious? It really isn't easy being so far away from the one you love anyway, let alone when their not well. The only thing you can do, is send him loving emails to let him know your thinking of him. Maybe even send him a care package. Anything you can do to let him know he's in your thoughts, will surely help?

If a care package can be delivered fairly quickly, I would suggest that. But otherwise just do stuff he might enjoy or he might like. Take a picture of yourself or send him a drawing, if he's up for just cooling down maybe watch a movie with him over Skype. Stuff that will put him at ease.

what is a care package? He has a fever, i think it is flu but you know men and man flu haha

[Sora1101]

just hassle him until he takes medicine and offer to skype or watch movies with him or whatever he feels like doing.

I text/call my bf, I ask him what's bugging him, then I tell him to turn off his phone, drink lots of juice, and rest. He never actually turns his phone off lol but I check up on him often. He really apreaciates that, just knowing that he is on my mind and I'm thinking of him.

A care package is a box of things you think he might need while he's sick. Tissues, cold medicine, a heating pad, cough drops, things like that. Maybe a get well card and a stuff animal to hug.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I've got a wicked bad cold and all I want to do is cuddle up with my SO. He's so frustrated that he can't be here to help.

It's a terrible feeling my boyfriend suffers from sciatica, he's in terrible pain at the moment and there's nothing I can do to stop it

I agree it's a horrible feeling seeing the one you love is sick and you can't be there. My boyfriend's been off and on sick the past few months, not seriously sick but a general unwell feeling most of the time, and while I was with him for part of the time he was sick, when I am not able to be there then I feel so helpless and all I can really do is worry and insist he take care of himself. The best thing you can do is be there for them in whatever way you can be. If they need rest, let them have it, don't bug them to chat, but let them know you are there if they want someone to talk to, or watch videos together through skype/other video chat.. if he has a pet or something maybe he can cuddle it as that can help sometimes. Encourage them to get enough to eat and especially enough to drink. I hope he gets better soon.

Yes, I haaate it! I just want to snuggle him, and make him stay home from work and drink soup. But then his wolk-a-holic self goes to work anyway...raawrg!

Yea it always suck when you can't do anything to help, no matter the situation. I think a care package would be a nice idea. You can put things in it that will help him feel better physically and stuff to show him you miss him, love him and are hoping he gets better soon. My SO sent me a heating pad when I was feeling horrible cramps and it made me feel so much better and warm on the inside <3.

Yep! My GF was really sick a couple of days ago, and I couldn't help her.

But I also got really sick just before I left the last time we were together and she was able to take care of me.
