Since we met in Aug 2005 I have spent only one day away from him (out of town for a work conference) - I'm surprised we're not sick of each other yet :P

Next month he will fly back to the States 2 weeks before I do ... not sure how I'm going to handle it :unsure:

i don't get that. do you go to the bathroom to watch each other pee and take a dump? shower? cook together, watch tv together, sit at the computer together even thou only one is actually writting here. then you drive places together. when you go buy clothes he goes in the dressing room with you? because i can't see how it would ever be possible to spend 98% of your free time together.

And even if you do, what kind of crazy level of data gathering and statistical analysis had to go into figuring out that you spend 98% of the time together?

Maybe that's why you spend 98% of your time together - because you spend all your time either sleeping or collecting data!

We have been together longer than apart. However in a couple of months it will swap! We were together for nearly 8 months before he was posted to Bahrain in Feb. It's been six months and in that time I saw him for three weeks. Will see him next week for 2 weeks, then after that it will be another 6 months before I see him.
