Well, our exact current status is me sitting here making this page, trying to keep my
mind occupied while Marco is gone fishing for a week. Other than that, we are still
living apart. He in Holland and I in America. He was not able to get the time off at
Christmas, so we won't be together.
We still talk on IM during the day (my day) and chat together on the weekends. Our
trips have pretty much depleted our money supply, so the phone calls are less than they
used to be. However our feelings are as strong as ever.
It's getting harder though to be apart. A lot harder. I find myself getting a lot more
emotional over stupid little things. And since I hate getting upset, it quickly turns to
anger. If it weren't for Marco being so calm and patient, we would have had some
knock-down-drag-out fights by now.
So for now we are hanging in there, day by day, until our plans all come together.
Even though we have met a few times, and enjoyed every minute of each time .... until
we are actually together in real life, this is still a 'net thing'. There is no way around that.
With 4000 miles in between us, I don't see any way of considering us a 'couple'. Some
people would disagree and say I am being unfair. But, the hell with them, this is how I
feel and nothing will change it.
Yes we love each other. Yes we want to be together. Unfortunately there's a LOT of
complications involved with us making that dream a reality. Especially if he chooses to
come here. There's a hell of a lot of political mumbo-jumbo and governmental legal red
tape and regulations that must be met. It would be different if we were both in the same
country to begin with, but we aren't. So like I said, for now we are taking it one day at a
time and staying hopeful that we can make this last until the day comes when we
actually can be together.
Additional notes .... During the time I am writing this, the terrorist attacks on New
York City and the Capital took place. So now, with additional security in place for
foreigners taking residency in our country, I'm afraid it will all be even more
complicated than we thought. And as far as my ass ever getting on a plane again ....
well, it's just not gonna happen. So if indeed it ends up that I move to Holland, I will
travel by boat.
