How do you handle not seeing your SO for a while?

I’m interested to know what you do, in order to keep your relationship going smoothly. My boyfriend and I usually see each other once a week, but in this past month I’ve only gotten to see him once- and he’s going away soon again, so things have been slightly more difficult lately. We don’t have petty fights, but I sure do get down not seeing him regularly, and he doesn’t express affection often which can lead to some misunderstood feelings.

well i had kids when she went to a principal convention at the state capital now and then and that's a while different curve ball. I generally resented it. We didn't have mobiles personally then. Pagers were just coming on the scene

Track them down and bust through a wall like the cool-aid (OH YEAH!) man before ruthlessly hug attacking them.

I don't deal with absence well at all, it usually leads to arguments.

If I wanted to feel single, I'd be single.

@SW-User Yeah that’s exactly it. It’s not like I need to see him every day, but once or twice a week. So not having spent any more than 2 hours with him once in 3 weeks is frustrating!

Call him on the phone, and maybe, if you can, video chat with him too, if you're both able to get an app on your phones for that.
