I don't know how much time you guys have to spend apart, but I understand. My boyfriend is in the military, and deploys for extended periods of time. It's great that you remind yourself that you will see him again soon... but don't let it control your life. You'll end up really needy and dependent, and that doesn't work well in many relationships. Take up a hobby that you would enjoy, that you know he would not. Maybe dance lessons, or a cooking class! Doing something productive that you know you don't need him there for helps a TON! But, I have to admit, we all have our little moments of weakness. This sounds totally cheesy, but whenever my boyfriend is gone, and I start missing him, I like to listen to listen to "Evr'y Time We Say Goodbye" by Cole Porter haha... dorky, I know:)
You're just in the honeymoon phase of your relationship so naturally spending time together is in the forefront of your mind. The best remedy I found was just doing stuff I enjoyed before, particularly hanging out with my own friends seperate from him. Even if seeing him is the best part of your day, you'll find doing anything at all will be more enjoyable than moping around, plus it will pass the time quicker!
You're basically totally dependent on him which isn't good. You are totally in love with him which is great but you need to be more independent. Try to hang out with your girls once a week, or do something alone or with people that aren't him once or twice a week. You don't have to lose him but in a relationship it should be two independent people! So try doing some stuff without him.
ive actually felt like that before too! one thing you could do is start hanging out with friends. and take a break from him. it helped me alot. me and my boy use to hang serioulsy everyday and I thought I don't want things to get boring or old so I took a break. we hang out about everyother day almost which I still think is a lot but I've learned to balance out my friends and him.
Well, I know exactly how you feel first off :/ My girlfriend is working away for the entire summer, and I haven't seen her in over 2 months. You're feeling this way because your love for him is strong, and while he's away, you're not able to do the things you love with him, therefore you miss him even more and it's just a vicious cycle. The way I do it is to call up one of my friends and hang out with them for awhile, it helps you forget about your boyfriend being away, therefore making you happy! And also exercise is a great way to relieve stress, go for a nice walk or bike ride or go rollerblading or whatever you enjoy doing physically. Hope I helped. ^_^
