How do you cope with your partner being away for work or other reasons?

[Guest TheLittlestMouse]

My fiance is currently in FL for work and i miss him dearly. He was going to be gone for 1 week but now they have a kitchen to do so it will be 2 weeks. This has been the longest and farthest we have been apart in the 4yrs we have been together and i don't know how to act. I don't know how to deal with it.

 

I want to cry but what good will that do?

 

Any advice would be great!

 

Thanks!

Hmm skype calls or discord calls, texting on kik or face timing. Maybe watching something together on rabbit.

I suggest trying to do things to entertain yourself, so watching your favourite movies and snuggling under a blankie with your stuffies or whatever. Also try going on Pinterest and looking for crafts to do, if you like crafts. And try and do things big you likes to do as well, so watch horror movies, and maybe go out on a walk and do some photography for your Daddy to show him when he gets back. I hope this helps, and that the two weeks fly by super fast!

Sadly my daddy live 6 hours from me and when he has to go back home after visits it's very upsetting. But we Skype every night and as much as we can during the day. he reads me bed time stores over Skype and Stays on till I fall asleep and some nights all night so he is there when I wake up it helps some with the distance.

I'm lucky to have my Daddy with me everyday, he works nights so him being gone at bedtime kinda makes me miss him a lot more. I think of all the things that his job allows us to do, lights water food. Basic needs and some wants, everyday living expenses. Wouldn't be able to have any of these if he didn't work so when I go to missing him I message him and he sends me all kinda cute stickers and gifs on Facebook messenger. Makes me feel closer to him til I'm waking up and he's coming in from work. I preoccupy myself with crafts and TV and I'm a mama so that keeps me really really busy by itself.

Going to be blunt. You get on with life. You do what you normally do. Routine helps. Sitting around feeling sad and focusing on how long it's been doesn't. 

 

Talk to him as much as you can, and maybe even ask him for tasks so you can still feel like you're doing things for him. Do what you normally do during the day, and if you feel yourself getting sad, find a way to keep busy. Pinterest, like mentioned before, is awesome. Find some things to make for, or to impress, your partner when he comes back. Keep yourself busy and keep a routine as best you can, and try not to focus on being upset.

It sounds silly but what I like to do is pretend that he is right there- when I keep myself busy or do things and do chores I need to do I think of how proud he would be of me and how much he would praise me, it actually helps a huge amount especially on those days where I don't want to do anything but sulk

My Daddy works away from home for 28 days at a time and is only home for three days at a time. I usually have to keep myself distracted a lot. I also don't go into littlespace like I would like to, but I still do. It's definitely hard but that is the only advice I can give: *Distraction*

My daddy is going away for nearly a month from tomorrow. Haven’t been away from him for such a long stretch of time before. Any recommendations how to deal with it? Going to miss him so much. We can still Skype and message now and again but it’s never the same as actually being together. I need to be a big girl as I am looking after his house whilst he is away but I also want to have Little time too.

I have a bunch of videos that my Daddy sent me of him saved on my phone that always help me when I miss him. Maybe you could ask for a nice video that you could watch to make you feel better
