Els Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 This should probably be in the general/confessions forum, but I'll be talking mostly about my LDR story, so... Just barely a week ago, I would have been so happy to even hear that the bf would be even ABLE to come back, because he wouldn't be able to if he failed his finals. I was overjoyed when he told me he passed.. and then down the very next day when he told me the earliest ticket he could find was next Friday. It's weird, and scary how this completely eclipsed the bigger happiness of having the certainty that he'd be able to come. In fact, I feel more down now than I had actually been before we had that certainty. Everytime I talk with him online now, I have this feeling of dissatisfaction in me, and I keep thinking how, if only just ONE seat on that damn plane were to open up, he would be here in the flesh with me RIGHT NOW. :( So that set me wondering; for all of us who think that our problems would be over if only our SO could be here... is it really so? Won't we find other things to complain and fret about then - things that we would have considered trivial before? Why are us humans like that? Link to post Share on other sites
Maggs Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So let me get this straight...you get to see your bf in 8 days? And this upsets you? I last saw my fiance 3 months ago and it'll be at least another 3 months before we can see each other. If he phoned saying yea I'm coming next Friday, I would be overjoyed!! Be happy! 8 days is nothing. Why are you fretting over something so insignificant! You should be over the moon with happiness. You'll finally see each other everyday (if I've read your other posts correctly). IMO, in an LDR, you can't ask for anything more than that. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Els Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 I agree, I should!! I'm just wondering why I'm not. I definitely thought I should. The most annoying part about the delay is that it entirely skipped whatever is left of my holidays, so his arrival will coincide with the commencement of internship for me, in which I will be out working from 6am to 8pm everyday. So I was really hoping to get the extra 1+ week of hols to be able to actually do stuff with him. But I agree, I definitely should be happy and more content. Naw, he won't be here for good, but I'll definitely see him everyday in the 1 month+ that he'll be here. The last time I saw him was 5 months ago though, so we aren't too far different. ^^ You hang in there too! Link to post Share on other sites
Maggs Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I know it sucks that you'll miss your holidays together, but try not to dwell on the 'what could have been' scenarious. With a schedule like yours, it sounds like you have early morning coffee and breakfast to look forward to together and romantic evenings ahead That sounds good to me!

Author Els Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Yes, I've finally managed to have the serenity to accept it. And have now turned my mind instead to looking forward to Friday, and planning what I wanna do with him! :bunny::bunny: Thanks for the encouragement, Maggs, and all the best to you and your guy!

Selene Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 IMO, in an LDR, you can't ask for anything more than that. True. Anyway, at least he's coming soon, right? Just think about the other couples out there that haven't seen their SO for a year or so. A little delay won't hurt. ^^ I guess you were just too excited to be with him that when his flight got delayed, you got extremely disappointed, too. But yeah. Congratulations. xD I'll get to see mine in 7 months and it's been 6 months since I last saw him. :[ Link to post Share on other sites
