1) get to see your MM or OM?

2) talk to your MM or OM?

3) get quality time with your MM or OM?

I tried this in another post but it was buried by other questions so let's see if this gets better response! :)


Right now I pretty much see my MM every day of the week because we work together - but as far as time together - maybe once a week! :( If I didn't atleast get to see him daily I'm not sure I could handle it!? I'm curious to know how the rest of you deal with only getting to see your MM/OM periodically - because that might be my situation before long! :(

I only get to see my MM occassionally outside of work. Usually once or twice a week, but sometimes we go without seeing each other for a couple weeks, which I hate! But yes, if I didn't see him at work then I'd lose my mind.....

Why do we put ourselves through this when there are so many more available men out there? Strange....... I ask myself that question often.

We can pretty much email all day long Monday - Friday. See each other on our lunch hour and sometimes after work for a very short time... like 30 minutes. And that's about it. It's not a lot of time at all. But I'm used to it. I still love him!!!!

Well, my A is fairly new, but the last time I saw MM was a couple of weeks ago, and there's really no telling when we might be able to see each other again...unfortunately! *sigh* We do talk every day, several times a day, but other than that, I just wait until the next opportunity for us to be together. In fact, I've been sitting here today wondering if it would be worth it, and if I could pull it off, to find some excuse to be gone for about...oh, 9 or 10 hours tomorrow, so I could drive 3 1/2 hours each way to see him, if even for a couple of hours! LOL Not likely, but I wish I could! ;)

I see Joe a couple of times a week sometimes more we talk everyday. We have alone time most of the time once a week.

We talk almost everyday, e-mail, IM, or phone. We talk even on the weekends.

We both have very busy sch. Sometimes we just can't get together, so talking has to do.

Most of the time I stop by his work on my way to work that gives us about 1/2 to 45 mins that we can be alone. That isn't a lot - but it is what we have. Sometime we will IM on Sat (H works on Sat) for hours.

1/2 Hours isn't all that much time but it is time that you can explain away, you stoped for a can of pop and saw someone you knew and you talked.

Lunch - we do lunch once in a while - with friends, this is how we work that, we send a e-mail saying that we are going to lunch where ever and then just show up OH Hi Joe would you like to sit with us?

Committee meetings again you can kill a 1/2 hours.

wow alot of you get more time with your MM then I thought! :)

I guess I'm worried because once I no longer work with MM it will be hard for us to find time to see each other and that's really important to me! But he is SO busy - personally and professionally I just don't see him even being able to squeeze me in that often! :(

Thnaks for the replies! :)

Hi poster,

I don't really get to see MM all that much... on average it's about once a month... if things are going well and his work is good and our schedules match... maybe twice a month... if we are lucky.

I talk to MM once a week every Thursday... he leaves work early to pick up his DD from his parents and I call him on his mobile and we talk while he is driving. We do however have very regular contact from Monday to Friday through emails... and can get up to four each way and it does make for some fun sometimes. We are very rarely in touch in the evenings or weekends unless it's been arranged previously.

As for quality time... any time I get with MM is quality time... but I do so enjoy when he takes the afternoon off or even the day when he can instead of a couple of hours... it just gives us a little more time to be able to talk about things... and it's nice.

Sweet

Don't we all just LOVE talking about our A's? lol!!

1) get to see your MM or OM?

I see OM 3 days a week for sure. We work together with separate days off, so that leaves working together 3 days. I live around the corner from our offices, so I frequently go by to 'pick up something I forgot' and 'happen to stop and chat' with OM a fourth day.

2) talk to your MM or OM?

It used to be we only spoke on the phone very rarely. All our out-of-office communication happened by email. But I just started a 2nd job last week and that has seriously cut into our email time, so M-F one of us calls the other every day, on my way to my afternoon job. We work together weekends, so after work, we're NC out of respect for his g/f and how she feels about him on the computer all the time.

3) get quality time with your MM or OM?

Our quality time actually happens during work hours. He lives 2 hours away (can you *imagine* a commute like that?? UGH!!) We spend about 1/3 of our work days out in our territories, checking up on our employees and so we hook up every day we work together. We figure it's like a lunch break...we never spend more than an hour together and quite frequently less. But we have damn good talks and a little bit of fooling around, too. We're about to rent one of those weekly suites kind of places so we can finally consummate this thing.

As far as how to handle infrequent contact, I'm not sure. I may have to transfer divisions, soon, so that I can get a day job and keep the kids. That means I will only get to see him on the weekends, pretty much. The occasional Sunday night and Monday night, too. I try not to think of that. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

HIH,

Lucky

1) get to see your MM or OM? Once or twice a month

2) talk to your MM or OM? Many times a day via phone, lots of text messaging and email

3) get quality time with your MM or OM? Our visits are overnighters, so our time together is quality time.
