Now that we have a baby it would be sooo much harder than it was the last time that happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68647 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:35:39 +0000 DigAPony 68647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were in a LDR for about 9 months, and the longest gap during that time was about 5 and a half months. It was awful. I was in Arizona and he was in Washington, and it was just too expensive/inconvenient to see each other more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68641 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:04:33 +0000 PitBulLover 68641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 months. The summer in between sophomore and junior year in college we were long distance so we had to wait 2 months to see each other because we couldn't afford any more than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68473 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:40:00 +0000 mrs. wagon 68473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rob Sr. and I were long distance for the first six months of our relationship. It was TORTURE. After we both graduated from college, in 2 weeks he was in Boston and hasn't left since. While we were dating we spent a few nights apart here and there for family holidays, etc. but it was extremely rare-- maybe 2 or 3 nights a year total. Then he went to Indianapolis for a week long business trip after we got married and that was TORTURE too. We just don't spend a lot of time apart... and that's the way we like it. Watching military homecomings after deployments makes me BAWL... I do NOT know how those families do it!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68444 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:05:32 +0000 cupcakemama 68444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ummm. Overnight! And that was really hard! We have slept apart about 3 times since we started dating, plus the night before we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68384 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:07:40 +0000 Penny Lane 68384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we started dating, no more than 3 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68301 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:45:50 +0000 DillonLion 68301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Israel 10 days days and that was by far the longest stretch in the history of our relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68297 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:40:26 +0000 lilteacherbee 68297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2 weeks. But we broke up in college for 8 months and didn't speak at all for 5 of those months. That doesn't really count though since we weren't together but it still sucked really bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68294 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:38:50 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 68294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little over two weeks while I was visiting family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68292 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:36:53 +0000 yoursilverlining 68292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were LD for the first 9 months of our relationship, so we probably went about 2 months without seeing each other several times then.</p> <p>Since living together, about 2 weeks. This past Christmas was the first we spent together, so we were usually apart for about 2 weeks over the winter holidays in the past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68285 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:29:16 +0000 sulli301 68285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH &amp; I were apart for 2 weeks while he was away at a business training &amp; conference while I was pregnant. Usually his trips are only 4-5 days or a week, but that was a long one. Luckily, he doesn't have to travel too often (but several trips in the next few months-yuck!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68283 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:27:34 +0000 mynoahbear 68283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months....when we first moved to Asia, DH left first because he had to start working. He also set everything up, housing wise, so that when I finished up with work, I just had to get on a plane and not worry about anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68278 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:23:26 +0000 nana87 68278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about 2 months--we were in a ldr for about a year while dh got an ma, but we managed to see each other about every 2 months or so during it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68264 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:10:27 +0000 Sha 68264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 months when i lived in hawaii for an internship </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68259 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:09:30 +0000 chopsuey 68259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!

Since we became BF and GF way back when, I think the longest we have been apart is when I go on 5 day/4 night business trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68252 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:02:41 +0000 heffalump 68252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a week. But that's when we just started to date, I took a trip to NY without him. Since then, it's only been a couple of days here and there. He's had to stay in the hospital after surgery, went out of town for a wedding, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68251 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:02:31 +0000 Rescuemom10 68251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRS.BEE- My Mom and I talk about doing something like that. HOW FUN! I soooo want to see Paris! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68248 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:01:12 +0000 mediagirl 68248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dated long distance, so there were months where I didn't see him. The longest we dated LD - with visits - was 6 months. I couldn't imagine him being deployed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68247 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:00:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 68247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i went to paris with my mom for 4-5 days. a last mom-daughter trip before i had kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-the-longest-youve-ever-been-away-from-your-so#post-68245 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:59:22 +0000 Rescuemom10 68245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the longest DH and I have been apart so far is 6 months. When him and both were deployed. Our times overlapped otherwise it would have been longer. Thankful it was not.<br /> Next year we will be going about 16 months apart. He MAY get to come home for a week or two in that time we hope.</p> <p>Whats the longest you have been apart? </p>
