Just needing to express myself and my frustration. I know that some of us have it easier than other with timelines and such, but I just want to yell.. So I am... Dorky? Maybe..but it makes me feel better - so go ahead and just yell! LOL
i feel your pain, bob's wife. my husband and i have been apart for 7 years! (well, we've been married for almost 2 years). i blame myself for stalling so much, and being lazy with paperwork. i do hope you two get together soon, it does hurt to watch movies alone. i love watching movies whenever my husband's with me, it's just a whole different level of fulfillment.bobshynoswife said:I don't want to yell, tonight I want to cry!
I just got home from the cinema where I watched Sex and the City 2 by myself. First of all, the movie sucked. The only thing worth watching was what the women were wearing!
One of the trailers was for a movie called Going the Distance with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. They are in a long distance relationship, and I actually started crying watching the trailer! Seeing them on skype and texting and calling and missing each other so much made me think, oh yeah, that's me too!
Then in the movie, the women were in Abu Dhabi, and at their hotel they had a butler. Carrie can't sleep late at night because of jet lag, so the butler makes her warm milk with cinnamon, “just as my wife likes it” so Carrie apologizes for keeping him working so late, and says to say sorry to his wife from her, but he explains that his wife is in India, and he is only in Abu Dhabi to work. He says he goes home to see her when he gets his break every three months “if I can afford the airfare”. Carrie says something about how horrible it must be to spend all that time apart, and the man replies “Time does not matter, because when we are together it is wonderful” Well, cue the waterworks, as I start to think about my husband in Nigeria, and how true that is.
I don't like going to movies alone anymore. I used to love it, but now after a year and a half visiting him and oh-so-many-movies together, it just doesn't feel the same.
We've already been apart for nearly 2 years...I am desperately hoping and praying that we're only apart for 1 more. Even the thought of that kills me. And if it's longer? Accra has 80% of cases done in 18 months. Sigh....
I live in Brampton and work in MississaugaAllisonVSC said:Are any of you in the Toronto area? I live in Mississauga and don't have a job yet. My sweetie works 60 hours per week on top of trying to get his Certificate in Management Accounting. I remember going to see The Proposal (the plot... a Canadian girl tries to marry her assistant to stay in the US) by myself last year when I was still just a visitor.
Anyway, anybody in the area want some face to face social time, let me know. We certainly have a lot in common to talk about!
