Time Difference?

[ams.201220]

Because I live in Pennsylvania, I'm three hours ahead of my SO who lives in California. Last year, I was always the one to stay awake to have conversations because he, like myself, was busy throughout the day. But recently, I found that I can't keep staying awake late every night. We talked about it and decided to alternate days where we wouldn't talk late and days where I would stay up an extra hour or so to balance everything. This seemed to be the most reasonable option without asking too much from either of us.

How do you cope/handle the time difference??

We are lucky!
My job allows me to go to bed very late since I start at 2pm.. so I just stay up the extra hours (until 4-5am my time) since I'm 6 hours ahead.

When you typed in the the title of your post, was there not already 20 other related titles that popped up? There are about a million threads on this already.

Yeah there were, but none were recent, so I didn't know what to do. It can be removed if necessary. Nbd.

It's always good to read through them because they all probably have the info you are looking for.

It doesn't really effect us that much since i'm only an hour ahead of him. It does get lonely sometimes during the days he has to go to school and goes to bed at 7pm my time but it all works out in the end. It sounds like you guys have a good plan!

Yeah. I'm 2 hours ahead of my so. Funny thing is though, well talk late and he's the one who always get s tired first lol.

I'm 2 hours ahead of my SO also. It doesn't really effect us that much either. He'll get on about 7 or 8 my time and then stay up with me until 12 or 1 my time and then go to bed.

I top of that, you're allowed to post in those too. It's not really a topic that goes out of fashion and the answers won't change either, wether recent or not

My ex and I had a time difference of 9 hours. I can't deny it was difficult but somehow you make it work. You both have to make compromises and try out what works best. I usually called him early in the morning when I got up (around 6) and then he called me when he got up or from work if possible when I was already at home. It wasn't possible to have long conversations during the week but even a few minutes just to hear each others voice was good.

me and my SO have a time difference of 6 hours. Im ahead of him. Its barable but sometimes it can get lonely and frustrating. If i work an early shift at work which i do quite alot i have to be up at 4am which his already in bed for work. and the time i wanna go to bed his still at work. i used to stay up but then i become really tired in work and i couldnt keep doing it. So we make do with texting through the day and facetime for 5 mins if we get a chance.

Dont get me wrong it does suck but its like being in a normal relationship if your working you cant help but be busy

well im only a hour ahead of my bf so not a big issue and im a night owl anyways but there r nights i barely can hang in there but have you tried takin a nap earlier on so you can get up in a bit to talk to him ive done that before

I have the same time difference as you. I love on the east coast and he lives in CA. Thankfully our schedule work out nicely b/c he works 6-3 and I work 9-5 so I stay up later and he goes to bed early. The time difference really has never been a problem for us. Sometimes on the weekends he will be up later than I am but I'm a night owl so often I am up late any way.

I am 2 hours ahead. Usually morning is the hard part. Night she just knows that I could just pass out. If at possible say and early goodnight and I love you just to make sure it was said.

We have 9 hours of difference. Sleep in the afternoon is a good choice haha
