Question
Con't...

I understand that there comes a point where professional help is needed, but I've still got all my marbles, and I'm rational enough to tackle one problem at a time and with thought. So don't worry about me just yet.

On to the update though...we spoke today about meeting within the next 2 or 3 weeks to discuss what, if anything, we're doing. She was feeling frustrated because she had no one to come home to and was tired of feeling lonely (feelings I know far too well). I asked if she wanted to talk about it, and she did to a point, but shut down after that.

So I decided to offer to come see her. If anything, maybe we can come to some resolution about this. Either end it because neither of us wants to move to the other's country, or someone moves. Every other time I've tried initiating this conversation within the past 4 months, it's been shot down. I think this time we may have to come to a conclusion, as we're both hurting.

I should shut up now though...it's time for you to do your "expert" thing.

(which by the way you do very sincerely, intelligently and clearly. Thanks, I truly appreciate it)

Answer
I certainly dont think you are at a point were you need therapy. I think you will be able to tackle all of this with thought and time, so your doing just fine.

All right, I am going back to the story now, and I will finish that off, and may have some suggestions for you, something that mey help when you two see one another in the next few weeks.
