Two voices take turns appearing in my head. A tells me to be strong to wait him home. B tells me do not make myself so painful,just ask him to find another job. My borfriend always on trip for his job,and it has been my habit to wait him home.It make me painful.

i think your boyfriend is either in the airline business or a seaman, that's why he travels a lot? It depends in the situation you're in, if he's not yet stable or if he's new to the job still gaining experience then you can't just ask him to find another job, you need to be patient with him. But if he's an old employee then maybe you can ask him. But before you do that, better ask him of his opinion, if he's happy there, etc. It's hard to wait but you should weigh things, not everything will be about you, it has to be about both of you. If you two are planning to settle down soon, then let him have his last trip before he find another job, because it will be difficult to start a family when both of you are far away, but if you're not yet planning it, let him save up first.

a programmer that travels a lot? I don't know there's a programmer that is always on the go... the only thing you could do now is to be strong and wait for him, since you plan to get married after 2years, let him save up first so you'll be stable once you get married.

He's a programmer,and it's his second year out for work. As to it,it's not a wise choice to ask him to find another job. We plan to get marry in 2015. Seems nothing i can do but learn to be strong.

It is hard to be in such relationship. But if you really love him, then you will support him with his job. Be strong and never pollute your mind with negative things. Don't get worried and keep on waiting for him to come back. Do things that will keep you busy. Help yourself to remain independent.

After all it is his job and I believe he is working in marketing Department and sales people are always on move.

Perhaps it comes down to how strong do you feel about him. I'd think if it's strong enough, distance won't matter and it won't feel painful to wait for him. Then again, you seem young, so perhaps you don't feel that strongly about this relationship and you'd like to open yourself to others still at this stage of life.

I'm sure he's my Mr right and the only one i want to get married with. It's just sometimes i miss him so much,that feeling makes me feel so desperate.

As you mentioned your boy friend is in need to change his place and travel frequently due to his job. Surely you will miss him while he is travelling. What to do? You must tolerate this due to his job.

Why do you worry so much. He is travelling for job sake nothing else. Its good for your future only. This time when he comes tell him how you feel. A relationship becomes much stronger when you share everything with each other. May be after listening to u he might find a better solution.

Well that is one test to know how much you love him and vice versa. But honestly, I myself won't be happy if my bf always travels and I am left alone. I want my loved one to be with me most of the time and that won't be possible of course if he always travels. If you feel deprived because of his being away most of the time, I think you should ask him to find a job that won't require him to travel. Life is short, remember?
