[UUPoly-L] Emotions with LDR

[stargazngal <stargazngal@yahoo.com>]

I'm realitvely new to polyamory...was monogamous with hubby for 24 years, and have had a boyfriend since May.  We are both each others secondary relationship.  He lives over 2 hours away, and our schedules are such that we sometimes go 6 weeks without seeing each other.  I know and accept it about 95% of the time, however when we discuss the chance of meeting and it doesn't work out, I tend to get way too emotional (especially if it's been a while since we saw each other).  Even when I know ahead of time it may not happen, I still lose it when it falls through.  I go through all sorts of emotions and eventually get over it after a good cry, lol.  While it is a testiment to how strongly I feel about him, I'd really like to be able to deal with the disappointments better.  
 
I'm open to suggestions on how to deal with the disappointments a little more gracefully and less emotionally.
 
Thanks,
