...but so glad to have found this site.
The special guy in my life and I aren't dating as such - we're very good friends and have been getting closer (real chemistry) - but yes technically we have a 'relationship', although not yet what it has the potential to be. Sadly - although wonderfully for him - a great opportunity has come up to work in the Far East for five months and he leaves in a few weeks. I'm trying to hold it together because it really bothers him when I get upset, but I've told him how much I'll miss him - he's focusing on the practicalities of keeping in touch by making plans re: email, Skype etc - can't handle emotions!
I've read quite a few posts here on coping which have helped even now - although I'm sure I'll be back! - but right now I need to find a way of dealing with these next few weeks. Should I keep telling him how much I'll miss him and will be counting days etc or is that unfair - I don't want to make him feel guilty for going? I have also never said the 'L' word and don't feel we're quite there yet, but I'm worried I'll blurt it out on the last day! - I feel like I'm running out of time to say so many things. Is that crazy?
All advice on pre-departure ettiquette most gratefully accepted!
