One of the turning points in any new relationship comes when you realize that you’re part of a couple. A couple with habits and routines of their own. You’ve successfully (I hope!) merged your single self into couple mode.
It can come as a bit of a shock when you’re sweetie goes out of town for a few days. If you’re used to him being around a lot, those few days without him may make you wonder what to do with yourself. That doesn’t mean you’re dependent and can’t function on your own; it just means your routine has been thrown for a loop. Besides, you love ‘em so you miss ‘em.
Fear not! This is really a glass half full kind of thing. Believe it or not, there are a few good things that go along with being alone while you’re in a relationship. Don’t believe me? Read on;
Letting go
Okay, not ugly ugly (theres never any reason to not take care of yourself. That should not be dependent on a loves presence) but you can safely get away with not shaving your legs or worry about hanging around in your oh-so-comfy but totally unflattering sweatpants.
It’s actually refreshing and relaxing to have a bit of time when you don’t have to fret about your looks. These few days of down time will probably leave you looking even hotter (if that’s even possible) when your sweetie gets back.
You time
The last few months have probably gone something like this; you spend time at each other’s place doing couple stuff. Your plants have been neglected, you haven’t done your laundry in weeks, and the bills are piling up. Being caught up in a lover’s haze is wonderful, but it does mean that things are left undone. Now is a great time to catch up.
Discover the long distance relationship
Even a new relationship can benefit from having things changed up. You’re used to the normal romantic plans that come with dating in person. Now is your chance to find out what it’s like to have a long distance relationship.
Your sweetie will be thinking of nothing but you if you initiate a naughty phone call just before he goes to bed. If crooning sexy come ons over the phone isn’t your thing, send a few sexy photos of yourself (nothing x-rated!) to his email address. For a touch of old fashioned romance, send a letter to his hotel.
Rediscover your friends
Bit of a no brainer really. Your friends are seeing far less of you, and they miss you. Let’s hope you haven’t cut them off all together because you may find yourself getting a less than friendly reception. Spending time with your bosom buddies while your other half is out of town is a great way to pass the time.
