Long Distance Relationships

[twenty47]

hi all, just wanted to vent about being away from the hubby. We were together until the end of September and then he moved away for his job. I didn't want to move again, as we have moved 3 times in the past year and I'm sure it's taking a toll on our 7 year old boy. I also don't feel it's healthy for our son to be transferring schools and having to make new friends all the time.

Anyway my hubby is about 4 hours away, he has the vehicle and now it's snowing, the roads are frosty and he wont be coming to visit this weekend and with the winters in Northern BC, we probably wont have tooo many chances to be seeing each other for awhile.

I hate the distance between us and miss him so much, my boy seems to be couping with our situation as the grandparents here are spoiling him, but I miss my honey and I wish we weren't apart. I couldn't imagine being a military wife, I would go absolutely nuts. How do you do it?:crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:

Awww I'm so sorry you have to go through this. It must be really difficult for you and your son missing him so much and I'm sure he's missing the both of you too. I know how icy the roads can be this time of year and especially where you are.

Do you chat with him every night? I hope you will be able to see him very soon. I'm sorry I don't have any advice and I don't know how military wives do it either. :(

I'm sorry too! It sounds really hard. I'm happy for you and your son that you have family near you.

How long do you think he'll be working there?

Hugs!

Here's hoping you have a majorly mild winter! I don't have any advice because I haven't had to be away from my honey for long at a time, but I am feelin' really empathetic all the same.
Be sure and give yourself lots of TLC. Have you read Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance:A Daybook of Comfort and Joy? She has lots of excellent advice on making life more fun, delivered on a daily basis.

Oh I am so sorry dear. I am sure he would also be going through this. But dont worry. Distances just make relationships all the more stronger. I am sure you are going to get back with him very soon. Buck up. A big hug for you.

I'm sorry hun. Although some away time sounds really good to me right now. My bf got laid off in April & hasn't found a job. He is driving me nuts...I can't do anything without him being right there.

I am sure that if he wasn't here though I would be missing him something terrible. Guess we just can't win huh?

My husband was in Iraq for over a year. During that time the best thing we could do was chat daily. We had a time everyday we would get online. We also had web cams that helped. Sometimes when I had to go to work, he would get on instant messenger like MSN or YAHOO and he could send messages to my phone AND I was able to write back. We also did e-mails for when we weren't on at the same time. Hopefully you are able to get back with your sweetie soon!
