My husband and I are soo grateful to have found this forum. It has helped us soo much and has answered lots of our questions. And I admire all the people on here who have been so helpful and those who have waited soo long for there loved ones, its inspirational.
My husband and I have dated for 3 years, married for 6 months now. I visit him every few months for a two months and return to the US. I keep telling myself: I'm just lucky I have such a flexible job. In the beginning both of us wonder if we would last, the distance was soo far. Now here we are, married. The time I spend with my husband goes by soo quickly though, it feels like I blink and its over. Before I know it, I have to leave again and go back to work. When we are apart, my husband and I text, call, fb each other constantly, before work, during our lunch breaks and after work, hundreds of texts a day, hours on the phone. When we do argue, being so far apart everything that happens feels intensified or over dramatized. At first it hurts soo much to be apart but I throw myself into my work, and it distracts for a little while but as the months pass we both grow anxious to see each other. Then there are some days when I come home from work, tired or upset and I just miss my husband and wish he was there with me. Usually he can tell when I'm upset, then texts or calls me and he makes me laugh. We make plans to see each other and what we will do together. We talk about our worries, problems, our finances. Then when I do see him, its like a breathe of fresh air or a drink of cold water. But in the short time we spend together we get so attached as a couple: holding hands, making decisions together, taking care of one another, and doing everything together. We become ridiculously dependent on one another. Then time catches up with us I have to fly back and become miss independent again. And the cycle repeats itself again. But in the end, I tell my self it's all worth it, I'm glad I met my husband and I love him soo much ...I just keep telling myself...I'm lucky because my job is flexible, and I can see my husband every couple of months and communicate with him even though we are far away and that some couples have faced harder circumstances...
