Tired of the Distance. When will it be over!?

[BJL_Sweetheart1109]

I guess this is more of a vent.

I just got back from a trip to see the SO. It was incredible. We don't Everything just feels so right when we're together, it feels very natural to be with him. We always fall into a routine very easy and become accustomed to having one another around. It's never for more than a week or two though and we're back to 740 miles between us, relying on phone calls and texts.

I'm just so tired of the distance. I don't regret any of my decisions. I'd do it a hundred times over. I'd rather spend the rest of my life in an LDR only being physically with him a small fraction of the time than not be with him at all. But I'm so sick of the distance. I'm ready to be together.

Like together together. When I was with him it just felt right, like it's where I was suppose to be. I loved cooking for him and cleaning for him, I loved baking with him, and having every meal together, falling asleep with him in my arms, waking up next to him. I just loved it all. I'm ready to do it day after day after day after day.....

I'm just tired of being alone. I'm tired of doing it without him here. March 13 starts our year countdown, it's so close, we're almost done with the long distance. But still so far....Idk. I'm just so tired of this distance. I'm ready to be with him. Then I worry that we won't be able to be together right away. I graduated Dec 2010, but I have to find a job right away. He won't be out of the Army and home until March. (that's if no deployment or craziness happens) I'll be teaching so I can't just leave and move with him. Idk.

I think I just have more stuff with school and work etc and I'm on the verge of feeling VERY overwhelmed so the distance gets under my skin a bit more.

I know how you feel. Things seem so fake and unnatural when I'm away from Kevin. It feels like everything is the way it should be when we're together though, amazing feeling but heart breaking when it's all over. I'm here for you if you need to chat though =)

I know, it sucks! Hold in there, it will soon be over!

hang in there! a year really isn't that much longer.

i always miss my SO the most right after i get to see him in person. it's' terrible. the more right they seem when we're together, the less right they seem when we are not. it sucks.

My thoughts exactly! When Andy and I were together last summer for 2 months we got so used to actually living together, doing normal everyday stuff, like the laundry and cleaning and shopping, it just felt absolutely amazing to be able to do that with him and I miss it so much, I'm more than ready to live with him for the rest of my life and I can't wait for that day to come.

We don't have a definite date yet but knowing it will happen within this year helps a lot and you should focus on that too, knowing that the distance is not gonna last forever. I'd feel much more desperate if there was no knowing if it will ever happen.

Just thinking about it now makes me smile cause I know we're gonna be so so happy together and so will you! Just hang in there, you've done great so far and a year really isn't a long time because when you start sorting things out for the final move I guarantee you're gonna have a feeling that it's all happening too fast! 6 months ago we were planning that Andy will move here right after he graduates which will be this summer and the wait seemed SOOOOO long but now that it's getting closer we realised we can't rush into it and just move together, there's so many things to plan and to do before he can actually live here.

But he's coming here in 4 weeks for a week and again in the summer and the good news is that this time he can stay for as long as we both want cause he's out of uni so we'll have time to think everything through

After the year is gone you'll be amazed how quickly the time has passed, it always flies even though you don't seem to notice it!

Lots of hugs girl It can be painful to want to be with your SO and not being able to be physically there. But be happy, soon you start your countdown, and you have a date on when the distance will end!!! Best wishes!

*massive hugs*
it will be all good, you can do it!
you have the date set, the time will fly by and everything will be just fine

and i think we all know the feeling, so youre not alone!

Waiting is the part that always sucks. No matter what it is for though definitely much harder when we're talking about people, love, and relationships! *Big hugs* You can make it! Hang in there and stay strong.

I too am in a relationship with a soldier and whenever we see each other everything falls into place so easily. I could have written exactly what you posted, when I go to stay with him for a week or two we cook together and clean together. I love waiting for him to come home after working or for his lunch break. My SO and I have to wait to live together too (probably won't happen until late 2012 or 2013) I'm working on finishing my Master's degree and by the time I finish he will most likely be deploying spring 2011.
It is tiring to think of how much time you have until you and your SO can be together all the time, I think about it and I get that antsy under the skin feeling of 'I can't wait that long! I want to be with him NOW!'
When I tell him how the next year or couple years seem so far away he reminds me that last year we were both saying how this time this year seemed so far off and looking back it flew by. So even though plans for the future do seem very far off and you feel like the time will drag on, it really will go by quickly.
