My boyfriend is going away for two months and I'm worried about how I will cope.

i am far from being a needy girlfriend

Not convinced.

Message and video chat with eachother.

2 months isnt really that long.

Bit harsh...

I suppose it's easy to make quick judgements about faceless people you don't know over the internet.

If I was completely needy I wouldn't be so supportive of him going in the first place. I am and always have been, and as quoted by others, "fiercely independent".

But I do like socialising too incl when I'm at home. I've lived with big groups of friends and I'm just not used to living somewhere completely on my own.

Also, I don't want him to waste his time skyping me all the time and I've said that to him. He's there for a reason and he should not waste it sitting in some Internet cafe. If it were me I would not want to feel obligated like that either whilst travelling.

My partner has been gone for 2 months so I know where youre coming from, except mine is working rather than travelling.

It is hard when you live with them and are used to having them around. I hate going to bed by myself and the house being dark and quiet after I come home from work. But, time has passed and ive got somewhat used to it.
I get to watch rubbish telly, and not fight over the duvet. We try and talk regularly, so work something out in advance. That way youre not afraid to go out or be busy incase he happens to skype! Keep busy - im meeting up with friends, ive gone home for a few days to be pampered by my parents...etc. having stuff to look forward to helps time go faster.

Because I live away from friends and family, we made sure I had a list of emergency contact numbers, rac, whatever. So if the car broke, or there was a problem with the house id be able to sort it (im guilty of my partner doing a lot around the house, and he loves cars).

Just prepare the practical side of things, and make sure to keep yourself busy. Time will pass, and make sure ypur bf keeps you periodically updated so youre not worrying about him.

Very easy. And what else do you expect people to do given a short paragraph of introduction into your life?



Congratulations? You don't need to prove yourself to me. I couldnt care less whether you were needy or not. It's you who has come here saying you're worried about how you will cope.





So have friends over. Go out with friends.




Okay, apologies for suggesting what seemed like the most obvious and practical solution.

Ok, well thank you what was highly unhelpful, and quite uncalled for, advice. My worries do not come from being needy, as you suggested. I am human and have worries like any other, and felt like sharing them to seek some resolve I may not have considered myself yet. No need to be sarcastic. Don't post if you're so disinterested.

Hi, this has happened to me. Couple of days ago. My boyfriend has gone away to do a driving licence back to his country, we’ve only been together 5 months but have fallen very quickly for eachother, I’m finding it hard already not seeing him. If I’m finding it hard now, how will I cope? I would love someone to talk too..

This post is 4 years old CHLOE. Why necro bump it?

Yes that’s it, I didn’t see how long ago it was. Apologies for being new...

Well dat's alright, I think it's a design flaw personally. Oh and remember to click the reply button on the person you want to reply to, otherwise they won't get notified
