Hes going away rommorow for 10 days and i'm really going to miss him. The thing is i am so in love with him and my heart physically hurts when i think of us apart. Any others in the same boat? How can i cope?

:frown:


Find something that will take your mind off of him. Serious, its the only way I can cope with spending the majority of my life away from my gf.

Like what? I'm on work experience next week but thats about it. Seriously i will miss him like a tree miss' its leaves in the winter. Its like we are always together and he feels the same about it.

God knows what it will be like when i go to uni next year!

are you serious? lol.

That kinda cute and sad at the same time. :biggrin: :biggrin:

Yeah its crap that they go away but its 'you' time. I used to get cut when my guy went away (we have been together now for about 1 and a bit years) and now when he goes away i cheer, lol... its all joking around though.

my boyfriend went away on friday for a month. once he's gone just accept that you can't see him for 10 days and get on with doing stuff. when you see him it'll be like he's never been away, but better because you'll realise how much you do love him.
uck dont get me started. Havent seen V since last sunday, and havent spoke to her since thursday night.
shes in a damned ickle village in italy with minimal communications.

My boyfriend went away last year for a month...a week is nothing! Just count down the days on a calendar or something, I found that helped me :smile:

How abt this ? me and my girl have been seeing each other for the past 4 1/2 years. And now suddenly i'm moving to a place so far off (i'm coming to england from india for like 2 years) that my girlfriend is paranoid about it. Sometimes when she's at home she thinks so much about how she's gonna miss me and all that, that she gets depressed and then i got to bring her back to normal by saying...i'll get her there too! Basically you'll only know the value of water when you're thristy, u get what i mean? So...grit out the 10 days, enjoy the moment when he returns !

P.S - i'm sure the 10 day wait will be worth it ! :rolleyes:
relax and enjoy your 'you' time, thats what I do :p:

get drunk!

my best mates bf is going away and i dont want her to get depressed... so im gonna make her get drunk..she goes in the happy state rather than the depressive, lonely, need-to-call-him state!
10 days is nothing compared to four months+!

I have great admiration for you lot out there. 10 days sounds so insignificant but i don't know hes like my first love and it kills to be away from him for like a day. I can't even text him; hes in a stupid valley in stupid Wales!

I'm sure you will find that the 10 days flies by! Have fun go out with your friends, and before you know it he will be back!
Seriously, 10 days? When I was with my boyfriend we were apart for weeks at a time. And now I don't even have a boyfriend, and am craving any kind of human contact.

Please, just count your blessings. 10 days is nothing. Try 6 weeks.
Bless mi mi friend went away and her boyfriend missed her loadz but the more u think about it the longer it will be hun txt or call him every 2 days dont worry it will soon come and go! x

Although 10 days doesn't seem much in comparison, its still obviously upsetting and I think its a bit insensitive to say that it doesn't matter, or its nothing.

The first time my boyfriend and I spent time apart was when we were 15 & 16, and he went on a school ski trip for a week in the Easter holidays. I didn't take it too well, went to a house party, got drunk and pulled one of his best friends! Haha. It didn't go down too well, but he forgave me. My advice would be to not do that :biggrin:

The next time we were apart, he went on holiday for a fortnight and the day before he got back, I went away for a week. That time, I didn't get drunk, I just spent some time with my girlfriends and had a good time without him. I find that when you're in a serious relationship, you can sometimes neglect your friends a little, so it might be a good idea to catch up with them. It'll really take your mind off it :smile:

Mine's just finished his first year at uni, and although its been quite difficult (at one point, I didn't see him for 8 weeks!) you do get used to it. And look on the bright side, it definitely means you appreciate him more when you're with him and you don't take him for granted.

Ooh, and another thing, I wouldn't recommend calling or texting him whilst he's away if its only for a week or so. It just serves as a reminder that he's not there, and the paranoia about what he's up to might start to set in if he doesn't text back!
Seriously, I try to be sensitive, but I'm sorry, this is not a big problem.

Insensitive is when you're at college and you haven't seen your boyfriend for 3 weeks and still have a week to go, and your friend sitting next to you says, "I miss Tom..."

Tom being the boyfriend who went home for the afternoon half an hour ago and will be back at college the following morning.

THANK YOU!! lol sorry, seems you're the only person with any sense in this thread. Yeah, sorry your boyfriend is going away for TEN DAYS and you'll "miss him like a tree misses it's leaves in the winter" (can't believe you said that lol!) but seriously, it's not a big deal at all.

Like susiemakemeblue says, we're not being insensitive - I had a similar insensitive experience when I spent 3 months in America last year and all the Americans I was with said "I miss my family" when they were a 2-hour drive away and would see them the next weekend, and the closest person who I knew was several thousand miles away :rolleyes:

It's 10 days.....you may think you'll feel like crap, but it probably won't be that bad once he's actually gone! :smile: Go to Ann Summers and make a purchase, will make your 10 days more enjoyable :wink:

I get situations like that too. For example, when one of my friends actually cried because she hadn't spoken to her boyfriend for three days, when I was a week into an eight week stint of not seeing mine. But I didn't get bitchy about it, I just gave her a hug because she was clearly upset.

But obviously its a big deal to Amlea, since its appears to be the first time they'll be apart. It might not be a big problem to us, but it is to her.
