I Miss My Wife!

[Looking4Wife 0]

I miss my wife... she misses me... hearing your wife cry on the other end of an international phone call, asking when we're going to be able to be together... and being powerless to even give a definitive answer sucks...

Yeah, I know, it'll be "worth it", blah, blah, blah... My wife is my queen, but as each day goes by, i.e. the closer we get to being together, the harder being apart each day gets... kind of like the increasing pain of birth contractions (or so I've heard).

Immigration just plain shouldn't be this long, painful, inefficient, drawn out process... what if the lawmakers had to be subjected to being away from their spouses (or mistresses) or significant others the way we are... then I'd bet we'd see some serious reform...

I am really sorry that you are going thru this. Hang in there, we are all suffering now but soon all this will be part of the past.

Yes I've also said it is harder the closer you get... I think the reason is you start to drop that wall, that barrier of protection because you are close... I started dropping mine way to early..like around the 1st of Feburary..big mistake..

You both need to be strong for the love that you have between you..for your future.. because you are past half way..because each step forward is a step closer.. also focus on the smaller steps.. and the next one..

Here are things I did to keep from going crazy... I counted days.. I hung out here.. I talked to her twice a day and yahoo cam on sundays..

Trust me I know how hard it is.. gets worse...try the last week..like i'm in now.. I tried to plan to clean one room a day in my apt. to take up some of those lonely after work nights.. but honestly I just don't feel like doing anything.. You would think I'd be happy..and I am.. but not jumping up and down just yet... that won't happen until I see her at the airport.. .. and realize she is really finally here...

Tell she has to be strong..for the love..

I know how you feel. I find the hardest part not being able to get too psyched up at this point. Her interview is 20 days away and I will be with her in Bogota in 13 days. Due to the horror stories I have read on here, including ones at the U.S.Embassy in Bogota, I have to temper my enthusiasm until she has actually received the visa and makes it through the point of entry. Until then our fate is in the hands of some unknown consular official in Bogota and an immigration officer at the Miami airport. If all goes well we'll be sipping on Pina Coladas over a long weekend 3 weeks from today.

Like others have stated, the last stretch is the worst. As tough as it seems, hang in there you are down the home stretch. Soon enough you will be living a normal life with your wife, and all of this will quickly be forgotten. There is nothing anyone can say that is going to make it better or easier, just try to focus on the end results. What helped us most was just not even talking about it instead sharing the day to day stuff and keep on keeping on.

Oh yes crying on the other end of the phone, I had those moments. I guess it's a chick thing, we are very sensitive about our feelings. And we desperately want to be hugged at the times like that, but I know it's impossible when we're apart.

My fiance always try to comfort me by a lullaby, it works for me , I dont know if it has the same effect to your wifey

Thanks for all the encouraging responses!

Well, we finally have an interview date of April 10, 2007!

We're both very happy... now I just have to search for loose change in the sofa and car seats to be able to afford to accompany her to the interview!

ugh i feel the same way. some days are fine. some are not. today is a not so fine day. i have a list full of things i should be doing...but have i even left my house? no. not once. i started one project for about 10 minutes then abandoned that too. i'm completely useless! i'm trying to get out of this funk so i can be well prepared for my fiances arrival (whenever that may be). i have so much to do!

speaking of...time for that nap i've been thinking about doing.

congrats on your interview. i hope your queen makes it through smoothly and arrives to her new castle safe and sound!
