Sort of but not really. I was in shock and trying to figure out how to react. I did say I wish he told me fri, Fri is our usual check in day and he said he knew then. He asked why it would have mattered and I said, I could mentally prepare. Could have had a better discussion ready but no, you just did this suddenly. All he said was "Ya" He was quite quiet too. The thing is, without too much info here but he was completely open with me about WHY he's being forced to take it and where he is going etc. I feel for him, its a ****** situation and he did say he didn't want to go on a Wed.... he wanted to wait until mid aug but this is what was best for clients as far as their vacations etc too and his boss is making him go now. She is the reason he can't contact. She wants him cutting work out completely on this trip. At any rate, it's still hard and I just keep thinking well, after this, he's gonna force me to go bi weekly and never allow outside contact again since I "Survived" and it makes me ill because I have no choice really.

As for what to do, no. I don't have local friends and my family sucks. I usually just work and hang out with my dog. I'll just do that and get sucked into tv or something. I think our "connection" we had is gonna be over though. I can't see this feeling the same at all anymore.
