faerietale Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hello all, I have several questions and need advice, please. - My boyfriend is leaving for work to Germany for 3 months. We've been apart before since his work requires him to travel a lot, but the most time we've been apart was just 2 weeks. Therefore, this will be like a long distance relationship and I'm worried about how we're going to communicate and how to avoid issues that will be due to the distance, etc. Any suggestions on how to make these 3 months go by faster and drama-free? - Also, I want to make him a "bon voyage" gift, something sentimental and sweet so he can take with him on the trip. I think something small and none-edible would be good so he can take with him on the plane, but I don't know what. Any ideas? Thank you in advance and I'm sure I'll be back on here once he does leave since I'll miss him so much. hahah Link to comment
disneyfan Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Aw, I'm sorry. I would be a wreck if my boyfriend had to leave for 3 months. I would suggest Skype. You can talk to him every night, by video or chat. I know the time difference is weird, but I'm sure you can work something out. Just remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. For a care package, I would definitely suggest a homemade CD of all your guys favorite songs, and maybe a few of his favorite DVD's to pass the time. 3 months isn't really all that long to be a part. I'm sure you guys can handle it. Link to comment
LonelyGirl10 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I dated a guy that spent a month in Argentina. The hardest part for me was that he treated it like a vacation kinda, and went out a lot at night. It was different than how he acted at home. So make sure you both talk about what expectations you have, and what's okay and what's not okay. Link to comment
faerietale Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Disneyfan: I am not looking forward to it either, but work is work so I have to just accept it. The time difference is weird, so I'm kind of worried about us not being able to coordinate your schedules, but I guess we'll have to see. Lonelygirl: Thank you for this advice. Link to comment
abitbroken Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 How long have you been together? I would give him photos of you, What he needs to be able to skype you, etc. Link to comment
