I am in a new relationship with a guy who I absolutely adore. The feeling is mutual - we connect in every way possible: emotionally, physically, intellectually. We spend a lot of time together, and have plans to travel together in the future. He's mentioned me to his family (they live out of town) and has told them how happy he is in this new relationship. We are that corny and annoying happy couple that can't stop smiling and holding hands and thinking about each other.

 

The only problem is that he travels a lot for his job. About 6 months of the year (not consecutively) he is away. I can't take that long of a vacation from my job every time he goes away in order to travel with him. He's gone away for work right now for a month, and it's only been a couple of weeks and it's absolute torture for me. I feel like I'm in withdrawal.

 

Has anyone experienced this, and how hard is it to keep this kind of relationship up where one person is away for long periods of time often?

It's probably bad for him too. Talk to him more about it. But don't sound clingy and insecure.

You may want to post this in the Long Distance forum.

 

Can't you visit him for three or four day weekends when he is away instead of long blocks of time?
