Looking for someone whose husband/partner works away

[RiggersLonelyLover]

Hi There

Well I have googled surviving long distance relationships and stumbled across this forum. I have been seeing my partner for 4 months now, it might not seem like that long, but it is one of those very special relationships and me and my very special bf just seem made for each other. The problem is that his work takes him away a bit. Usually it's just during the week and with my busy lifestyle, i usually cope fine and by Thursday I am excited at the prospect of seeing him, which is usually the Friday night. This time though, he is overseas for 4 weeks, i am nearly through the first week but have been finding it really hard. I don't want to stuff up what has been a very special time and I don't want to make things harder for him. Today was bad because i was very busy at work and had tricked myself into thinking that it was getting easier. I wasn't going to turn the web cam on becuase i have been finding it very hard seeing him but not being able to touch him. But the computer turned on, skype signed in and there he was. I ended up a bit sad and teary becuase he can't really guarantee that he will be home in 4 weeks as his work might extend it but has assured me he will fly me to him for a visit if that happens. Anyway, i am wondering if anyone else is with someone who travels allot who can give me some pointers on how to rise above it a bit and just live life while waiting for him to get back!

Would love to hear from someone!!!
