OK so i am pretty devestated and will be suffering from sleep deprivation for the next 7 days....

My boyfriend is shooting a film next week and is out of town for 7 days... I can't sleep without him.. my bed feels lonley. I knew we should of gotten a puppy or something... It will be so lonely and i will be sooo sad... Any suggestions on things to do to keep me busy while he is gone... AND please keep it clean..

Have you got a or a hot water bottle maybe?

When I read the title of this thread, I thought he was leaving forever!!!

Glad he is not, honey you will be fine...

REDFEATHERS said:

Yeah, me too.

So it's not that bad at all.

shut up



nah, just kidding BabyCakes. I think the only thing you can do is try and keep busy
as possible.

for example, at night you could spend a while longer in the gym than usual. That way
you'll be busy and once you get home you'll also be more tired than normal which will
help you get to sleep better.

or relax at home with some favorit snacks and watch those dvd's or video's that your
boyfriend HATES and which you just ache to watch over and over again. (like perhaps
under the cherry moon lol).

or arrange to sleep over at a friend's house on wednesday or have a friend stay over
at your house that night. that way you'll have something to look forward to at the
middle of the week. and after that it's only a few more days before your boyfriend is
back in town.

Groovy!!

I still haven't gotten a copy of my play from the guy who taped it!!! To top it off, I found out from his sister that he didn't tape the whole thing!!!

In all seriousness, hang in there. I know it must be tough. My girlfriend is going up to your neck of the woods for a few days at the end of the month, and I'm pretty sad about it. I wish I could go with her, but its just not an option right now. So sad

1)Hit the gym. Always feels good, refreshing.
2)Cop a Dean Koontz novel. I recommend 'Intensity'. You won't be able to put it down! (Well, you may have nightmares too, but I digress )
3)If you have XBox Live, I could whoop your tail in some Madden, and though that wouldn't necessarily make you feel good about yourself, it would be fun for me!
4)Do something creative. Sometimes on rainy days, my wife and I will go get some coloring books and just go at it. Oh yeah, then we'll color.

JediMaster said:

She shoudl stop by and see me COMPANY!!!!!

OdysseyMiles said:

I don't have X-box, but i do have PS2.. Maybe i could play some sims again or my grand theft auto for a while.. My attention span is short, so i will probably be bored after a while..

Thanks for your suggestions.. I appreciate them..

BabyCakes said:

I love having time for myself!!!!

If I were you I would be planning on a massage, a manicure, and a pedicure.. Some book reading, a hot bath..

Maybe visiting 2the9s!

Heaven forbid!!!

UPDATE.. well he is gone and i have cried most of the afternoon.. and now most of the eveing.. It feels so lonely in here without him. I didn't think it would effect me this much. 6 more days and counting. Have most of my week booked already so hopefully it will be easier.

Going for a massage on Thursday, taking up Sag's idea...

Im so sorry
I really know how it is
My boyfriend left today for a business trip. It hurts because we've been together everyday since we met
And he's in the army too so when he went away for a year I was a mess

We have a dog but it doesnt help,she whines and waits by the door for him


I listen to music,read some really good books and write stories
writing really helps the time pass
When I had AOL I would go into chat rooms...


Ok maybe Im not a big help cuz I still think of him when Im trying not to

ThreadCula said:

Thank you sweetie. It is worse as the night goes on... cause that is usually when we are together the most.. and sleeping will be most difficult, when he isn't there next to me. I am bound for a huge bout of sleeplessness for the next 7 days! Thank you for your ideas. I hope your doing OK too!!!

PS I wish we had a puppy too, however he did tell me when he gets back, he wants to get married..... I thought for sure it would be a while before that happens, but maybe it will be sooner than i thought!

That is so sweet. Congrats!!

I hope u sleep well...I usually sleep with one of his shirts with cologne on it

And just imagine how happy u'll be when he comes home

Keep us updated

ThreadCula said:

I will!!!! AND i did plan on sleeping with someone of his! Thanks again..

BabyCakes said:

Someone!!!!

JediMaster said:

Woops i meant SOMETHING of his.. only you would catch that..

BabyCakes said:

your freudian slip must have been showing.

Ashtheking said:
