Thanks loads for reading my question & answering xxx

Answer 1

Now's your chance to hang out with some of your gals. You live in England, go shopping. Get a job, get involved with the community, my advice hunny, don't sit with ben and jerry in front of a TV that reminds you of him.. Get some exercises going, so when he gets back, he can not only look at your pretty face, but the hott 6-pack abs you just created
Good luck =)

Answer 2

First of all it is okay to feel sad and miss someone. That shows that you care for him. To make time go by faster and ease the pain try and stay busy with friends and family. A good thing to do is throw yourself into a project at school or work. You can direct your feelings into the project and you will be amazed at what you accomplish.

Even though you are 14 hours a way from one another you can still talk, IM, e-mail, or write each other. You can share each others day with each other.

Three weeks is nothing and time will fly if you keep busy. This is a great time to get closer to your family. So use the time wisely and take advantage of him being gone.

Turn it into a positive and just think how good it will be to see him in three weeks!

Hiya,

Well can you link up on MSn Messenger?

If you can't sleep, you might as well plan some of the upcoming week's menus...and listening to movies in the background to keep one's self from being lonely.

Plan nights out, Xmas Functions, Cinema,
Gym evenings
Online shopping
DVD Nights
Ebay Nights

Or you can pass the time away on Yahoo Answers

Hope time passes quickly

Just keep yourself busy. Have a couple "girls nights" while he's away. Or just enjoy the quiet time by yourself a little. Just keep busy. The busier you are the less time you have to think about how long he will be away. You are still going to miss him, and you'll still have your sad moments, that is unavoidable, but take some time for yourself or maybe some friends or family you may have been neglecting lately and enjoy!!! I know how you are feeling. 5 months ago my boyfriend left with the US military. He comes home on Thursday. I made it through, you will to!!! :)

Answer 5

Hi there!

I feel for you. It will be hardest in the begining but you will get used to it. Plan ahead. Catch up with mates. Pamper yourself. Book a manicure, hair cut, pedicure. Make sure you spend your time round friends/family to take your mind off things,especially week-ends. I used to spend all summer away from my boyfriend as he lived abroad and studied here. Keep focused and don't let your mind wander. It's hard, especially when he rings so keep the conversations light and even if you feel miserable..... then he will be counting the days before he comes home to you! Nothing worse than bad feeling when you are in different countries.

You will be fine. Stay strong and get busy catching up with your mates.

Answer 6

It's great that you love him enough that you're worried about how much you'll miss him. But it's just a simple fact of life that you are going to miss him. But another fact of life is that you'll make it. You won't think so at times, but you will. And don't fight it. If you're sad and lonely, go ahead and be sad and lonely - get it out of your system. Listen to your favorite songs. Hold his picture. Write him a long love letter, and it doesn't really matter whether you mail it or not. Think good thoughts about him. But most important, be careful not to hang around guys who might take advantage of the situation. It can lead to trouble. Don't worry, you'll do fine.

Answer 7

You are not alone. I found other people with the same problem. Well, when my wife is gone for long, I try to do a major project to keep me occupied. Once I cleaned the whole house, another time I organized all the photos in the house, and yet another time, I learned how to edit video. So find something that will consume you - he will be pleasantly surprised with whatever you accomplish.

Answer 8

It will be a long 3 weeks i cant even stand it when im away from my bf for a week. but to get your mind off him for those 3 weeks is that you can do things with friends, go shopping, better yet get him a late xmas gift for him so when he gets back from P.I. he has you and the gift to come home to. You can go to the movies with friends, hang out at friends houses. But just keep him in mind a little bit and i know you will miss him but if you keep yourself busy those 3 weeks will go by so quickly you wouldnt believe it.

Answer 9

You will miss him, but three weeks isn't forever! My husband used to work overseas for a month at a time, and it was horrible, but I started keeping a diary for him making notes of what I'd been doing and trying to think of funny things to tell him - it made me go and do things rather than sitting around moping because it made for a really boring diary entry if I hadn't done anything! He really liked reading it all when he came home too.
