I've been in count-down mode since late August when I bought my tickets to see J this winter :) (and pretty much cried when my tickets had to be changed to a day later due to a flight cancelation, even though it only September)
So: How long til you see your beloved next?
I've got 40 days left!
we....live together 
lol so I see him in about2 hours.....sorry I hope it goes by fast
When Bee and I were in an LDR, we always counted down the days to every weekend together!
I think regular flights to see each other every six weeks is a good balance? That way, you see each other every three weeks! :-)
@Josephine - I could never fault anyone else their good fortune!! I'm so glad for your sake that you don't have to be far from your FI :)
That said, we long distance girls gotta stick together!
How great that you will be seeing your fella soon, Daydream. I know it seems like forever now, though. How far apart are you guys?
MrBee, the six weeks timeline seems like a good compromise.
As for me and my guy, at the moment we have no idea when we will see each other next. We were really lucky to have a total of four months together this year. We may not see each other until it's wedding time, which will be about a year from now. 8000+ miles is a bit of a barrier, and with the wedding, visa and move on the agenda for this year, I don't think airfare is in the budget.
When will teleportation be perfected?!? 
@TexasGalah, I'm in China, he's in America ... so halfway 'round the globe! I have a seven week winter holiday though, so I'm headed off to spend that time with him. It's going to be amazing!!
I know what you mean about airfare not being in the budget though... it's unbelievable how expensive flights are :( but hey, there's always frequent flier miles!
@daydream...I'm so happy you get to go home and see your guy! We're in the same city, but there was a time when I was 10,000 km away from him without a work visa and wondering how long it would be before we could see each other again. Not fun!!! Now I count down the days until I get to see my family (less than 200 days to go!)
@bamm, thanks, expat-in-asia friend! I'm suuuuuuper excited to see him! It's about all I can do to keep from packing my bags already, haha.
You are going to have a wonderful time, Daydream. All snug while winter roars outside, I'm sure! Perfect reason to cuddle in front of a nice fire.
Bamm, you've already been through the visa process, that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish! I'm completely overwhelmed just thinking about it. How awesome that you successfully got through it all. I love seeing success stories!
My fiance lives in England, and I don't get to see him till March! Which is still ages away, 4 months or something like that? But the great thing is that after that trip, the next time I see him will be when he moves over for real that summer! Only one more sad trip to the airport to say goodbye, which seems amazing after 4 years of living on different continents.
@daydream - haha thanks! I know, basically forever. Luckily we had bits of time here and there where we were able to do extended visits. But after that long, actually getting to live together feels like a dream! I can't wait!
I get to see Mr. RB at Christmas... as long as he gets his passport. Grr don't even get me started on that! lol it will have been after 5 months without seeing each other :(
When we first started dating, we went over a year before being able to get together and have our first 'date'. It was horrible for sure. Hope all you girls won't be LDR much longer!
When we were in our LDR I literally had countdowns on my fridge. I cried every time we left one another (even if it were only for a few weeks). So glad that part is past us!
Our countdowns are much shorter than they used to be. We've been LDR for 6 years but we've been at varying distances. It was 10 hours drive at one point, but now we are only 3 hours apart. The longest we ever went was 4 months but these days it's only 3 weeks or so between visits. We were separated due to school, but he'll finally be done in May!
we live together :) He's working today, so he'll be home at around 6pm
Mine JUST got home for good, but I seriously feel like I'm going to be taking him to the airport sometime soon, saying goodbye, and seeing him in a few months!! It's so weird
So hapy thet the FH is will be here 12/24 - 1/2 :) We've actuallyonly been together 4 times each year :-/ Crazy! when I think about it that way it's kinda depressing so I try to stay on the high of seeing him soon :)
I can't even imagine being in a dual continent relationship... you ladies are amazing!
In the last 6 months we've seen each other for 6 weeks. I know for a lot of people it's a lot, but we used to live together and that makes it harder for us. I don't know if I'll see him before Christmas it only depends of my K1 Visa.
27 days!! He comes home the 19th of December. His plane lands at 12:25pm.
I can't wait. I saw him last on Sept. 13th.
Since the 7th of April, I have seen him a grand total of 6 days.
@GaBGal I also cry everytime we say good bye at the airport and we've been dating LD for almost 3 years. It's just an unpleasant feeling *sigh*
@LilacAvenue Kudos to you!
Next Wednesday night!
We were LD for the first year of our relationship and got to see each other roughly ever 2 months. Now we're semi LD and get to see each other ever weekend! Well, this weekend is an exception, but the fact that I get to spend Wed night to Monday morning with him next week makes up for it.
FH was here in September and proposed on my bday 09-09-09 but I will not be able to see him again until...March
We planned for me to visit in Decemeber but the tickets was insane so were just gonna suck it up! On the bright side if all goes well with immigration he will be here forever by the summer
RIGHT NOW!!! :) YAY!
I may not be as active on weddingbee this week because I get to spend the whole week with my FI yayayayay! I will cry all the way back to PA next Sunday night :(
Aww @futuredrbraun! Enjoy every minute of it and get off the internet! lol :)
Wow, I didn't realize how many international couples we had floating around! Ladies, every day is a day closer... I remind myself of that every single morning, because it seems so far away some days, but you just gotta keep smiling :)
@TexasGalah a Korean work visa...not an American K1 visa. I've heard the K1 is a whole other set of problems. But the Egyptian husband of my American friend (they're in Korea right now), just got his K1! Very very excited for them!
@Bamm: our immigration lawyer said that its a lot easier to get a K1 visa as long as you make x amount per year! A lot of people are denied visas based on their income :(
I was reading up on it on visajourney.com & the amount of people who got rejected just kills me!
@Recessionista that's horrible! I wonder how it works in Canada. We won't be moving back to Canada for 10-15 years, but I wonder how easy it will be for FI to come. Hopefully by that point we won't have to work too hard to 'prove' we have a real relationship.
Specialist Sierra and I were apart for six months after he took RR from Iraq and then another 2 months until we got married. Everything will be okay!
Wednesday!! It will have been about 5 weeks and I can't wait. He is coming for Thanksgiving and I am THRILLED!
Mr. Bee, we try to switch off flights every other month sort of like you were saying, but it can be so expensive! Thankfully we've been gifted flights by our parents a couple times, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it.
We were apart for 5 months this summer, and then he came to see me, and proposed at the airport...
I get to see him in 17 days.... I am soooo Excited!! I am flying standby to LA, so the waiting might be painful, but it is only 111 days until our wedding. :D
@missmelon, i usually start crying the night before we leave so don't worry. it gets tougher with each visit! i've been home for almost a week now and i still tear up thinking about it!
like i said, i just came home from a visit [last week]. for the first time in two years i won't be flying out around christmas this year but he will be heading my way in february for a week. i hope i can get another visit to see him scheduled soon!
