Dear Auntie Bettie, I've been with my darling boy for 2 and a half years, and I love him with all my might, but this at the moment is more of a trouble than a wonder because I miss him more than anything.
We get to see each other about once a month, but at the moment I would rather not see him once a month. I had quite a few plans for us this summer, but he's working a lot at the moment to save money so he can move out (he currently shares a mortgage with his super slack brother), so we can't do half of the things I'd like.
But because of his working, the couple of weeks I planned to go down to see him, he's working on call 3 times and every week day in addition to that, so I won't get to see him very much even then.
Sigh.
I guess I'm not really asking for advice, I just needed someone to moan to about it, and I guess this is a bit of an boring read, but I wondered if any of the pretty ladies (or handsome gents) on this forum are (or have) doing the long distance thing.

Yours, Zoe x

how long does he envisage having to work so much?

is he planning to move out to be nearer you, and will you see him more when this happens?

if i were you, i would work extra to put money in the same pot! are you going to move in together?

then work extra to help build up the deposit!

or work extra to keep your mind off it all... only way really.

i used to work shifts and live at home 1 week on, then 1 week away. so for for 3 and half years only really spent half that time with my partner and cats!

it is a pain. but needs must.

xxx

I think he plans to work a lot for the next year. And I really wish I could work to save some up, but unfortunately I'm on summer holiday from university and finding it difficult to find a job. Which is pants.

I want to move out and in with him in the next two years (I have one year on uni left), but I don't really want to move too far south, and he doesn't want to move too far north.

Like I know I'm not the first to go through this, and I won't be the last, but I'm just finding it really difficuly at the moment.
I still have so much I need/want to do (finish university obv, but also do my next ballet exam) in the next couple of years and I feel really bad demanding he comes to me while I do these things. Especially when he has a really good job where he is, and he's done the uni/moving out of mummys house/being a grown up.

I dunno. Sorry I'm just rambling now. Sorry
