For those in a relationship... or even out of it

Its been nearly 3 months now, that i have been away from my girlfriend. Its really tough to be away for so long. waiting to get back home...

My hubby worked in the middle east and he signed a contract - 2years contract, but he is allowed for vacation after one (year) of service. Gosh!! that was a looong time, believe me I had sleepless nights! But then he often called me and we wrote letters (by Post)because we dont have computer that time to use the email. Mind you, we survive without seing each other for a year. Now he works in SE asian country which is near in our country. He can come home 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, in a year, but its on his own expense. Anyway, there are airlines now that offer cheap fares, so its possible now for him to travel often so that we could see each other. Also technology helps us to communicate and see each other thru webcam.

The longest period of time I spent apart from my husband (it was way back when we are still going steady) is four months. It is without any form of communication. He didn't like writing or even calling long distance so I thought it was over for us. I am so sad then missing him so much but can't do anything about it. I don't even know his family then so I have no news about him. I think I can tolerate not seeing my husband for a year as long as we can call each other or send text message everyday if he were to be some other place.

if work, its just 8 hours..but the longest time we were apart that made me missed him so much was a week..i cant really afford not to see him for a month, ill die of homesickness..lol

I miss my boyfriend the moment he leaves me. When we say goodnight I miss him and wish I could be with him again. If it is because of work I can deal with it and know I will talk to him and hear his voice at night and soon be together with him. I love my boyfriend and while I cannot imagine not being with him for one second I can deal with not seeing him because our hearts are connected.

In my experience, I usually spent my free time to a love one the longest time I can give. As an example, I did it every weekend. Im usually with her during sundays and gave my quality time for her. I make sure she will be happy everytime we are together =)

My spouse and I have been married for almost six years now and we do have one daughter for a child. As far as I can remember, the longest duration we've been away from each other as married couples is about more than a week only. This occurred when I was working here in the city while he had no choice but to stay in the province with my in-laws because he was tilling the land which he was allowed to for one harvest season. Hypocrisy aside, I think I could survive without seeing him for more than a year. But on his case, I don't think he could survive without me beside him even for a month. Back then, he couldn't take being away from me and often, he would resort to taking a bus trip going in the city where I work. I must admit that sometimes, I get irritated by his negative habits or attitude and vices. I guess I could say this now because I'm quite fed up and tired of the many times that I act and seem to be the breadwinner in the family. And like the famous cliche, it's hard to admit but I guess we're staying together "just for the sake of our child." I'm sorry I have to rant and vent because I just feel awful. Even when he still had a job, he never gave even half of his pay for me to budget. In fact, it's so irritating that he would even scrutinize and check me at work; and he even has to see the payslip and the salary I get from my job. Generally, I pay for our share of the house rent, and our share for the utilities. My salary also goes to pay for loans we have got to finance the plantation of crops years back, and to various individuals and credit card companies whom we are still indebted with. Anyway, thanks for this space that I was able to vent. Regards, friend.
