I feel so pathetic...
« on: May 26, 2006, 05:18:04 PM »
I feel like the computer is my best friend...really, I wait for emails, wait for him to get online...and nothing...It's so hard when you have an everyday communication with your SO and suddenly you have none. When he was in the UK, we could talk all the time, and now that he has gone for a 5 month summer job in France, we don't get to talk at all :(, he is working in a place where he doesn't have access to the internet but they do have access to pay phones and can buy a calling card or I don't know, but I feel like he is not doing enough, ( maybe I am not being fair) he has sent me postcards saying it is difficult to get online, and he is sorry, he misses me and loves me very much, but I have to wait so long for the letters and postcards to arrive and it is just heart breaking not knowing anything. I don't know if I can handle being in this situation for 3 more months until he goes back to the UK.

 I try not to think too much, but this week I have been so depressed and all I can do is cry and hope he didn't forget about me...maybe I am just being too dramatic...I'm sorry guys..I needed this off my chest!!

Write letters, send cards and photos.   :)  You do know that it is possible to communicate without a computer. ;)  Once you get into the swing of it, you'll enjoy it.

My DH and I did not have email (well he didn't) and we did not talk every day.

Send letters and gifts and think of new and creative ways to show you care. We treasure the things we collected during our time apart!

An ex boyfriend and I were in a LD relationship for over 2 years and we sent back and forth a journal to one another.  It was nice...we'd put quotes and comic strips in it and poems, but mostly we wrote letters to each other.  This was before we had email access daily and there was no way I could afford the phone bill, so it was how we survived the time apart.  Then when we did get to talk, it was such a treat and we didn't take it for granted!

You could try sticking postcards in the post most days of the week (they're cheaper to send than letters).  And a long letter once a week or so.  And a package once a month?  When I was living in Wales we did not have a phone in our house and had to use a pay phone to call my family.  Standing in a phonebox trying to have a conversation with them was uncomfortable.  I can certainly imagine that trying to have an intimate conversation with a SO on a public phone would be even less fun.  Maybe he could call once or twice a week?

Thanks for the tips you guys!!... I sent him a package last week with a book of poems and some of his favorite candy and just little things like that...I send him a letter every week or postcards too.
I will try to stay positive and be patience....:)
