When he is away

With regionalisation, couples see less of each other. I often wonder, how do they maintain their relationships? I figured that constant reassurance was required to maintain the relationship so that parties still know that they are important in each other's lives. That is why it is important to be with someone who is caring and understanding so that he will constantly maintain that relationship. This prevents wives and girlfriends from believing that their boyfriends or husbands are still in a lecherous mood for other female species. This Fear stems from the fear of not being good enough or not being loved enough. It is normal and common.

When someone I love is away, I would definitely love to be surprised by him. Often a call or email will do the trick. It is that delightful feeling of knowing that you are still in his heart and mind. It simply lifts up my spirits. While I love spending time with someone I love, I know that there is a tradeoff. On the one hand, you would like to see him excel in his job (that means he will have to spend lots of time in that area) and on the other hand, you need that constant reassurance; that constant touch of his love. One therefore has to exercise patience and tolerance. When he does not constantly reassure you, when he is away, that is the time you should officially enter panic.

I was working the entire day and have been extremely exhausted for the past few days. I did not get enough sleep and have wrecked my brains over tax laws. I sometimes asked myself, why don't they get it? Do our partners actually get the message and know that we need the constant reassurance of their love? While I can advise taxpayers, how can we make our partners understand our need? There is one good thing about the catholic church. Every year couples have to renew their marriage vows. That reminds them of the vows they once made when they stepped down the aisle. People do need constant reminders that they are being loved by another. We should always be generous with that. If couples have done that, maybe divorce rates would not have sky-rocketed.

So if women do get anxious, what can they do to ease that anxiety. Once I told Zen I could not sleep, he suggested that I try reading a book from my library. Yep, why not? I could possibly be 5 page wiser when I sleep. At the same time, I won't feel any loss. It is a great form of escapism and it is perfectly healthy.
