Spizzarky Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Having nothing to do and all by myself, I stumbled upon this forum. Just registered and whatnot, kinda wanted to just introduce myself :]. I'm Stephanie and I've been with my boyfriend Mack for almost 2 years now. I live in Illinois and he lives in Virginia. We have seen each other 3 times for an average of about 10 day visits. We talk on the phone everyday, and give at least an hour (usually more) of talk time. April 12th was the day I got home from the latest visit and I have to say, it was most definitely the hardest =/. Even though almost a week of being home has passed I still find myself crying at the littlest things (like eating the last piece of chocolate he gave me hah). I really love him. We're supposed to see each other again in June and I'm obviously SO excited for it. But at the same time, I'm absolutely dreading the goodbyes. I could barely hold myself together at the airport last time (I'm a very sensitive person :x). My question is, do the goodbyes get any easier? =/
Lovin a scrapper Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 First of all welcome to our quaint and caring forum. There are lots of awesome people who share all of their highs and lows of LDR's. I know exactly what you mean by crying at the littlest things. My baby visited me here at my house last month and we cooked together and it was so awesome. It took me over a week not to break down when I had to go to the kitchen to fix dinner after that. Just knowing that she was right there and then she was not was tough. Goodbyes for me do not get any easier but I believe that is because that our love is so strong we hate to part. It would frighten me if I was so complacent that I felt nothing after either of us boarded that plane on a visit and there were no emotions.
LonelyTiger Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Hi Spizzarky. Welcome to Loveshack. For me it's yes and no. Being apart gets easier to cope with because we have our little routine and I look forward to that time of day when we'll be talking. I miss my hubby like crazy and I still get emotional over the silliest things (totally empathise with the left over chocolate thing ) but we always have the next visit to look forward to. The actual goodbye at the airport - always unbearably painful! I'm usually fine on the two hour journey but as soon as we're in sight of the airport signs I start getting that heavy feeling and the tears start flowing. No such thing as 'holding myself together'!
Island Girl Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I can't imagine the good byes ever get better. But the time together -- in person would be so worth it. So incredibly worth it.
Bearandsue Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 First I must say Welcome to this forum. Its a great place for advice and knowing that there are others who share the same experience as you. The goodbyes don't get easier for me. I am usually fine on the way to the airport. At that point I'm like "I can do this, pshh I'm not even going to cry" Then as soon as we get there I completely lose it. I start bawling and my guy hates to see me cry but I cant stop the tears. So we kiss and he leaves with his head hung low. Oh I hate goodbyes. Then going home knowing he is gone sucks too. But then you just have to look forward to the next time and knowing that one day you wont be apart anymore.
