Just wondering....with a long weekend coming up, how do you cope being away w/o any contact with your AP?

Hi Skootergirl,

I know exactly how you feel. I just got off the phone with my AP and probably won't get to talk to him again until Monday.

I am lucky in that my computer is in the basement and I work from home. It gives me an excuse to come and check my email.

I write emails to my AP, even if he doesn't write back. I know his wife can see the computer if they are both in the livingroom. So he can't always spend much time there during the weekend.

I try to keep myself busy and just daydream about the next time we'll talk.

My AP lives 1500 miles away, so we haven't seen each other in a very long time. I think that's worse than not talking to him everyday.

We've decided after 7 mths of the A and one partial D-Day to not communicate during the weekend. The stress of waiting for a txt, over-analyzing each word, how long a txt, or -heavens-to-betsy - no txt at all is worse than just waiting till Monday to catch up. Also allows us to focus on our families on the weekend.

Two words: Keep busy.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one that suffers over the weekend & holidays.

I soo very much understand your frustration ! I am S and AP is MM.We have contact on weekends but its small contact like a couple of minutes call.But the long kiddie vaccations are the worst-- the summer break! yikes! I do understand about his kids coming first BUT !!! he takes a day or two off,sometimes goes back home early,misses a call from me-- a never ending frustration,if i feed it.I have learned to accept the nature of it all and am certain that when my AP is with them,he is not ignoring me or forgetting me,its just that he is being a good dad ( i find that very attractive and sexy,like some men find an attentive /loving mom very sexxxy ;) ).
Your insecurities are normal-- like in any other RS.Its never impossible to make a 2 minute call if the desire is there.

I haven't heard from my AP for 2 days. He was traveling (for work - alone) and I sent him one text but he never responded. How difficult is it to take 2 seconds and say hello? AND I have a sneaking suspicion I won't hear
