    I think that I stay up very late, because I don't want to go to sleep without him. :(

    Did you stay up late beforehand?  Or is this a post-LDR phenomenon?

    aww, bunny! :(

    nighttime IS super hard! Because during the day you've got work/school, friends, all sorts of fun stuff that confidently enjoy even if he's not there, but at night... it just gets lonely. I understand!!!

    Hubs used to talk to me until I would fall asleep on nights I was having a really hard time. Kind of pathetic I know, but it helped me. I also stole one of his dirty t-shirts. It smelled like him.

     Nights were the worst for me too...I missed being dated, being cuddly.

    I like Miss Lily's advice...borrow his clothes next time you see him and fall asleep talking on the phone. 

    I usually fell asleep thinking of what our nights would be like when the LDR is over!

    I totally have this problem too.  When I'm visiting him, even if he doesn't come to bed with me right away, he cues me to turn off the tv/whatever and go to bed when I'm getting tired.  On my own, I'll stay up forever doing absolutely nothing, even when I'm exhausted!

    I had that problem, especially since he was 3 hours ahead of me.  He would go to sleep very late but I was still sometimes the last one up and wasnt able to talk to him because he was already asleep.  OR he would be out on the weekend and I would actually want to go to sleep but couldnt because I knew he was still out and waiting for his call before bed :(

    Oh man, it is WEIRD for me have him in the bed the whole time. No more down comforter for us--"it's too hot".

    Also, my cats haven't slept with me since he's been home. I miss their furriness. And they don't snore as much as he does...=]

    LOL@ ejs!  I'm still getting used to sharing the bed with Mr. Doxie, too!  We were sharing a full-sized bed, and it was missserable.  It was hot, and there just wasn't enough room for the both of us and our furbabies.  We upgraded to a Cal King and it's like Heaven!  (Thanks to my dad for the birthday/Christmas gift : )

    I always hated nighttime, too, when we were still long distance.  He was a nightowl and I had to sleep for work the next morning; I always felt bad leaving him on Skype!

    Bed-sharing was probably the biggest adjustment when FI and I were finally in the same city.  My full bed is a bit, um, cramped with two people, but we're sharing a studio.

    I refuse to relinquish the down comforter.  If this means we sleep with the windows open all winter, so be it.

    aww, i know how that goes. i typically have a bigger issue of sleeping alone whenever i return from a trip with him. but now i sleep with one of his shirts next to me so it kind of helps ease the lonliness a bit.

    though it is nice to wake up and not have to extricate myself from his arms so i can go to the bathroom. i also joke about his "death grip" he has when we're together. sometimes it's like i need to have the jaws of life in the nightstand!

    You guys are so encouraging....  Well the thing is, I am just starting to really miss him and like naangel55, the FI was 3 hours ahead, now he is one hour and going back to 3 hours ahead in a few weeks..  and we talk for about an hour each evening, so it is not like I don't get to talk to him.

    Fortunately I get to see him in 15 days (for a week and a half) and then in March, I will see him again for our wedding!!!!  

    Mr. Bee - we have never actually slept together, so i am not used to that...but as far as staying up, at school we would both go to bed at like 10 or 9:30 and then we would wake up at 4:30 and do school and then go and work out and eat with each other, maximizing  our together time.  So we went to bed super early and everyone thought we were crazy because of our schedule.  :P

    Miss Lily- I have one of his sweatshirts, but it doesn't smell like him anymore...  :(  It has been too long...When I go to CA I should take something new. :)

    DDW - you hit the nail on the head.  I am living at home until I get married, after moving out for school and work several times (I'm 21), and I have 4 of my 5 younger siblings that live here as well as my mom and dad, so I usually have a TON going on. Like right now, my 10 year old sister is asking me if her math problem is right and my 14 year old brother is trying to read over my shoulder.  :)

    Teaadntoast and Dachshund - that will be a really big adjustment for us too... going from never sleeping together and being in a LDR to being married.  hee hee...and we both like a warm bed, so our windows will be open too... I already do that!!!  :) we are going to have a queen size bed to start off with I think... 

    Ottawabride2011 and zippylef - BINGO

    Lattelove- yes nights after we are married will be nice....  :)

    twocities - aww, sounds like your FI is great. :)

    Ejs - Yay!  I am happy for you that you and your hubs are no longer in a LDR.  

     

    Thanks everyone~!
