:( it must suck big time so sending lots of hugs and positve vibes knowing you will be seeing him soon, time flys so fast these days so keep marking down the calander and he will be in your arms soon
((hugs))
LDR hurts. I know. At least it's not that far away anymore before you see him :) *hugs*
LDRS blow some monkey chunks! It gets harder b/c you're getting closer to finishing. Hang in there!
:/ thanks for the encouragement, girls. I knew at least a few around the community would understand.
it just sucks being so far away. I'm not supposed to be hormonal right now, but I think I am, because I've been really moody all day and watched Happy Feet and totally bawled through the whole thing this afternoon. *sigh*
I've been in a few LDRs in my time. They suck on every level possible. Do you have a webcam and a program like skype on your computer? It really helps to be able to see the person you love when you talk to them. Depending what time it is for him when you are walking to school in the morning, maybe you could call him just to say you miss him? Or send him a text with everything you want to say? Sometimes it is the small things which keep you sane. :)
yeah, we skype for a few hours every weekend, and I do shoot him emails when I miss him. I WAS texting him on his cell (only 1kuai for me - about 12 US cents) until he got his cell phone bill and found out it cost him US$3 a pop to recieve them!
We do chat on gchat a few times a week, here and there, too, but it's really not the same. :( 12 hours makes the time almost impossible - plus he's pulling 15 hour days (he teaches and coaches soccer after school) 3 days a week, so it's not like I want to ask him to get any EARLIER to call me for 15 minutes just to say hi... bleh.
That's another frustration I have -- it's so hard to be supportive and loving of someone when you're halfway around the world! Even more so when my net salary before taxes, retirement, etc is only US$400 a month. Bleh.
That's gotta be the worst. :( I can't imagine having to be separated from my husband, now that I've found him. Ugh. :( I feel for you! And I hope the next couple of months go quickly!!!
Long distance is always horrible. At least you get to look forward to when you get to be together and you won't take it for granted anymore.
*hugs* They totally do suck, and I am so impressed all the time by people that are strong enough to do them. Not much longer and then you'll get to be together! I would totally keep a notebook of the running commentary you want to make with him, but I'm a huge nerd like that.
Send a ridiculous amount of emails. I swear, when DH had no communication in Iraq (we got the 30 min phone call on saturday mornings, that's it...boy it sucks), I'd send him like 8 emails a day with random stuff in it. I'd keep a window up at work and add running commentary and send it every couple of hours.
he thought it was pretty hilarious (probably got old some days), but he said it realy helped him stay connected to me. Somehow, it's kinda important to know what I ate for lunch and that the new crystal light flavor's not as good as i thought it was going to be and other random tidbits.
It may help you =]
I also agree with ejs.
When my fi was deployed to Africa, I was emailing him a ton. He always loves to open his mail and feel connected and that I was thinking about him. Sure, I never get that many e-mail or letters back from him, but atleast it makes him feel like I haven't forgetten about him after he left.
And when he was in basic training, we didn't have phone conversations or email. So..I sent him a letter every single day. (yep, they are all in a shoe box...he kept them for a year and half..and counting). I could bet you he got teased for having a girl send him a letter every single day because some wives didn't even send letters to their husband..but he loves it and he always tells everyone how I did that while he was away when he talks about me. Geez, those boys knew more about me than I knew about me. But, than again: he was an element leader, than a red rope in training...so not many people messed with him since he was in charge. :P
And, it made me feel better and connected to him. Yeah, sure he probably didn't want to read the 60th letter telling him how much I hated my job...but atleast it made me feel better and not miss him so much.

I just gotta say... I'm so incredibly over this whole LDR (long distance relationship, for the newbees) thing. Seriously, can it just end now, please?
I get fed up with it. Yesterday was one of my classmates' birthdays, and we had a big party for her. The whole party I felt like something was missing, that nagging sensation in the back of the head where you know you forgot something, you know? At the end of the night, I finally realized that it was because I kept subconsciously looking around for J, who is, obviously, halfway around the world, not here.
Being alone is the worst, even though I'm an introvert and need my alone time. When I'm walking to school in the morning, for instance, all that's running through my head is things I want to tell him - most of which I end up forgetting by the time we get to talk on the weekend (we only get to talk once a week because of the 12 hour time difference) - but it's not just that, it's like ... he's missing. We're supposed to be together, you know? And we're not.
Sigh. I'm just ... tired of it. And rather discontent with being so far away.
68 more days until I see him. Then we'll have six glorious weeks together, and then just one more semester until I'm back in the States and we can plan the wedding as quickly as possible. :)
