Haven't seen him in a month and a half. Does he miss me or is he forgetting me??

I saw something on FB that made me think. It said "The hardest thing about being far apart, is no knowing if he is missing me or forgetting me." This made me think and it made me worry. I hate to say it because I know that I should be secure in my relationship which most times I am. So my BF is in Mexico City working. We live in the US but with jobs so scarce he had to start sending resumes to Mexico too. Turns out he got a contract job working over there for 3 months. It was lucky for us because he is getting paid about 3 grand a month PLUS expenses. This is very good pay when you consider the economy. But I have to say the separation has been a bit hard. We communicate via chat a few times a month. Not nightly because where he is there is not always a good connection. For two weeks he was in an area that had free wi-fi and he would go there every night so we could chat a few hours. Now he is farther and it's been over a week since we got online together. Sometimes I wonder if he misses me or is in fact forgetting about me.

You have to have faith in your love. If you don't then you are doomed to failure. Without reason to suspect otherwise then, I would say just trust that he is missing you and being faithful. It sounds like that when he is able, contacts you whenever he can. I don't think you should worry as it will make the moments you do have together more stressfull than they need be. Just enjoy and appreciate all the moments you do have.

I think you both has strong love because I could see how he still spares his time to go on the internet in the night time after long day working to spend some time with you therefore you should not be worry. I know little bit worry is OK, it's natural and normal it's part of love and the consequences from having long distance relationship but don't let that worry go deep down on you and took fun from your life. The most important for you is TRUST, keep the trust strong because whatever you put in your mind (positive or negative) more or less it will impact your relationship. I am sure he misses you very much the same because if he doesn't he will just go straight to bed instead of go to internet when he done working. so again don't worry so much, stay positive and it will strengthen your relationship and your each other love. If you wonder next time he has a chance to get online you can ask him whether he misses you or not if it helps you to stop being worry.

you said he is still communicating with you then i think he misses you too. you need to trust him because what he is doing is for you too. if you are longing for him because he is far away then think also that he is also sacrificing being away from home. think positive and don't allow negativity come in you. if you have doubt then talk to him. an open communication will definitely help any relationship. goodluck and happy mylotting.

You are totally right. Seriously I don't know what I am thinking. I think the problem is that without him here I have to much time on my hands. I obviously need to put that time to good use and stop inventing problems. And you are right when you say all I need to do is ask..DUH..... thanks for making me feel better and letting me know I am being a dorko...

what bjc66bjc said is really correct. if you speak with him next time better ask to him straight. you said the connection is not proper there. i think he is not able to communicate with you for that reason too. don't stress yourself and don't keep things in your mind. better ask to him straightly.

you can actually tell if he is slowly forgetting you, you can base it on how he chats with you, does he want chat longer or is the the one who always says goodbye first?, Does he chat with you like the way he chats with you before? Does his replies still as long as before? as sweet as before? do you think he has too much excuses? if my questions answer's your question then maybe he is forgetting you... slowly, because being apart with someone is really hard, expressing love in words isn't enough you have to be there with that person to show your full love. So, if you wanna work it out you must confront him and ask him if his feelings changed through time and try to adjust things with him, besides 30 months isn't that long though if you just put TRUST and LOYALTY in your relationship everything will work out just fine. :)

I understand your concerns. Distance from someone is very difficult especially when you are in a committed relationship with them. As long as you do not have your gut telling you that he is cheating on you, I think that you guys are fine. I had a very bad experience concerning a long distance relationship. The guy wasn't cheating on me, but at the same time, he wasn't attentive to me as well. I certainly believe that he was stringing me along. One day, I thought about it and realized that we weren't right for each other. I broke it off and met someone wonderful. Your situations seems totally different. It seems like your boyfriend is still interested in you. I saw in one of your responses to another poster that may have too much time on your hands. I suggest that you might want to start volunteering somewhere to utilize your time. Volunteering can help your relationship, too, because you would an additional experience to share with your boyfriend. This could make you closer, and you appreciate each other's qualities/talents.

Oh, I totally know how you feel! My partner and I are a lot of miles apart. We see each other maximum of twice a year! But we've been at it for the last couple of years. It's difficult, and so you know, it's difficult for these guys as well. Just stay sweet and let him find comfort in you instead of questions. I think it's fairly obvious that he misses you because he tries his best to look for a signal. Don't blame him for the bad connections there. Just be happy and show him you miss him so much each time you get the chance to talk. The last thing these guys need is for you to lose your senses and start asking questions that would only stress them up and you yourself as well.. Remember that they're busy and tired after work, and that they're there to earn. As long as he's busy, just trust him and give him reasons to come home to you and you alone. Good luck! Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

I am sure that he misses you tremendously and you shouldn't worry about it. He will be home again before you know it and you will be able to spend time together. Is he never in the same town for very long? If he is I would suggest sending him phone cards so that he can call you when he has a phone nearby. There are plenty of Tiendas (Mexican Stores) that sell phone cards and not at a bad price either.

Hi virtualmirage, I am with a guy who travels a lot for his job. We communicate just when he can. I know it sounds pathetic. I admit it, it is pathetic. But because I love him (yeah, I love him), I try to play the games the he plays it. Sometimes I do feel the way you feel. Does he miss me or is he forgetting me? I choose not to make assumption at all. So, I just focus on my work, my dream, what I want to pursue in my life, having fun with my friends. And when the time comes, he would just pop up, find me and make me feel loved. If you wanna find out, it is better that you ask him. See what he answers you. Don't make assumption, cause it will ruin you and your relationship. Good luck!

Not seeing him or not meeting him for long time does not mean that he has forgotten you. If you really love him then you are the best person to understand him better, he may be not meeting you or seeing you may be he is busy in his work and as such have no time to meet you. Better you phone him or if you take time to go and meet him. Sometime when we are not meeting foe long time and when we meet after long time automatically our love also get strengthen. Have a faith on your man.

hi there, my boyfriend and i have been together for almost 8 years now and he is so far away from me. he is in New York and I am here in Philippines. he only comes home to me once a year for 3 weeks and he can't stay longer than that because of his work there. yeah it is pretty tough being so far away from him. i miss him a lot all the time but we communicate everyday. i am also hoping that he thinks about me all the time and that there will be no love lost between us. we are just trying to work it out because we cant just be together all the time because it is also hard when we don't have money hehehehe and hopefully we can be together again sometime in the future for good.

Hi sweetie..that question is always a difficult, as well as a hurtful question to think about. Being seperated from your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse because of a job that you need and/like is always difficult especially if you don't get to communicate often. It really all comes down to the relationship you have and how much you care about each other. If you care enough, you won't do anything to hurt the other person. But you are always wondering if the other person is thinkin about you as well. I know it's hard to even get through a day let alone a week or more wondering if the person is doing well/safe and everything, but if you trust each other enough, try to occupy yourself as well, make the time go faster and you'll be together again before you know it. When he returns, it'll make the time you spend together much more special because you'll have learned to appreciate and want each other's company even more then before cause you've now been apart for a while. If you love each other, I wouldn't worry too much and if you ever have a concern just ask about it. You should be open enough to always be honest with each other. I wish you all the best of luck and I hope things work out. Try to keep busy and make the time go faster! It's better than sitting at home going craxy thinking of every possibiliy/situation that's happening or wondering the the person's okay, safe, or if they're thinking of you as well! You'll obviously still think of them, which is natural, I can tell you really care about him, but it's just an idea, may help time go by a bit faster/easier to deal with!! Good luck xoxo
