cerridwen Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That's good His skype was still slow last night, so we've not skyped at all, which is why it felt so awful, it makes such a difference. I'm expecting his skype to not work NYE too, maybe slow cos of all the 'traffic'. Hello H I was sad to hear about how Christmas worked out for you. Are there back up plans for NYE, or plans for before or after talking to him? Being with others might help bolster your spirits. Hate to think of you alone, Diamond. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm expecting his skype to not work NYE too, maybe slow cos of all the 'traffic'. I think it's the traffic doing it for sure. I get a message when trying to place calls on my cell phone saying the same thing during peak times like this. I would definitely try getting on well before the ball drops to increase your chances of having a good connection. Link to post Share on other sites
Author HeavenOrHell Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hello lovely one, I've recovered from xmas thank you I didn't realise how much of a difference not skyping would be It's working tonight though, yay! So hopefully get to 'see' him NYE I guess we'll just spend longer on the phone if not, I might see about getting together with a friend, but think I'd rather see about skyping my OH, it'll be ok either way, xmas was far worse. It was made worse as I was poorly for some of it and couldn't go out, so was stuck indoors for 5 days, today has been much better and more back to normal. Xmas tends to drag on in the UK See him end of next week anyway I'll answer your PM asap Hello H I was sad to hear about how Christmas worked out for you.

Author HeavenOrHell Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Turns out it was his IP, it's ok now, so fingers crossed. Hope you have a lovely time with your SO I think it's the traffic doing it for sure. I get a message when trying to place calls on my cell phone saying the same thing during peak times like this.

wildgeese Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think special occasions and milestones are hard without your SO in general. It's my birthday today and I can't seem to shake this bummed feeling. I have thoughtful coworkers who surprised me with a cake and card, my boyfriend's sister-in-law (who I adore) took me to lunch (and the rest of his family called/texted), and I'm blessed to have gone to dinner with four of my closest friends. I'm so glad to have all of these people in my life. But after dinner I just wanted to go home, and here I am. I miss my boyfriend terribly and it hurts to not be able to share these moments of my life with him. I know our distance will be ending in less than five months and I'm thrilled about that! But sometimes this long distance stuff is just pure rotten and it's hard to shake that feeling. Link to post Share on other sites
Author HeavenOrHell Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Happy birthday! Yes, it's horrible when we can spend these times with our partner, sort of rubs it in somehow But you're lucky to have a wonderful day anyway, lots of people who care about you 5 months will be here before you know it.

Author HeavenOrHell Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thank you, how was yours? Have to be honest, mine was awful, and I'm glad it's over, I feel a lot better now it's all over, his internet was still playing up, so no skype over most of xmas and new year. In hindsight we should have tried to spend at least some of it together, even though neither of us celebrate it, it was still lonely and boring, friends were all busy, and my parents couldn't be bothered to see me, I got really depressed. It was fine apart from that though I'll have my fingers crossed for you that it continues to work without a hitch. Thank you so much; I wish you and yours a wonderful New Year!

It was fine apart from that though Eh, mine was okay...but I'm just glad it's all over too. Holidays in general can be really depressing let alone not getting to spend them how you want to. It's a distant memory for me already and now I'm just focusing on planning for our next trip. Link to post Share on other sites

But yes, not being able to spend special occasions with the one you love puts a damper on things for sure. Happy belated birthday and I'm glad to see you made the best of it! Just think, it's the last of your birthdays you'll have to spend apart!! I've been counting down my "lasts" for a bit now and it really does wonders for my spirit. Link to post Share on other sites
