I am in a long distance relationship and have been for three years. We see eachother off and on, sometimes for longer than others. Anyways though, we just spent the weekend together and I just got home from the airport and now I'm just really down in the dumps. Anybody have any ideas of how I can get my mind off missing him? Or can anybody relate? I just don't want to stress out about it. I know we'll see eachother soon, it just never seems soon enough, ya know?

Im feeling the EXACT same way right now! My boyfriend is in the Marines and it feels like the time we do spend togeather is never long enough. I feel like in a way its like a big tease. When we are togeather everything is perfect and then I have to either help him pack or get ready for my flight. It feels like even though you just seen him its ganna be forever till the next time you do. I always wish time would just stop when we are togeather n it breaks my heart always having to say goodbye. Sometimes I feel like Im too emotional for this but this is what makes me stronger.
& Dont you get frusterated sometimes, like after a long stressful day at work all you wanna do is come home from work and relax on the couch with your man? I feel like being in a long distance relationship make you cherish all of little things people normally take for granted, like a kiss every morning.
My best advice, take some deep breaths and clear your mind of all of those crazy emotions. Try taking a yoga class. You are strong and in the end the wait is all worth it!!
Wipe your tears n keep your head up!!

I know exactly how you feel. I just got out of a relationship which had 4 years of long distance, and I used to feel exactly the same way. I think the best thing is to go do something fun. Go hang out with some friends or read a book or whatever you like to do. That way you can look forward to seeing him again, but you don't have to feel down in the dumps when he's not around.

I cant determine weather it will work in the long run or not. No one can but you and her. But I am in a long distance relationship and have been for awhile so I can offer advice on it. first of all, both of you have to be committed to the relationship. there are good ways to keep in contact. emails, phone, skype (very good). Of course you have to work out the time difference. But keep in contact during the periods you cant be around one another. not seeing each other for a long time is very hard. But finally getting to spend time together again is really great. Makes you appreciate the relationship more and you get very excited about seeing each other again. If it is only for the summer and then you can spend as much time as you want together in September...thats pretty good. I would consider trying to go to the states for about 2 weeks,.or 1 and half. Its a long flight and you will be jet lagged so you do lose time because of it. Main thing is be committed, keep in contact and appreciate the time that you do have together. Hope that helped.

Aww my, I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Do some things to get your mind off of it. Do some physical/outdoor activities, treat yourself to some thing, call up a girlfriend, take a hot bath, read a good book, watch a good movie, go out with some friends.
You two made it this far. I know a couple now happily married who engaged in a long-distance relationship for years after high school because they had to go to college. They have two beautiful, successful children, and are so happy.
I'll be okay. For now, do something to get your mind off of it.

its natural for you to feel a little disconnected and weird for the next few days, 3but trust me, it will settle down to a more controllable level within the week.
my advice is for you to hang out with your local friends as soon as possible. catch up with a good friend and chat with her.
and be social with people even family if you can, as its better than starring at your computer/phone thinking about him 24/7 all by yourself. you'll feel better in a few days dear.
i hope it all works out really good for you. (-:

i think you both need to sit down and make some long term plans --- someone is going to need to move closer to the other on a permanent basis --- i am in the same boat except that we have not yet met and i want her to come home with me (she is happy to do that) ----- best wishes
