reader, anonymous, writes (2 April 2008): I have been apart from my boyfriend for nearly a year - we have seen each other once for a week. The times have been very very difficult but I draw on memories - strong ones - which bring the relationship closer. I have kept a diary which I will show him when we are together again. I also have a favourite item of his clothing which he wore the day before we parted and still has his 'smell' combined with his aftershave scent. I have cried into and hugged this item of clothing but my goodness it helps! I'm not washing it until we're together again :-) Use this time as a time for self-development - try something new or novel - a hobby or interest or just enjoy organising some days out with friends. I tried a load of new recipes out on friends and I did a course in aromatherapy. It is important you don't stay in like a hermit and get depressed. Share your feelings. I hope I have helped in some way.
