It has been a funky week.

I just want to vent, so bear with me, as I have no idea if this is the place to do it.
This week DB and I have been in such a weird mood. I am PMSing, he is being snippy, and it just has been rough.
I guess it makes sense, I mean, I am PMSing which makes me SUPER emotional, and he just started taking Wellbutrin again to help quit smoking.

It just really sucks being apart right now, I have so much stress going on and as much as he helps, to me it always just sounds like he is talking down to me. We had a talk and I pretty much broke down crying telling him how I always am so supportive and how proud I am of him, but how it would be nice to hear it back.
Then he felt like a terrible boyfriend for not doing that, and it just turned into this big ol' whining festival.

I love him so much, but both of us being emotional and on edge and stressed is so much harder to handle when apart.
I guess I am lucky, because I love that I can tell him anything, I just wish words made me feel better than a hug. And right now, I just want a fucking hug.

I'm so sorry that you've been feeling this way! I'm glad that you are talking and being open with each other. Continue to do that; it's better to let him know what's on your mind.

Just like PMS always does, it will pass. I believe in you! You can get through this.

Thank you. I just hate being in a funk with him, everything goes so smooth all the time, so I always go into freak out mode when we aren't meshing as well.

I start worrying about pushing him away, and my brain just goes into overtime.
He is so good good to me, but he agrees that this distance is definitely getting to us. It has been a little over 2 months, and after spending every day together for almost 10 months... just UGH.

Thanks though. It means a lot.

Aw man, that's rough. I can relate a bit-- I haven't seen my boyfriend in person yet, but the distance has been getting to me lately too. It's rough missing someone so much, even though they're right in front of you on Skype D: you guys can get through it though, like deleted said, being honest and open definitely will lead to a solution!

I think we all have days or weeks like that where we are stressed out about other things in life. This week has been a little rough for us too. We have both been working a lot and things have been crazy at work. I know what you mean about talking...yeah it is nice but oh how much better I would feel if I could just be snuggled in his arms. The distance really gets to me at time also. I think he deals with it a little better than I do.

I think stress has a way of altering the way you think. As you know I recently went through something similar myself(all is well now, thank you for your input! Definitely helped), so now I'm aware just how easy it can be to start over-thinking and get more and more negative even when you don't really need to.

It sounds like you two have the advantage of being able to communicate well though, so I'm sure everything will be okay. I can relate because my girlfriend and I get along super well too, and even when I was experiencing the "down" period, it wasn't like we were fighting or anything. Nevertheless, we were both very concerned for different reasons, and it would have been a lot harder to deal with had it not been for our communication skills. So, I think you two will be able to overcome this as long as you're always open with each other.

All the best. :-)
