Day after day of not being able to be together in person is so hard. Even though we speak almost every day, it isn't the same as being able to see each other for real like any offline, close in location relationship.

How do you cope with missing each other?

:d

Are you in a long distance relationship?

I think you just need to try to keep busy, make sure you are seeing your friends etc and try not to spend too much time alone.
Its the quiet moments that get to you more, Communication is the only way to cope. Just look after yourself in all the other ways

How long has it been?
How long are you planning on being apart?

It has been 9 months and the distance and time difference sometimes hinder us to communicate as much as we can.He said he will be back soon.I kept on waiting.I am always busy at work but in the midst of my free time, i really miss him

Get busy, spend time with friends, go for a walk, even watch a movie (stay away from romantic movies) but to be honest with you,
you will still think abt him. You just got to deal with it.

^^ my dear bother thanks.I am here in Nairaland talking to all of you,It feels good even he's not with me because I feel the warmth friendship,knowing that most of you here are his country people.

what matters is not really being in a distance relationship, you need to know what that relationship has gat to offer you
just be sure it is for real

@mediatrix,eyah mami don't worry,he'll soon be wiv you and you won't miss him again u hear?meanwhile just stay busy.

D tym u v waited is nt up2 d ones u v left
n pls dont try 2 get close 2 anyoda 4 now cos u ll lustfully go wrong

Being into a long distance relationship is like a roller coaster, the ups and downs, and the emotional hangover that comes along is really painful and annoying. But then we have to deal with it.

Our life does not only turn around entirely with our partner. We do have our own life to live for and there are a lot of things that we have to achieve and enjoy apart from being with our loved ones. I understand what you are going through. As for me, sending him romantic messages, jokes and e-mail were part of my daily routine. I keep myself busy, goes out with friends, watch movies and TV series. And at times, I pamper myself by going out for shopping; try new outfits just to have something to look forward.

Though the list is just temporary, coping up and avoiding loneliness depends on you. Make yourself happy; after all, happiness is a choice.

Thanks for your response ,Yes,I believe it's for real.We can't be together for 3 years if the love that bind between us is not strong and real.I am looking forward to our special day being one.

9 months is a long time especially if you guys were sexually involved before he travelled
Have you considered going to visit him?
What happens if he doesn't make good on the promise of seeing you before xmas?
Nothing more you can do to be honest as you guys already communicate daily.

Jayvee,Yes in deed long enough.I would love to visit him in Nigeria but I have no chance because of my work.I am waiting for him to come back before Christmas as he promised me but if there are things will happen beyond his control and he can't come back it's ok with me.But our plan is to visit my country together during the spring Festival that will be February,and then will visit Nigeria in Summer,August for our wedding.We communicate daily,I have trust in him as he do to me.
