the OP's partner is going to prison, so this will not be an option.

Oh, well, consider getting a new bf who isn't a criminal?

Like... a week.

Good luck :frown: Can you keep in contact by phone/MSN? I know it's not the same but it's better than nothing.

He's going to visit family for 2 months and he isn't even my bf, just a guy i've been in love with for years...:frown:

I find even a day without him hard :frown: Yeah there will be phoning and texting but it's just going to be difficult.. maybe it will help me get over him...

Umm, the longest will be about 6 weeks. it feels like a long time to me, because we spend pretty much all our time together at uni.
I find it really hard when I cant talk to him, but its much easier if you can email/talk on the phone, etc. Honestly. I know it sounds weird but you will cope, you dont have any choice, if you see what I mean..

He doesn't feel the same way. We're just friends. *sigh*

And how do you deal with it? Someone i love is going away for 8 weeks next week and i don't think i'm going to be able to cope :frown:


Well, I won't see my boyfriend til mid Sep. And my parents at one point didn't see each other for a whole year. Perhaps it'll be good for independence :smile:
Im sure you'll cope, find things to take your mind of it. I wont be seeing mine till mid sept too so that'll be 4 months altogether. doesn't help that he's started being very distant with me so we hardly ever text or talk on msn now, go for days without hearing anything from him. anyone else have this?

it'll be 4months come mid september. random phone calls, texts and occasional msn has helped but you have to learn that you're separate people too, not stuck together, live your own life, he'll live his and jsut be thankful for every second when your paths cross :smile:

the longest we've been apart is 3 weeks when I went on hols with my parents....we've done a couple of 2 weeks as well since then as well....its was horrid
6 weeks so far, which is the longest we've been apart. I could go longer without seeing him, I wouldn't die or anything but after 2 weeks I was really wanting to see him again! I see him in a few days and I'm mega excited cos I know it will be fab!!
I think the longest I've been away from my boyfriend is two and a half weeks, but when it's the holidays we tend to see each other on a weekly or fortnightly basis. It's expensive (train fares for me, petrol for him), but we don't want to be apart and two and a half hours driving or three and a half hours on the train isn't going to keep us apart!
2 weeks is the longest for me
So far I think the most has been just under a week, but my girlfriend's away for four weeks on a big holiday in a couple of weeks time. Not only do I have to spend four weeks without her, but it's during the holiday so I'm bored anyway, plus I know she'll be out there having a great time in New Zealand! Sucks...

I think the longest i havent seen my bf for is 2 weeks
This was before we were together but i was still hopelessly in love with him
(and trying to deny it)
It was absolutly terrible, especially when i heard his flight had been delayed for another couple of days.
Its the best feeling ever when they come back though, one of my favourite memoried ever :smile:
