Warning: this is going to be whiny.

FI got an internship in our hometown, two and a half hours from where we go to school. He finished finals yesterday and I moved him home today. I'm happy for him. I know it's good experience, good money, and something he's excited about, but I'm so sad. I was snappy when we were packing, I cried as we pulled out of the driveway, and I'm sitting at my parents house right now totally upset.

I have two and a half more months of this. I know i can do it. I survived the four months he was in Norway and this is going to be easier than that. But I'm just feeling helpless and stupid right now...

Will you pray for strengh for me and for FI? He hasn't really shared how he's feeling about it yet, so that makes me nervous. Thanks, ladies!

    Can do!  It's hard when they choose a job that they KNOW is longer distance than either of you want.  I was really hurt when my FI had a job that was an hour and a half away and was looking at jobs that were over 5 hours away.  (we weren't engaged yet at the time but it was the pre-engaged kind of zone).  Anyway, we talked about it, and he ended up finding something closer, but that was really because he knew that I wouldn't have the gas budget to come visit him more than 2 times a month, and neither would he, so we both figured out a compromise.  

    Definitely will pray for strength for you and your FI!

    I'm praying for you both! It's never easy to do long distance especially when you finally think you're done with it. :(

    FI and I did long distance for 2 years of our relationship. I don't know how we survived it (we fought all the time) but trust me, if we can do it, you can too! 

    Hugs to you and prayers coming your way!!

    Prayers for you. Its going to be hard but you can absolutely do this and we are here to support you. :) FI and I have been in an LDR for 2 years post college and 3 full summers during college, so I know how you feel about being far away and just wanting to cry. Praying for you!!

    You will make it!  You stated a bunch of reasons that the internship will be good for him so just keep reminding yourself of that.  

    We were in a LDR for our entire pre-marriage relationship so I think we learned how to cope because we didn't know any other way.  But because of that, I know you can do it.  It will be hard but at least you can talk, email, maybe Skype, etc.  And summer will be over before you know it!  Hang in there.
