How Do You Deal With The Pain?

[Ta Ta 1]

We never had a webcam and have months of no internet but daily phone calls. It is the pits to say the least !

It has been a very long 18 months of not seeing my fiance and communication is vital. My phone bills are very , very high.

God let this be over soon !

We're in a situation where all we have is email. The cams were sooo nice. Can't talk on the phone too much cause of cost. Like William, we are waiting for his divorce to be final before we can do anything.

It's a road of ups and downs, but like everyone here says, it's worth it in the end, and everyday brings you one day closer.

Have you thought of using phonecards to call?

If calling from England try the post office international calling cards, they are excellent!

But recently, I have found this company Pingo.com you get 9 hours worth of talk time from England to America for £11 and about 10 hours for $11 from America to England. It's definitely worth doing! It has saved us SO much money.. Obviously it's still not as cheap as email But talking is so much better!

Oh and I forgot to say, it keeps a record of all your calls too! Which is useful as proof of an ongoing relationship at the interview

Oh wow! Thanks a bunch!

Couldn't edit - ah well, he only has a cell phone and it's cheaper to call with my home phone.

Thanks anyway though!

You must be strong. Personally, we don't need daily communication. Otherwise, we would talk about the "weather". My Alla & I speak to each other every weekend for a few hours each of those days. It's enough. We keep each other in our hearts and minds. We know we will eventually be together for always. We look at our situation as if it's just another part of life out of our control. We are helpless and at the mercy of a third party fueled by a whole lot of red tape. We can only be patient and wait. Our day WILL come.

I can't even image going through the process without webcams.

Ditto...wow, that would be super hard.

1) Absence makes the heart grow fonder

2) Anything worth having is worth waiting for

3) What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

4) I don't have to go to singles events, first dates, and screen people to ask out for dates
