So tomorrow is the day that my boyfriend is leaving and going back to Mexico for 5 months. I am so devastated because I'm gonna miss him so much and I've been crying the whole week and, right now, I can't sleep because I'm dreading the goodbye tomorrow.

 

However, he already has a ticket back on June 5, which makes it easier for me.

 

But how do I cope with my sadness? The first three months of our relationship were long distance and now I'm used to having him around all the time. I know we are both committed and love each other very much, but I just don't know how to handle the day tomorrow? His family has invited me over for a "goodbye dinner", but I'm soooo scared of goodbyes :(

 

What do I do?

You two will need a plan to keep things strong. Arrange regular webcam chats. Call each other when possible, instead of relying only on messaging. 5 months seems long now, but keep his return date in mind.

Yes, absolutely:) we always talk on the phone or call each other on Skype when we're separated, so that shouldn't be a problem.

The best advice I could give you is to fill up your life apart from him...friendships, hobbies, gym, career, etc. The more full your individual life is, the less it will hurt being apart.

You hang on to the fact that it's only 5 months. You know exactly when he's coming back.

 

 

Meanwhile, you stay connected: talk, Skype, social media, & don't forget snail mail.

 

 

You have a plan to keep yourself busy. Take a class. Go on a diet. Learn a new language. Indulge in a new hobby. Just stay active so you have something to do other than lay around & miss him.

 

 

The sadness at parting with make the sweetness of the reunion even better.

 

 

Hang in there.
