Something to keep my mind off it!?!
My boyfriend went to germany for 2 week for school, and it's only been 3 days and i'm already going insane. being alone in our apartment makes me miss him soo much more, and i'm bored beyond belief! any tips to keep me occupied and my mind off of him. i'm a bit of a worry-wart =/
Re: Something to keep my mind off it!?!
Watch movies, get a book, go for a walk... What do you like to do on your own?
Personally, when I have time to myself I like to take the dog to the park, catch up with friends, clean the house, work out, and go shopping.
Same with me... my husband is barely home and it's rather nice to have time to myself. As much as I love him, I love the time I have to focus on things for myself. It strengthens myself as an individual-- too many people get caught up in relationships and you lose your sense of self.
haha, you just made me laugh.
How did you manage to get pg when DH is gone so much?
Glad to hear that worked... that's been something I've been wondering since DH is never home either! We aren't there yet but I was trying to figure it out.
Well he's not gone 3 weeks out of every month- just some months. And he's always home on at least a Saturday if not a Saturday and Sunday!
Some months he has off from traveling, but he is generally gone 1 week a month.
Once you figure your body and cycle out you'll be able to get an idea of timing as well
I actually LOL'ed at this. Thanks, Punky!
Mine was gone from end of January thru mid April, every week.... but it's slowing down right now. Typically, he's gone 3 out of 4 weeks a month! And yes, home Saturday and Sunday too most of the time. I was just talking to someone about it and thinking "gee, that sounds like it will be tough!".
Awww, I understand.
I would absolutely hate it if MH was gone for two weeks.
Try not to worry, though. I am sure he will fine. Whenever you find your mind wandering in that direction, tell yourself "it's all going to be fine" and immediately start doing something else.
Do you have any hobbies? I just started crocheting which is great.
Do you have friends that live close? Go out to lunch/dinner, take in a movie, invite them over for girls night (movies, wine, laughing?), go to the mall.
If not, maybe make some new friends. Take an art class or something else offered in your area?
Do you have a dog? Go for long walks, take he/she to a dog park, get them out of the apartment.
Start nesting some more. :-) Laugh at the snark of the regulars on FM, ML and Relationships. They're a bit jaded.
GL! :-)
