If its 2 days, seek help
If its a week, its understandable but you'll survive
If its a month, then your concern's are understandable.

I should probably seek help in the form of a hobby of some type. It just gets lonely, and he is taking the dog with him. So he is leaving me with the 2 anti-social cats.
:p

I thought neffing on ATOT was your hobby? :) :p

Don't worry, you'll be fine. Unless you start dressing up the cats or something. Then I'd worry. :p

Hmmm, never thought of that before. I could print out a picture of my bf's face and tape it on Pinky the Cat.

If you do end up going crazy and doing that, you must post pics of course. :laugh:

And wouldn't you know it, she walked into my office right as I was typing this up. :p

God, having a girl who actually loves you sure is a burden, huh? :roll:

Well, faithfulness aside, when you don't see the relationsihp as being long term (say parting ways when I get my BS) and you think she'd just about kill herself if you left her... ya, it can be kind of a burden.

Maybe you should sit down and have a serious talk with her, let her know you are not serious about her instead of leading her on

That'll put a whole different spin on your weekend.

I may be dodgy, but I am not a transvestite.

Oh, you're a guy. Well in that case, just substitute the appropriate accouterment and roll out!

So you don't see the relationship as long term, but she does? I guess I thought that relationships were supposed to be something that you enjoyed forever with the person that you love.

It is good to be devoted to you SO, but to have your life revolve around them is not good.

I tend to agree. It risks putting you in a bad situation if anything goes wrong in the relationship. While there is not problem spending alot of time with a significant other, you should have some semblance of your own life. No one enjoys seening theire SO leave for an extended period of time, however getting depressed over it isn't good, and I would say it is a sign they you may be overly dependant on that person.

Yes. And it's not the healthiest thing for you. You need to be able to be happy on your own to be successful in a relationship.

It's not a good feeling. Once you are used to someone being there, whenever they are not, it feels awkward.

no kidding it's a dependency thing. you need some outside interests. it's good for your mental health.

Seriously... take up a sport or hobby or something. Anything that interests you even a little.

I don't think it's a big dependancy thing. I was the same way with my ex-gf. But I never had a problem like, "What is there to do" when she left. I mostly enjoyed the freedom by being with my other friends, playing video games, watching movies.

=0) Enjoy your time, I'm sure he will to.

Couple weeks ago my wife spent the night in the hospital with her sister...was probably the first night in over 6 months we haven't been together. I thought it would be pretty awesome having the whole bed to myself, but actually I didn't sleep well.

When she's there, I'm usually on the computer or messing around b/c she's very busy with school right now (master's thesis DOH!). When she leaves, I can't find it in me to sit around for long. I get lonely and bored quick! I usually call some friends and get the heck outta dodge. That or I'll invite the boys over for a card game and some drinking.

Um, stock up on batteries.....


Try a local Al-anon group.

Volunteer at a local homeless shelter?

Go for a 40 mile bike ride. The rest of the day will be spent in recovery.
