Hello everyone :),

 

How do you show your significant other that you care about him/her? How do substitute for those important moments when you can't be together? What do you expect from your partner?

 

Me, I am a little upset just now, because I am sick with the flu and when I told my beloved, he just said "oh, that's not good" and nothing else. We haven't talked since and he did not come online on the usual time, nor did he write an e-mail to say wether he would be late or not. So here I am, feverish, lying in bed and feeling lonely and neglected. Which is stupid, of course, but can't be helped.

Oh, you poor cookie! I hope you get better soon!

 

My boyfriend and I don't do much besides call a lot and text a lot. We don't do a lot of the other ideas that are out there, like sending care-packages or writing long love letters, or e-cards or whatever. Just, whenever something important happens, we tell each other. If we go out at night, we text or call at the end of the night to say I love you. Just dumb stuff like that.

 

Probably, the way I know he cares about me is that he is working ridiculously long hours (like, 9 - 9 on weekdays as well as lesson planning and marking he has to do after hours and 10pm-3am as a bouncer on weekend nights) to come out here to be with me. I think that proves to me right there that he loves me. Not to say that I don't miss actually sharing my day and the good and bad with him, but its something that shows to me he wants to be there for me in the future.
