Dealing with Seasons of LDR Loneliness

The gates to loneliness are empty.

When one (or rather two since a couple is involved) is in a long distance relationship, both must expect fairly regular dealings with the sickness of LDR loneliness. One sickness that I am going through at this very moment. One sickness that I loathe to the core because it's so hard to get out of…plus it is regular in long distance relationships.

Do you have your bouts of LDR loneliness too?

I would like to reiterate that I do get them, at least once a month. Sometimes I feel that people think that I'm ok and that it's a breeeze since it's been two years. But it's not…

There are times that…

• I cry myself to sleep because Dodong thinks that he can't talk to me plus I'm nahihiya to tell other people.
• I treat myself to a good meal to offset the loneliness. Very expensive at times.
• I go to my favorite massage place (Tonton's Thai Massage at the moment) and get a two-hour body massage. Expensive too.
• I just walk around like a zombie in a crowded mall.
• I stare into space. Okay, this is similar to the previous one.
• I write a lonely email to Dodong.
• Or yes, write a blog post like this one.

How do you deal with your seasons of LDR loneliness?

Love the distance (Do I really??? I just hate it sometimes),
