So, he's been deployed for two weeks now.

[BlondieK143]

And I haven't heard anything. No e-mail, no call (which I wasn't expecting), and no letter. Was I stupid to think that a year fling constituted a semi-relationship?

[BlueIris]

1. Well, if you want my humble opinion, don't be so hard on yourself.

If it was a year and you're posting about it here, obviously some feelings developed. There's nothing wrong with respecting your own emotions about the situation. Hopefully, you'll hear something soon.

[BlondieK143]

3. Thank you.

:) I appreciate that. And yes, feelings developed on my end definitely. He's just so introverted as far as his emotions are concerned. We're not officially a couple, but it would be nice to hear something. (and trust me, I know he's busy, but a five second e-mail?)

2. I took my bf almost 2 weeks to email me

I am sure he will email you. He is probably very busy right now getting aquainted with the situation. Give him some more time. Of course you can email him also. Asking how he is doing and ask him if he needs anything.

:hug:

[BlondieK143]

5. I know, I'm impatient.

Can't help it. Never been in this situation before. Thanks for the hug!

[ffm172]

8. I can absolutely understand you

when my bf went to the States over Christmas and New Year (he left on the 24th) I almost freaked out because I didn't heard from him till New Years Eve (he called me at midnight German time). My mom and brother had to live with a very upset and grumbling woman. I actually cried New Years Eve around midnight when I got his call. I still am wondering that he couldn't find a computer to email me. I am impatient to. And I am really glad that my bf emailed me Monday. It was really a relief.

[BlondieK143]

9. That's awesome!

I'm really glad he's gotten in touch with you! Bet you were stoked!

[ffm172]

11. yep

did you see my post about the second email? :evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

12. I sure did!

You're bad! lol

[ffm172]

13. I admit it

and am proud of it :evilgrin:

[DebJ]

4. maybe he's afraid you will forget him first. email first!

[BlondieK143]

6. I wrote.

Sent an e-mail then mailed a letter (so he'd have something from home).

[freebird1]

7. I wouldn't consider it to be a fling.

After a year of dating, it's more than a "fling".

You'll hear from him. It takes a lot of doing last minute things to leave home for months.

:hug: don't be too upset ... pack for Boston instead :woohoo:

[BlondieK143]

10. I know.

:D Impatience is getting the best of me I suppose. I normally don't get this wrapped up in guys. I'm more take me or leave me. It's just with him, I know there's that chance I won't see him again.

*sigh*

I can't WAIT for Boston! It's such a much needed break! We're going to have a blast!

[freebird1]

14. sea food ! Yea !!!

... down to the sea I'll go ... to Derby Hall for an interesting experience.

My bf did his internship in Boston, we were IMing about fun places to visit.

Think positive ! Believe that you'll see him again. It will help you both.

[BlondieK143]

17. Yuck!

You can have my share of the seafood! :D I'll stick with something else. Give me chicken and I'm set!

:D Where all was he suggesting? I'm sure it's on my list of 80 things I want to do! lol

Thanks chick. I'm trying to be positive.

[freebird1]

41. What do you mean *trying* ?

You're always positive!

What's up? :hug:

I've eaten so much chicken, I'm about to sprout feathers !O8)

16. Of course I did!

Hell, I stayed on base three times in the past year. His friends were very accepting of me and he knew my political views (which is why we never talked about that subject). I have major respect for what he and others do.

20. Actually, that's very untrue.

His best friend is a strong Dem and there are many men and women in the military with the same beliefs. So unanimous really doesn't work in this situation sweetheart. And by the way, two weeks doesn't constitute being absent from someone's life. Just on temporary vacation.

23. Because this is the Lounge.

I realize you're new around here so I'll explain. The Lounge is a place to joke, bitch, complain, laugh, and normally poke fun at oneself. Today, I felt like complaining. :D It's pretty easy to understand.

[Brewman_Jax]

19. G'day, Blondie!

:hi: I'm sorry to hear, but I do know the feeling. :( Were you stupid to think so? No, that wasn't unreasonable, but, unfortunately, logic does not always apply. He may be overly busy right now. :shrug:

[BlondieK143]

21. I'm hoping that's it.

I read they just had this huge artilery thing on ship so that might've taken up his time. Guess I just need reassurance this morning. :hug: Thank you.

[Brewman_Jax]

24. Anytime

:hug: glad I could help. I'm thinking of starting a post ranting about my brother. He's been in IT desktop support for years, and is getting laid off; his company lost the BIG account contract renewal bid. He blew off the recent college alumni career fair 'cause "he had too many irons in the fire." Trying to help start a company, and hoping that a marketing job will come thru'.

He's still gotta eat. You just can't help some people! :banghead:

[BlondieK143]

25. That sucks!

I remember you telling me about his job, not good at all! Does he have any idea what he's going to do? And rant away. :D It's good therapy.

[Brewman_Jax]

31. Post started

wow, that's a rare occurance!

and you have Name Removed in your thread? I think some poster forgot their coffee.

Ready for the Boston trip?

[BlondieK143]

33. I know!

It's good for you to post, you don't do that often! I'm so proud. :D

And yes!! Woo Hoo! I've never been personally sought out! :P

Working on getting ready. 11 days! WOO HOO!! :D You can still come, ya know?

[Brewman_Jax]

35. Next weekend?

or the weekend after? Sorry I won't get to join you, :( I have to pack in the taichi lessons (esp. broadsword, I took off for my birthday ) before Teacher goes on vacation to China for 5 wks. Gotta practice, practice, practice!

Also the RenFest is almost here, I have to show as my character, Sir Argyle, Lord Navigator.

[BlondieK143]

36. :)

The 23rd. :) I'm just making an extra long weekend of it. You'll be missed, but I'm sure they'll be plenty more!

Have fun at the lessons and at RenFest! (that looks sooo cool!)

[Brewman_Jax]

40. Fantastic!

You'll have a blast, in spite of a city full of seafood.

I wonder if my thread will get any posts, or will it sink to the bottom? :shrug:

I know that you'll be going home soon. :hi: :hug:

[cleofus1]

I know I'm overreacting, a small hi just would've been nice. I'll certainly take your work on all this and even might print it out for amusement. :D :hug: Thank you!

[cleofus1]

28. yep....

[BlondieK143]

29. So, you're coming to Boston, right?

:D I could at least thank you with a real hug then! Bring the Mrs.

[cleofus1]

A. I'm broke
B. Kids are in school
C. I'm in the middle of a ratings period...
D. I'm a pathetic loser...
E. Ignore that last point

[BlondieK143]

32. LOL!

For some reason, that whole list thing is amusing the shit out of me this morning!

And you're not a pathetic loser! :spank:

I'll be sure to have a drink for ya, maybe next time!

[Solly Mack]

34. Hi! Speaking from experience, it can take up to a month

to get any word.

I don't know the particulars of your relationship and I won't pry.....but I did want you to know that you're not stupid for giving of yourself and getting in return....even if it turns out to be temporary thing.



:hug:

[BlondieK143]

37. Thank you!

I'm probably just overreacting, but I appreciate your feedback a lot! So you've been there and done that huh?

[Solly Mack]

38. Yes....been there, done that...hell, I even got the t-shirt

Husband went to Iraq in early April of 2003...it took over 2 weeks to get word from him directly.

As for the other aspect...yeah...been there and done that too. No regrets!

[BlondieK143]

39. That makes me feel better!

I'm assuming your husband is at home safe and sound now? :) Glad he made it back okay!
