Imasquirly1: As some of you know...I am not the most patient person on the planet.. so, when it comes to relationships I have always tried to "push" what I wanted instead of what was best for both.
As you can imagine, that didn't go over to well.
I am now in a situation where I MUST be patient. I have just started dating someone that travels a lot for his job. I can not call him whenever I feel like it because I never know how late he is working or if he is in a meeting. I can not see him as often as I would like to because at the moment, he is out of the country. I am finding it a little difficult to deal with on some levels and then on other levels, I am finding that it is a good thing for me. I am finding that my world doesn't have to revolve around this person every moment, that it can actually be a good thing if we don't have the oppertunity to talk on a daily basis. I am learning to trust not only myself, but another as well, and for those of you who know me...you know that is HUGE.
I don't know how things are going to turn out, if they will work or not that is but, the one thing I do know is that this is teaching me to become a more patient person.
Is there anyone else out there that has had a simular experience?? If so, please share your experience, you never know, we could be helping others at the same time.

I know what you're going through...but a little bit of a different situation. It's hard...but very much worth it!!!!------ This thread is Archived ------
projection and allowing ones mind to wander can paint a picture that you do not want to see. trust is something that has to be learned not taught ,its time to take a differnt corner in your life and stand by your own principles and morals
what we want we cannot always have acceptence is the key of life
the leisure

Yes, it's hard. I'm in a similar situation but for a much different reason, and patience has been a lesson hard learned, but worth the learning. I hope that it works out well for you.

WOW...thank you...I really didn't think there would be so many responses this soon...
Some wonderful advice too...
I didn't mean it to sound like HE was the one teaching me to trust...it is something that I am teaching myself...sorry if I misrepresented that point. I am just seeing a different side of life with him...and I think that I could really enjoy too...that in and of itself is scary to me. I am have to keep telling myself that it is ok and that I will be ok no matter what the outcome. So in reality, I guess I am learning to trust and rely on myself instead of someone else. It is a new experience for me, one that I am sure is going to bring many lessons my way...

TurkishDelight: You are learning a new way to live...scary but a whole lot of fun
yes...I am finding that out.
My best friend of over 20 years has been married now for 10+ years..her husband has always traveled for his job...she tells me that she wouldn't have it any other way...she says that it keeps things fresh and new for them...who would have thunk it???
What I am finding out is that it gives you a chance to miss the other person and helps you appreciate the time you have with them that much more.

What else have you learned about you in your new way of living
I have learned to be more patient with myself and others,not just in my relationship. I used to be the type of person that had to have something done now, as in right now..that is all gone by the wayside these days I am more relaxed in how I approach people and how I receive them also
Jaysus Man what have you done to me

Well..like I said...this is all pretty new...we have only been dating a VERY short time...I will have to let you know what new and exciting things I find out about myself as they come up...I do hope that it will have simular side effects on me though...
I could use more patients at my current day job...it has been horrible lately...I have even started looking for a new job...I need to get back into school anyway and finish my degree...------ This thread is Archived ------
