We don't have a fixed time to write so I find myself checking my email every ten minutes to see if he's written. Any ideas on how I can stop obsessing over my email? Thanks Reply to this Question

The easiest way to do this is to use a smart phone, if you have one. If you programme the email account he contacts you on in to it, it will alert you to incoming emails. This won’t necessarily stop you checking, but there’ll be absolutely no point as you’ll get an alert when there is new content for you to view. You’ll get used to not having to check.
The other thing you can do, is fix a time, or at least a time period. Agree that emails will be sent, for example, in the evenings, or whatever works best for you.
I wish you all the very best.

 Have any words of wisdom? Jump on board at DC! Perhaps you can read a few questions and offer some sound, objective advice. It can create a wonderful, productive redirection of your time on your computer. All you need is an activity that takes up your time for an hour at a time.
