I've been in a long distance relationship for a little while now (though my boyfriend is finally moving back to the UK in six months!) and I really do mean long distance - he's in Singapore and I'm here in miserable old England. Not that I'm bitter about the constant warm weather they have...
Anyway, we make the distance work but the incredibly expensive flights and 14 hour long flights mean that we generally only get to see each other a few times a year. I'm visiting him this month and staying for 2.5 weeks. We've booked a week away together, but apart from this, he's working most of the time I'm there.
I don't want to force him to take all his days off now just because I'm visiting, and he needs to save some so that we can go away again in a few months, but AIBU to be somewhat annoyed that I'm travelling halfway round the world and he'll be at work from 9-6 each day? I thought he'd booked an extra 3 days off but speaking to him last night, it's only 1. He also usually goes to the gym either before or after work for around 2 hours, again I don't want to stop him from doing this but what about me?
Overall, I'd be on my own for 6 days. Originally I wasn't too fussed as I have some friends from uni who live there so I planned to meet up with them, but by some strange coincidence they're all out of the country whilst I'm there. Singapore itself is really small and there's not that much to do - most of the attractions there I have already been too, or will be going to with him in the evenings/weekends. I really do need to do some revision for upcoming exams, but am I travelling halfway round the world to study stuff which I could learn at home?
He is living with his parents at the moment, both of whom are retired so are home all day, which makes me feel a bit uncomfortable just hanging out around the house. They're lovely but the culture is very different to here and basically, I don't think I could spend the whole day with them. Trying not to sound arrogant, but the typical British style of 'do whatever the guest wants' doesn't really hold over there - it's very much their house (fair enough) and there are all these different 'rules' which I don't really know/understand, so I'm always worried about doing something wrong. Last time I was there, my boyfriend's mum complained to him because I left the lid of my suitcase open one day 
Really not sure what to do here. I'd accepted the fact he has to work some of the time, but 6 days is quite a lot more than I expected. I feel like I signed up for this as I said he could work some of the days I'm there, but I'm dreading the thought of spending 6 long days alone. Last time I was there, he worked for one day and I spent the most of that day aimlessly walking around, incredibly bored!
