Love or Opportunity? Coffee Social

[NicAnn]

On a separate note, we got married in August and no question drives me crazier than "how's married life?" from people who know the situation!!

Me too, on both counts!

btw, this thread is zooming along. Every time I return, at least five pages have gone by. The post I made just before this one, I had gotten sidetracked, came back and posted a reply to Halfmoon, but 7 pages had blown by me by then so my comment was so out of step with the conversation. ;D

Me too! I'm in a bad rut and being able to yak about stuff related to sponsorship or not related at all is really great. I go to work, come home, Skype, sleep, repeat... Going to the bank is a challenge. None of my friends have been in this situation and i'm the first married. I don't think my husband would react the same way as peeps here if I said I hung up on him sometimes lol.

Hi bluemoon: How did you tell my mind. I have exactly the SAME feeling like you, and I started to avoid people who would be asking me about my married life as well as sponsorship progression/process, whatso ever! I am just hating my times these days!

I dont know why I dont tell anybody in my family or friends circle about the stage of my application, I fear they might jinx it :S
my husband sometimes tells me that once we are together we are going to miss this time how we used to stay up every weekend because of this 12 hours time difference and how we did all the small things to see each other everyday. something like buying a smartphone with like skype video call and whatsapp so that even we aren't home skyping atleast we are "together"

The number one thing we bicker about is poor network connection - as if either of us can help it! But still, we tack on the blame!!

"Well, you sound like you aren't paying attention"
"I didn't hear ANYTHING you said"
"Are you even listening to me?"
"What?"

bluemoon: once again, it happens with me too. hahahha...what a matching of experiences. hah?

Oh my, the silly things we got into words about. A lot of it was stress from being apart. It's a lot more stressful mentally than you realize at first... When you're lacking that physical connection and the emotional connection that goes with touch, snuggles, even just sitting side-by-side, it weighs on you. I respect people that have long distance relationships for years or on a regular basis (military, truckers) so much. It takes a lot of strength to do that.

amikety: can't agree more! Great point.

We been married 8 months now, and the first 5 months were so hard on both of us. Sometimes I wondered if our marriage would survive but we had to put lots and lots and lots of work on it. Things are starting to pay off now, things are starting to be clearer. The sponsoship aproval also gave us hope.

lunas: it is so true. hummmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I see you're catching up on the party tonight Saint4peace!!! Looks like you're holding the after party for us....

Everyone got tired from laughing so hard. But was on my way to bed and wanted to pop in.

Stick around, you'll have a ball!!! It makes our situations a bit less painful to share a laugh, joke, and encouragement and the occasional serious topic of love or opportunity.

Good night!
