To miss my bf terribly after 10 days

[cocavino]

I am on a very long family trip away from my boyfriend of 5 months. We are halfway through. I keep thinking of how much I miss him and want to be with him. Is this abnormal?

Not abnormal!

Not particularly.

Weird question

It’s normal if you’re a teenager and in luurve.

Yes. Really abnormal. Most people don’t like to see their partners.

I only get to see my partner one day a week, i'm like this all the time. Occasionally something comes up (like one of us gets ill) and we have to skip a week, by day 10 im climbing the walls. Coming up on 2 years together.

@AlmostAJillSandwich I'm do sorry. This feels like torture, very frustrating.

Torture? Really? Have a word with yourself.

Are you really asking if it's normal to miss someone you love, really?

@Aquamarine1029 so that's a yes?

@MbatataOwl well, some here seem to think it's unreasonable. I worry about being too dependent, but I do love him and enjoy his companionship

Is this a trick question? Wouldn’t it be weird not to miss him?

@Rickrollme I have had a hell of a few years. I had a long distance relationship for a while with my last ex (of 10 years) and he never seemed to miss me at all. I feel sort of as if it's abnormal to be too attached. Hence the question.

Miss as in it would be mice to see him and you're looking forward to it or miss as in you're pining for him and not enjoying activities with your family because all you can think about is him?

@RealBecca i think a combination? I am enjoying activities with my family and am putting spending time with them first (so not slinking off for chats with him instead of engaging). But I spend a lot of dead time here (hours a day) riding in cars etc where I have time to reflect and pine.

Miss? Fine and normal.

Torture? You need to think about that.

I know what you mean I think, sick feeling? Sick with love I think they call it?

I’ve always missed my DH terribly when he or I go away. It doesn’t stop us going, we both regularly holiday with friends, but I still get (secretly) upset and miss him even on a 2-3 day trip.

When I was 18 I went away on a girls holiday for 2 weeks (we’ve been together since high school) honestly I hated it, I missed him so much it felt like an effort to have fun.

Now I’m older and much more settled I thoroughly enjoy breaks with my friends but wouldn’t go longer than a week.

How old are you?

After about a week away from my husband I'd say my feeling move from missing a bit to actual longing which can feel tortuous. I happen to adore him and feel that most moments in life are enhanced with his presence so why wouldn't I miss him when I'm on holiday?

Out of interest, how old are you op?

I'm in my 40s.

@Pippa12 it's probably a 'sick with love feeling'. It's still early days. I think that we are both amazed to have found a relationship that seems to be so good.

I mean, it's a relatively new relationship and you're still loved-up, so I'd say it's fairly normal to be missing someone at this point. Not to the point of being distraught and crying or anything, or ruining your holiday and stopping you from enjoying other things, but I'd say very normal to be thinking about them, looking forward to seeing them again, getting excited to receive a message from them etc.

The current vote is that I am being unreasonable, but comments here say the opposite overall! What's unreasonable about it?

Sounds like your 14.

I'm pregnant and my husband has been away from home for 6 months (great timing!) it's perfectly normal to miss your partner, and I have to remind myself that just because I'm used to longer distances and time apart, doesn't mean its any better for anyone else ❤️ of course it's okay.
