Do you ever forget...

[loveknowsnodistance27]

There are some days I feel like he doesn't miss me, but I know deep down in my heart that's not true at all. He doesn't usually show his emotion that often, and we communicate mostly through texts and MSN, so we don't really have the tone of voice either. Once in awhile we get to go on ooVoo, or talk on the phone, and then I can hear just how happy he is to talk to me, and that always makes me feel better. When we do say "I miss you" on the phone, I can hear the sincerity in his voice and I can hear how much it hurts for him to say it/be apart from me. I'm very emotional, and get worried and worked up over things much easier than my boyfriend does. I don't want my boyfriend to spend too much time feeling down about being away, but it's nice to know once in awhile that he does miss me and miss being home.

I think I do forget a lot. I actually just said something to him about this last week. I was having a really hard day, missing him, feeling like the distance is killing me and I said that I felt like he was having an easier time than me because he's always surrounded by his friends laughing everytime I call him. He told me no way, that he would much prefer to be with me than with them. He tells me he misses me but I think I get much more dramatic with it lol.

*nods* yep.... but then I realize he asks me to call him every morning to make sure he's up... he's been getting himself up for 30 years... but suddenly he needs a morning phone call... and he calls me during the day... and then if I go to bed early and call him to say goodnight he's happy... His phone call last night that I missed tells me he misses me too.

or the facts that my "special GIRL" pillows are on his bed instead of in the closet so he can snuggle them cause he misses me...

yep... he misses me as much as i miss him...

I wish I could...he tells me all the time... LOL No i don't really forget that he misses me, but more that he is in the same amount of pain from our distance as I am. Sometimes I forget that I am not the only one who is hurting from this distance and there is someone on the other side of the world that is wishing the distance did not exist, or that we could teleport

YES!!!! and whenever that happens shes quick to tell me "Your not the only one hurting here!!! Its rough on me as well, you keep forgetting that!!" i dont mean to and i know she has a rough time with it as well i dunno sometimes my pain gets so great i forget she feels the same way

[MeeshaLenee]

I dunno. I think we talk about it enough that I generally never forget that he misses me as much as I miss him. It helps that he's a really emotional sort of guy, and expresses his feelings quite openly, so I always know how he feels about something.

That said, being reminded how much he loves me is always nice; I do forget the extent of his feelings for me sometimes.

I definitely forget... especially since my SO is not great at communicating his feelings...

[FadedSunrise]

I forget, but only because I get stuck in feeling sorry for myself and why am I so bad with this, I should be like this, see person x is like this...

He's usually much better at dealing with his feelings, but it doesn't mean he doesn't outright tell me he misses me sometimes. Once, the day after we had a long talk, he randomly tells me that he doesn't know why, but is getting a sudden rush of missing me really badly. And sometimes I'll be joking with him after leaving to go get water and ask "didya miss me? ;D", but he'll reply very seriously with "I miss you everyday"...which is very heartwarming. :3

He's dealt with LD before, but this is my first. I'm always feeling like I struggle with it more than he does. But every now and then he'll send me a message about specific things he misses about me, and I realize he probably thinks about it just as much as I do.

I really need to start realizing that he does miss me too. Lately he hasn't said it much that he misses me or is lonely without me, but I shouldn't get upset about that. I would love for him to say I miss you baby so much whenever I need it to be said to make me feel better that he misses me, but I have to realize he has other stuff on his mind too, and maybe talking about missing me is just making him more sad lately. I know he misses me, I just need to keep telling myself that I'm not the only one missing someone.

I'm guilty of this! I assume a guy could not possibly have the same feelings I do. I guess I realized after three years he just shows it different ways then I would.

Sometimes. I guess it's because I get more emotional about it than he does. I know he misses me though. We just have different ways of expressing it.
