countryrider13 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I'm not posting in the long distance forum cause technically we're not long distance...though it sure seems like it. I'm in a hard time emotionally in our relationship because I miss him so much. We're about 40 min. apart, but I'm working 3rd shift sleep during the day and care for kids after school. He works first shift now and sleeps at night. I'm currently out of a car temporarily so I can't just drive to see him. And he's working 12 hour shifts so he's beat at the end of the day. We text during the day when we can, and only get to see eachother this month once a week. And even then it's for a few hours at a time, last few weeks that hasn't even allowed us to get intimate cause he's spending what little time we have with me and the kids. We tell eachother all day long that we love eachother, and that we miss eachother. It's hard on both of us. I cry almost daily cause we're so in love which makes the missing eachother even harder. He's admitted to shedding a tear as well (I know, I know...guys aren't suppost to cry!) Our last visit I just cried when it time for him to leave, which made him tear up also. He sat me down, got on both knees in front of me and said he loves me very much, that will never lessen. And that one day soon he'll be on one knee proposing to me. Which I'm thrilled about. I think lateley cause of the holidays, me without a car, and the weather is taking a toll on me. He was gonna come up to see me on my birthday (last sat) but couldn't because of all the ice we got. I guess I just needed to vent. I know I have a loving bf. But missing him is so strong, it's painful. what can I do? Do I even talk about my missing him as much as I do, or just simply continue to say I miss him without all the detail so I don't drag him down too? I don't want a conversation to get sad between us, I like to try to stay positive but it's so hard when I can't see him. Thanks for listening to me vent, I guess that's what I needed in such an emotional state. How many of you are/were in this position and how did you cope through the tough times apart?
