How to not miss he so much?

[Anonymous]

The last time I seen my girlfriend was on September 5th, when I took a week off to spend time with her for her birthday. At the beginning of this year her family move to a new State to be closer to her mom's parents We already knew we wasn't gonna be able to spend Thanksgiving together. But lately I've been miss her to the point I'm crying myself to sleep. I miss date nights, I miss game nights, just driving around town, I miss movie nights, I miss days when we would just stay in bed and cuddle. Even though we talk all the time and we try to facetime\zoom a lot, it's not the same as having her here with me. How can I stop missing her so much.

Awww man I feel you bruh. It’s alright and understandable you miss your lady, I would to so much if had gone away from that long and haven’t seen her since September and it’s December now ohh man I know you miss her.

Long distance is the worst. I know exactly how you're feeling, believe me. There's nothing like having your girl right there with you. But here's some things that might help when you're missing her real bad:

- Focus on the memories you DO have. Pull up old photos of you two together and remind yourself of all the good times you've shared. It'll help take the edge off missing the present.

- Send care packages back and forth. Put together a box of her favorite snacks, a new video game you can play together online, a Mix CD of songs that remind you of her - little things that'll make her smile and feel close even from far away.

- Have video dates where you cook/eat the same meal together or watch a movie at the same time on Netflix party. Keeps you interacting in real time.

- Communicate how you're feeling instead of bottling it up. Let her comfort you and give you something to look forward to, like date for when you can visit next.

- Fill your time with hobbies, bros, video games - anything that take your mind off missing her for a bit. Don't just sit around depressed.

It sucks balls but stay strong - this is just temporary. Keep making new memories to look back on till you're together again. You got this man!

I had a long distance relationship when I was in college. I used to miss her every day. It was before the internet and video chat. We wrote letter to each other. It went on for 3 years before I broke up with her, I think she lost interest anyway. She didn't eve seem to broken up when I broke up with her over the phone.
