Really sad right now

[Cathster]

So Saturday I said goodbye to my SO for another few months. It sucked WAY more than last time - probably because he was the one that dropped me off at the airport this time and it was so hard to walk away from him.

 

I went out to surprise him for his birthday, only it turns out he wasn't too surprised because he already knew! He played it so good that I had no idea he'd known until a few things started to add up. I forced it out of him and turns out he'd found this forum and realised it was me, and discovered my posts in the Countdown thread, lol. Oops!

 

I had such a great time, and we cleared up a few issues, which was great, but also not so great as it's made me realise that we will be long distance for a lot longer yet. The alternative though is breaking up and I couldn't bear that.

 

So I am pretty much completely miserable right now, and do not want to be doing work and chores and general day-to-day boring tasks! The only consolation is it's not too long until we see each other again... tomorrow I can say I will be seeing him next month

April's only a few weeks not months I said to my partner last night tomorrow we can say see we're seeing each other next month.

When will you two live closer?

For us it's nearly 2 years.

I'm really struggling at the moment and wondering whether to end it, but I don't want to as I love him so much, so I understand how you feel

I guess because it's end of April I keep thinking it's longer! So it'll be about 8 weeks. That's not long at all It still sucks though when we go from seeing each other every day to then spending 8 weeks apart, it takes some adjusting!

 

When we first went long distance we agreed on 2 years. But the thing is that the only way to stop it being long distance is to get married, and he doesn't know if he'll be ready in 2 years. So it's unknown right now, which I don't like.

 

Have you guys got an end date in mind?

 

I always figured that if I feel this bad when we're together as a couple but thousands of miles apart, then how would I feel if we weren't even together at all. He doesn't really agree I don't think but I think I just don't explain it very well!

Hi Cathster, I'm pretty much in the same boat you are right now. I said goodbye to my SO on Saturday night and it was definitely the hardest time I've had so far. I'm just trying to keep busy right now, but nothing quite fills that void. April will be here before you know it! My boyfriend and I will see each other again in a few weeks up until the beginning of April too.

 

I wouldn't stress so much on having an end date. Plenty of us don't have a sure one in sight just yet (including myself) and are making the best of it. Stay positive and enjoy your time together! Hope the pair of you had a great visit.
