You count it, if you are lucky maybe only 100 days, but its still its too long.
We've all been there, and it doesn't get any easier, knowing your going home to an empty house and loneliness. I liken my time away from my mahal as a prison sentence. It's usually between 90 and 120 days, I have every day in my diary numbered and begin the countdown, slowly the days and weeks come down, until like I am now, I only have another 6 days to wait until I land at NAIA and see my mahal again, but when I leave on 9th Jan, it will be another 88 days till I see her again in April.
Maybe LDR's affect men and women slightly differently, but I'm sure we all hurt and our hearts aches when we are separated.
