If the distance and "being apart" is the root of the situation, take the advice that was given to me when Mrs. T-B.-to-be was pulling away: One of you needs to beat it the hell over to visit the other, NOW. Drop everything. Go NOW. Expenses be damned -- swim the ocean if you have to. Go, and go NOW.

Conversely, if there are fundamental differences in the relationship -- such as a lifestyle or character or financial or permanent situational issue that disquiets either one of you -- a breakup is saving you each a lot of time.

However, you indicate that distance and stress are the chief (or only) factors. In that event, see first paragraph above, and DO IT.

Note: Mrs. T-B.-to-be came here and became Mrs. T-B.; she will do her fingerprints for the N-400 (citizenship) next week; and we both just comforted 19-month-old Mini-Bone, who woke up and wanted Mommy & Daddy. Had I not gone to Ecuador when I was urged to, none of this would be happening now.

EDITED TO ADD: Send him the link to this thread, for comic relief and something to look forward (?) to:

Long distance relationship like this is very fragile and needs a lot of protection. Try to calm down. Find a way to meet each other. It's a painful process but I always remind myself we are not the

I'm sorry this happened to you, and I know you probably won't like reading this but I think your fiance is doing the right thing by calling things off. Don't get me wrong you are absolutely correct,

I'm sorry! Maybe this is just a quarrel and you'll make up. Don't make any rash decisions right away... this process is far too long to start all over again. This system is so broken and horrible it
