Hi,
Just after any advice on coping strategies when apart from your partner.
I am recently married and blissfully happy in my relationship, but circumstances mean that we are having to spend 7weeks apart, 39days left til we are together again.
Now, obviously our relationship is strong, I trust him 100percent and all the rest of it.
The issue is simply that I miss him like crazy, if I let myself think about over a month left with him on the otherside of the world I think I will explode.
This is the first time we have been apart in the two years we have been together, and we have shared so much, I am just lost without him there to share the everyday with, laugh with, cuddle up with, and everything else.
I am spending the time with my family that are usually on the otherside of the world, so I am been kept busy, but my need to be close to him is making it so tough to really enjoy catching up with people I haven't seen in ages n enjoy myself.
Any coping strategies would be much appreciated!!

Oh, and invest in a bumper pack of batteries. If there's one thing an enforced separation gives you, it's the uncurable horn...
I find socializing helps to keep my mind off missing him. Doesn't stop me being a soft git and missing him though!
:yes: absolutely. Breaking it down day by day will seem like it's too long (so avoid counting the days if you can ) But if you try and give yourself something to look forward to week by week - like little milestones - it may well help. So perhaps try and plan something for every weekend for the next five or so weeks - really think about things that might not be possible/more difficult to fit around your time together when your husband gets back - e.g a spa session with some girly mates, a weekend of baking things you've never tried before (can be very time consuming!) gym sessions/aerobics classes - if you don't already do them (will boost your mood as well as improving fitness.)
