I mean, he doesn't sleep over but he is out of the country on a mission trip and I have no way to talk to him and won't get to for a week. I see him everyday usually. All in my head I know, I'm a worrier!
 I guess it would be better if I had anything to do but I'm a student and still on break. So now I have been up for hours and hours and have been posting all over TK boards. 
-End Whining- Feel free to ignore me I just needed to get this out. 
My baby Buster. FI is jealous cause I love him more.

    my husband is a police officer, and he has enough years on that he rarely works overnight shifts anymore.  when he does tho, i find it dont sleep as well.  i dont think its out of lonliness that i dont sleep, but more concern/worry for him.

    I feel for you! I used to worry about FI when we were 8 hours apart. I had absolutly no reason to worry, it was that I just didn't know what was going on.

    Your FI will be ok, but I understand why you are worrying. I'm a worrier too!!

    I'm even worse sometimes. FI and I are long distance, and I worry about him driving all that way alone. (There are areas with no cell phone service.) If I don't hear from him for a few hours when I think he's on the road (even if he's not actually), I end up giving myself mini panic attacks and having to just stop what I'm doing so I can pray! I feel pathetic about it, but I can't seem to think straight!

    I can imagine it would be awful to have him gone overnight with no word. Maybe I'm just neurotic about the possibility of losing him. :P But only 11 more days now, then he'll have to take me with him when he does any long drives of that sort. ;)

    I worry at times, but I know that's just paranoia. God's in control, it isn't for me to worry about it.

    I think he's worse off than I am though. I'll be in Peru for a week in February and won't be able to contact him then. He seems worried about that :P but it's just a week.

    Posted by heyimbren[/QUOTE]<div>That's exactly how it is for me now. He is in the rural part of Jamaica. Of course I'm going to be in Ecuador this spring for a week and he won't be able to talk to me.

    I couldn't sleep when I went out of the country on a mission trip. I did get to call him for about 30 seconds each night, just to say "love you" and "goodnight"  

    He's got me addicted to him - I talk to him every night before I go to sleep. The only times I don't is when I have a migraine and take medicine to fall asleep early. He  calls and wakes me up then, and I only talk to him for a few minutes then go back to sleep...

    For the first year and a half of our relationship, my FI was in Brazil and I was in the US, so I guess I'm used to FI being away.  Where is your FI going?  Chances are, he's quite safe wherever he is.  My parents thought Brazil was dangerous, but it's not that bad if you exercise common sense and keep a vigilant eye out.

    Yes! I have always been a worrier , my fiance works midnights so 4 times a week while he works I basically don't sleep. I do fall asleep eventually of course but it is not the same as when he is off.

    My fiance and I see each other 3 weeks when he is in London and one week I don't get to see him each month. For the time when he is here, when he leaves my place in the evenings we have this rule: he sends me a message to tell me he arrives home safe. As he is always leaving late (at 10 pm or so) then I presume he is tired, therefore he also has to walk only on green, avoid red light.
    When he is in Sweden (once a month) we talk each evening on the phone so I know he's safe. When he travels and has to land somewhere, the first thing he does is to send me a message. He is very good at keeping me calm so now I don't really worry for him anymore. In the mornings, he usually sends me an e-mail before he goes to work and so our live works.
