OOT Again

DondadaTimes2

Josh is working in Buffalo now. Im such a miserable mess and I just dont get it. Ive done it before so I know I'll be ok, but in the same right, its totally different this time around.

For starters. I love Buffalo soo much! I lived there for 5 yrs and would give anything to move back. Now Josh is there discovering all my favorites without me and it sucks. Then theres the fact that this is an 8hr day /M-F deal vs 10hr day/ M-T. Shitty. Then, this is a 3ish month job wheras the other oot jobs were a month.

Needless to say Im a crying, depressed, mess who called in sick this am and am just now getting out of bed. I hate this feeling, but the thought of going to bed at night without him here kills me. I wish I could just quit this god forsaken job, intern 2 full days a week and spend the rest oot with him...in my favorite place!

Ohh, I'm sorry.  I didn't realize that when he goes away it's for so long!  That really sucks.  Will you be seeing him every weekend?

FI and I did the LDR thing this summer for a little over 2 months and I hated every minute of it.

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well :-( That has to be really difficult, and it's not something you just "get used to". I've been out of town at a conference in DC the past four days and I'm craving to be back home. I miss FI so much, and I just couldn't imagine being away the majority of three months.

Try to stay positive, keep busy and anticipate when you'll be together! Smile!!! *hug*

Yeah he'll be home on weekends and while Im extremely thankful for them, they arent much of a weekend. He gets home later Fri and is exausted, then we do stuff Sat then Sun is laundry and early to bed b/c he needs to drive 2.5 hrs and be there by 630a.

Josh and I did LD for 3 months at the beginning of our relationship and I knew at that time that he was my Mr Right b/c I hated every second of it yet. I was not willing to let the distance ruin me and him...so I quit school and moved home.

That sucks! Sometimes a little alone time is good, but three months is a long time. Just remember that saying, "absence makes the heart grow fonder."

I'm right there with you Bridgett. I have intense separation anxiety when FI goes home to visit his family. I'm gonna be SOL come November, because SU just re-vamped their vacation scheduled to give students an entire week off for Thanksgiving break, a schedule that does not apply to law students; in fact, I have class the day before Thanksgiving, because the American Bar Association mandates having a certain amount of hours of class time. It literally makes me mad just thinking about how I will be stuck here, by myself, going to class and doing other crap while he's in NYC with his friends and family actually getting a break.

I have no real advice for you except that you should meet my good friend Franzia, keeps me company when FI is gone.

Awww, that really sucks. As much as I love my alone time, I would hate having him gone for that long. Is there any way you can go up to Buffalo on the weekends? Or maybe at least one weekend a month? Not only will you be getting to go to a place you love, it will sort of be like mini vacations for you two!

Thanks for the support ladies.

Danielle, I plan on taking a long weekend sometime in the next few weeks to go up there, but even thats tough b/c my sisters wedding in a month so my weekends until then are a bit packed.
