When will I get a letter??
My boyfriend left about two weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything. I've seen different answers to when the first letter would come but not sure which one is correct. I knew I wouldn't get anything the first week but can I expect something soon? Checking the mail every day and not receiving anything is bumming me out more then I already am...

Hopefully that's the case. I've been dying for a letter, life seems so boring now that he's gone.

I know! I moved to live with my sister hoping to keep myself busy, but nothing seems to keep me busy enough! T-minus 46 days! :)

Yeah, October 5th. Do you know when your boyfriends is? Oddly enough countdowns help me a lot! It's nice to know the time is getting less and less.

My boyfriends is Sept 28, so almost a month! I originally thought his was going to be a week or two into Oct but guess not. Although I like the fact I get to see him earlier, it's gonna be hard because I begin classes the 26 so it's pretty early to be missing class.

Hi,
You will most likely get a letter on Wednesday of the third week. Then one every week on Wednesday, hopefully. You may get a call that third week, too. It was so hard to keep running to the mailbox before we knew what to expect. I wish we'd known not to even look until that third week. Hang in there.

If I do get a call, do you know how long it may last? But then again, I'd take anything at this point. Thanks

I got a call midway through & it was 10 mins. Yes, anything is better than nothing. I kept my phone with me at all times, even when I'm in the shower. I did not want to miss it. For my emotional comfort but mainly for his. I've heard it's very difficult for them emotionally when they do get to call but they don't connect.
