Hey everyone,

My girlfriend will be going away on a holiday tomorrow with her family for 8 days. And I am going to miss her so much! I don't know if 8 days is actually a lot but what I know is, its hard for me. Making things worse, I will not be able to send text messages to her because she did not activate her auto roaming service for her phone line provider. Just for information, without auto roaming she will only be able to receive messages in our country but not in other country. So basically I will only get to contact her using instant messaging etc which I'm not sure is also possible because she will have no time to go online and stuffs. So my question is that, how can I cope with this? What can I do to distract myself from feeling so down because I miss her? I don't really have a lot of friends to go out with. Please help me. ):

comeonjesusthishurtstoomuch: I am very grateful for your help or motivation that you gave me. With your sincere heart, I doubt it will ever be a problem to find someone that will love you dearly. You may meet some obstacles along the way, but there will be one point of time you will actually be the happiest person you had ever known in your life. (:

and to the rest of you who helped me with this, my girlfriend had already left for her vacation. So I'm using this time to draw out the plan of a plane to make a wooden model plane she mentioned to me that she like. I hope I can build it in time for her birthday which is in June. I'm also occupying my time catching up with my family. I feel good. And its all because of you guys. (: I really can't thank you guys enough.

Eight days is nothing. They will go by really quickly. I didn't see or talk to my boyfriend one time for a week and a half, almost two weeks because he left town and didn't have a phone. It was hard because I missed him but I kept busy, was working and doing stuff. And it turns out that he was missing me even more than I could imagine. When he came back he was all over me and it even made our relationship stronger and more solid. He couldn't stop telling me how much he missed me. It is weird.

I am not saying that either of you need space but sometimes being away from a person makes you realise even more how much you care about them. So don't worry everything's going to be ok. And just be happy that your girl has this opportunity to travel and spend a good time with her family.

On a side note, can't and shouldn't rely on the girlfriend for everything. Friends are important too. Now that she is away try joining a sports league or something like that where you can meet other guys to hang with. Balance is the key to happiness. And when she does come back try to balance your time between her & friends.

That is adorable :)

Just remember that time apart will make you stronger!

Do you have any work that needs doing? You could focus all your attention on helping out any friends or family that need things doing. You'll be perfectly fine!

8 days is hardly anything and she'll be thinking about you the whole time!

Maybe buy her a gift for when she gets back!

You'll be fine :) x

dirtball agony auntAwww, so cute. I remember feeling that way. Really, it's just a week. That's nothing. So, what can you do in the mean time?

Have any hobbies? You could dive into one of those. Maybe read a book. Make her a nice gift from scratch, like a collage of pictures to show her you were thinking about her.

Keep yourself busy and the time will fly. The more you dwell on it the more depressed you'll get. Be happy she gets to see new things and go on a trip. She'll be back before you know it.
