I Hate The First Few Days...

[delhommefan]

After I come home or after he leaves! I know it could be so much worse...I get to see him again next Friday (so 12 days) and then again 2 weeks after that but then who knows? He will permanantly be 10 hours away after that point (for the next four weeks he's only 4 hours away for work so its much easier). I am normally really optimistic but I always have my more negative feelings the first few days we are apart again. Someone suggested on here that I don't count how many days we have to be apart but how many more until we are together. Even though its the same number it sounds more positive. I need a new hobby!

I dislike those days too, but I also personally feel like our relationship is stronger after every visit.

I always have a little countdown widget on my laptop's desktop that says how many days, hours, and minutes until I see my boyfriend again. It may be a little obsessive, but it helps me to see the time going further and further down til I see him next!

Hang in there!

I can relate. My SO just left yesterday after being here for 24 days. The first few days are awful. He'll be here again in 20 days, but it still sucks. He's 8 hours away right now, but fortunately, we'll be closing the distance this spring.

A new hobby sounds like an excellent idea.

I can totally relate with you there. That first week without him is always miserable. I get so used to all of those little things (kissing, falling asleep together, shopping together, doing daily mundane tasks.) I have to take that week to completely readjust. It sucks, I know.

Oh and I also agree with getting a new hobby. I recently started scrapbooking again (I used to do it all the time in HS) It helps to channel your energy when you're really missing him!
