Is it normal to miss my boyfriend this much?

Well my boyfriend/best friend & I have been together 1 year 9 months. In the beginning we would see eachother whenever we could which was maybe 4 times a week. Things changed & now I only see him once a week. Whenever I leave him I break down into tears cause I know I won't see him for another 6 days. We live 1 hour apart & he works ALL the time...72 hours per week to be exact. So there's no time. It's like I get extremely sad like I'm not gonna see him for months & months!! It's hard to get through the weeks w/o him. Is this normal??

    I understand. My husbands job keeps him away 2 weeks at a time. Then he is home for 2 weeks, and we spend as much time together as we can. His job is 1000 miles away, they fly him back and forth... I can empathize with you and guess what? It means you love him. You miss him and you want to be with him. There is nothing wrong with that, at all!

    For your boyfriend to work so much and then with the hour distance it's tough on a relationship. However, breaking down into tears isn't healthy. Maybe you'r too dependant on him. I know what it's like to miss a boyfriend and have to go a while before seeing that person again, what actually helps is if you do something wholeheartedly to take your mind off of your boyfriend's absence. And if all else fails and you realize that yuo spend more of your time being sad than you are happy, maybe it's time for you to break it off with him. Relationships are hard but they aren't supposed to make you miserable either.

    Good luck!

    I can't say it's normal, but I do it.
    My boyfriend just left for two weeks, three hours later I'm still crying. Aha

    It's not normal. 6 days is a quite a while, but the idea that you're still together, knowing that you will definitely see him, and see him somewhat often should keep you content.

    From my experience, long distance relationships don't work well most of the time. There's just less time, less bonding, and less attention being given to both people, and as a result of that many couples end up cheating on each other, or completely dumping their lover.

    It sounds like this long distance relationship isn't for you because you're not adjusting to it well. Talk it over with your boyfriend deeply.
