konfuzd Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 So, to add to the frustrations of an LDR, my bf works a job where he goes deep into the woods for 14+ days at a time and has no access to phone or internet. He is leaving in the morning for a minimum 14 day shift. Could be up to 21 days. He sent me an e-mail to which he made me promise I would not read until the 14th! That's 12 days from now. It's killing me. I want to know what ist says so badly (and there's an attachment) but my word is my word, so I have to wait until the 14th. So, his rationalle for sending it and making me wait is that he says it will be like he's at home writing me a message, and I won't miss him so much. It's 12 days though. That's still an incredibly long time. That little 1 unread message in my inbox is taunting me! I was the kid who rifled through my mom's closet to find christmas presents. This is going to be incredibly difficult for me, but I really want to do it for him.... arghhhh!!!!
Nemo Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 How long will he be out of the woods, before he goes in deeply again? It sounds like you'll be missing the wood, so maybe next time you could join him? Anyway, don't worry, absence makes the wood grow longer.
Author konfuzd Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 He works out in logging camps that are way out in the middle of nowhere. I'd need a 4X4 and a GPS to even come close to finding him, and even then, I don't think old loggers would look too kindly on some dude's girlfriend showing up for a visit. LOL Besides, I've used up all my vacation days from work plus some, and I'm getting behind on my workload. He'll be moving to a city very close to me in just over a month, so there will be no more visits until he begins to move his belongings down here. I've just always been a sucker for temptation. I see the "1 new message" in my e-mail inbox every time I log in, and it keeps popping up on my msn. It's just a big tease, and it's driving me insane...
Nemo Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Print it out, and seal it in an envelope. When you glide your tongue over the seal, try not to give yourself a paper cut. Write "Message to My Love From Deep in the Woods" in pink crayon, on the front. Then place it under your pillow, and join him in your dreams. Don't be tempted to pull it out too early. Leave it inside until the time is right, to keep him happy. He knows what he's doing, so trust his judgement.
