Tomorrow is the day! He's finally here after 7 months apart...but here's the problem: I'm not excited or nervous. I just feel numb. I think it may be that it just doesn't feel real that he's actually going to be here, but I'm a little concerned that I'm not feeling anything about it. Has anyone else ever experienced this before a visit?

Oh, I've definitely felt that way. When you condition yourself to focus taking things step by step and to make sure you take the distance as it comes, it feels so surreal when suddenly, you don't just see each other through webcam. Don't worry about it, I think it's a very normal feeling to have! Things will feel much more real and positive once it'll sink in that it's for real and that you're together.

Yes, I experienced that numbness our second visit once we were LD. I felt numb the day before, not at all excited although not sad about seeing my partner and even when I saw him in person that visit, my mind wasn't all "oh my gosh! he's there!!!" It was more like "oh gosh, I almost didn't recognize him and he looks the same. He's cute. Is he cute enough?" and then that first hour together the happy emotions came back. It was not a rush of emotion, but the feelings came back 100%. Maybe sometimes it just takes a while after not getting to be with them in person for a long time. We were CD the first 5 months and then had our first visit (10 days) after 3 months apart and our second visit (2 weeks) after another 4 months.When two hearts are meant for each other, no distance is too far,
no time is too long, and no other love can break them apart.

Have a fantastic time!
I think loads of us know the feeling - I'm usually also pretty calm until I'm either standing in the airport picking him up and the screen tells me the plane has landed, or until I land and go through passport control.
happiness can be found in the darkest of places, if only you remember to turn on the lightComment
