His computer broke.. i'm going crazy.

[rcknmommy]

My SO's computer broke on Monday and that was our only means of communication. It costs a ton to text and call so we only text when we feel like we really need to. Which comes down to like 4 or 5 a day and we've never talked to one another on the phone. Anyways back to the point, his computer broke on Monday, I have BARELY gotten to talk to him since Sunday night and I am going insane. Not only that but he tried to call me earlier and I had to ignore it because I didn't have enough minutes. I know that he understood but at the time it hurt so bad to hit that button. I wanted to answer, I wanted to hear his voice for the first time. I broke down and started crying. It felt good knowing that at that exact moment he was thinking about me but it hurt knowing that he was most likely upset because he didn't get to talk to me. I miss him so bad I feel like it's all I can think about. I try to stay busy and something reminds me of him and it's like a domino reaction. One thing leads to another and next thing I know, i'm sitting around moping. how am i supposed to get through these lonely days? I have to know because he's gone every weekend for the next 4 weeks and then for a full week in Feb. Any advice?

Sorry for the longish and off-topic, possibly boring story.

Maybe try making a list of things you want to tell him once you get communication again, that way you won't be upset later when you forgot things you had wanted to tell him. And yeah try your best to focus on the positive, at least you have someone to miss, that's pretty special.

haha. You are boring any of us. I would go insane to. You have us And i like the idea of writing out a list of things you needed to tell him.

I've been keeping a blog on Tumblr for my partner, where I can reblog things I find or even write/create my own posts. It's a nice way to outlet my thoughts or if I'm missing him or feeling bored/restless, it's a good place to turn to to focus on the positives and on doing something he enjoys peeping through when he finally has the time. I know that he loved it when I first sent it about and found it to be a lovely surprise. Maybe you could do something like this?

I hear ya!
Ive been out of touch with my SO for most of the last month. Finally in the last couple of weeks he started texting me more but believe me I know its KILLER. His computer started to act up in September and finally kicked the bucket at the beginning of October.. All Im going to say is YOU CAN DO IT! but man is it going to be hard. Just remember that whether you are talking or not he still loves you... that was the hardest thing for me to remember and really its the most true and the most important. Is it possible for him to get onto a work or school computer? or perhaps an internet cafe even if its just to shoot off a quick message or read one of yours whenever the two of you can that might make things easier.

There is also the tumbler idea, I have a blog where I write about my LDR and I think it helps me and eventually (maybe when we see each other next or when we are CD) I will be giving it to him so that is a good way to work through all your thoughts and drama ... a good outlet so that when you do actually get to talk you arent focused on all the fears and negatives you may be thinking throughout the day or week

Also have you heard of Dailybooth.com ? everyday you post a photo of something related to your day it is a good way to chronicle your life to share with him and whenever he gets the chance or a new computer he can check out what youve been up to

I know how you feel! My mans pc died a while back, he texted a couple of times to let me know what was happening. I went and bought skype credit so i could call his cell phone. It was only for a few days though and it was a killer. However his best friend gave him a laptop, we were so grateful! It was supposed to be for his mums christmas present lol. We bought her a laptop like a few months later lol.

tell me about it!! i go B-A-N-A-N-A-S when i can't talk to my SO. when he was away for 1 week 2 months ago for training i couldn' talk to him at all and i was going insane..! like the other poster said, make a list of stuff you want to tell him, start a blog, or write a journal.

When my power supply blew a couple months ago, I went completely insane. Why you say? Well, when a power supply blows, that can mean trouble for the entire system. Add that to the fact it was a sunday and most places where I live in Australia don't sell parts or aren't open on sunday, it was a royal mess. I had to wait until my house mate got home so I could test out one of the other power supplies in the house just to make sure nothing else was damaged, which would have been big money if even one was. And not having a job, makes that hard. Luckily it was just the power supply and I think I was only out of a computer for a day or two, and had the use of my house mate's pc whilst I waited on my order.. Just lucky I live with nerds like me haha. In any case, the only things I had outside that was my iphone. Which this is the reason I got one years ago, to talk to people whilst I was at work since my job was boooring. Anyhow, that's been my only link to him when I've been out or had internet/computer issues. I know smart phones aren't cheap, but sometimes they come in handy for situations like this, especially if you can find free wifi. Outside of that, maybe an internet cafe or snail mail letters?

This isn't about a broken computer, but I absolutely hate it when my internet craps out on me. It hasn't happened ever since my mom and I moved into a new apartment though, so here's hoping! Texting is just not the same. I'm not a fan of it. I'd rather send my SO emails and voice recordings and stalk her Facebook. I'm a complete mess without an internet connection.

It's good to know there are others that know how I feel. My friend told me last night that I was overreacting because at least I got to talk to him. Yes, those occasional "I love you, miss you" texts are amazing and all but it's defiantly not the same. I already have a Tumblr blog and yes it has helped tremendously. I have been re-blogging and writing on that thing like crazy. My single follower (my best friend) is probably getting annoyed with me. LOL I will have to check out the dailybooth thing. That seems like a pretty good idea. He doesn't have a job at the moment (had an interview this morning though hoping it went well!) so he doesn't know when he can get it fixed. I know he is going as insane as I am though. This is torture!
