I love my boyfriend a lot, but because of where he is I haven't been able to see him in months. I know I will again soon, and I do miss him, but the feelings of "love" and "missing the person" are gone. Like Im just moving on with my life even though I know theyll be back. Im looking at all the people I live with and they all have partners with them and Im jealous, sometimes even looking at others because mine is far away. I don't mean to, and I feel kind of bad. Is this normal?

Hi there..well it is perfectly normal...I have been going thru this for the last 1 and a half years since my boyfriend is in another city...wat helps most is concentrating on other important things so that your mind is occupied. If you miss him too much talk to him and ask him to comeover soon...THATS WAT I DO.....when we miss each other soon we start planning things that we will do when we are together and it cheers us up!!!try it

hello! I guess we're in the same boat. But don't despair, this kind of relationship needs your patience, trust and understanding. Most of all, maintain the communications. Its the best we could do under the circumstances, long-distance and everything... have a nice day!

People react to things in different ways! I think you have to evaluate it. When he comes back, you'll be able to see how you really feel about it. I think that you really are just coping in a different way.

Your feelings are absolutely normal. Absence makes the heart fonder. If he was with you, probably you would have been fighting with him.

We rarely fight, I hate fighting with him. Not in the cheesy way, in the he annoys the crap out of me when we argue kind of way.

I think that your feelings are perfectly normal, exspecially if you are young. It is hard to stay in a committed relationship when a partner is far away for a long length of time. I would re-evaluate what love means and why you no longer are missing that person. I think that you should explain to your partner how you are feeling. Possibly the other person is feeling the same way. Maybe you might want to move on for awhile and see what happens when the other person returns. Best Wishes~

I think its just the feeling, but feelings arnt the most important thing. Though everytime I get a letter from him I feel all happy inside, and then I start to worry, what if things will change. I don't know. I've never been in love before, its really confusing and scary.

It is the best thing ever to be in love to give and have love, but you are so right...Love can be a very scary thing.. Sometimes it is the unknowns we are afraid of...Sometimes we just have to embrace what is there, seek what is not that is good for us and hope for the best. Just take one day at a time and you will figure it out in time!

I felt the same too, my boyfriend and I used to live together in the same roof as it was only a peice of paper that's missing to prove that me and him are married. We had promised each other that we should fight for our LOVE, if one will fall the other one should catch. But time came that we were separated by the distance for the first week I missed him so much how I wanted to go home for him. But then later on it seems like my feelings are fading little by little each day.

Hi Babytaffster, It is normal and it shows that you are missing and love him so much. When the relationship force to put a side for whatever reason, he/she or even both parties might scare the relationship get changed. All sorts of reasons and excuses will appear and it might drag to unnecessary argument, like why you didn't call me, why your tone changed already, previously not like this, etc. But actually nothing is change. So trust is important to be in place. When separated, it also a good time to learn trust towards our partner.

That's a very common and normal feeling to have for someone. He's been gone for awhile and you miss him but you don't feel the same when he's gone. I've had a recent thing happen to me that made me feel the same way.
