How long can you stay away from your loved ones without any means of contact?

I believe I have been long gone and far away from everyone in my family and love ones when I decided to work abroad to have a better future. But I do communicate with them once in a while through SMS and short calls. Right now, since I broke my laptop, we are able to communicate every weekend for a long time. VoIP really helps a lot in communicating with them in which you are not spending more in it. It's been almost 2 years now since the last time I saw them physically and I am hoping to be with them on July. Wish me luck.!!

nikky... you are giving me a blank page! Well, my husband and i leave the house at 7 a.m., work from 8 to 5, another one hour traveling home... that would be 11 hours daily monday to friday with calls and text messages to each other in between, we come home at the end of the day, so...there. My father stays with us, my mother is just in the next town staying with my two sisters and we go visit or they come have lunch with us on the weekends, my brothers and their families communicates regularly with me and they are at least eight hours travel away. Oh well, that's it.

i live with my parents so dont need to get anxious anout any one but i hav a girl frnd so i care abt her a lot and call her after every 2 -3 hrs.

I'm someone who loves to keep in touch. The longest time I am out of touch from the people who matter to me is only when I am in flight. But as soon as the plane lands, I would start sending messages to my parents and whoever wants to know that I arrived safely at my destination.

in my current situation, being a mom of a 3 year old, i guess only 15 minutes away from my kid is enough. that is with the fact that he is with his grandparents. he tends to be clingy to me.

Personally, I've stayed away from my loved ones at maximum, for a month. That was when I had to go overseas for some army training. It's definitely hard. I would call them once a while just to hear their voices. :)

Hello nikky28! I have been away from my parents now. But still we have some contacts like calling on the phone with each other. I guess I can manage to be away without any contacts from them for 10 days and afterwards, I'll worry about them.

I live with my parents so i see them everyday. I could possibly go with out seeing my mom Monday through Friday, but on the weekends we do so much together that it's like having her there with me when we go out. I don't like going out by myself at all its to scary for me now a days. My boyfriend if i don't see him everyday i at least talk to him everyday and more than once a day because hes sick right now and i keep asking him how he is feeling. I usually do go over and seem him almost everyday and every chance i can get to see him. Hes the man in my life and without him I'm not complete.
