Poor hubs is having to deal with a few breakdowns every other day it seems like. I'm in a weird place, because I really miss him and am already thinking about missing my family, so I'm very inbetween at the moment. I wish I could be past the whole saying goodbye thing and just be there already!
Yeah, I hear ya. I'm experiencing a similar thing (though on a much smaller scale as my move is farther away and I'm giving myself a "deadline" of 1 year when I can evaluate and see what life is like)...I'm really eager to just get over there, but it's also sinking in what I'll leave behind...if my job search goes well, this will be my last July 4, Labor Day, birthday, Thanksgiving Day, etc in the US for a while.
I went to dinner with a friend last night and it seemed like my friend was actually trying to set me up for bad things to come, saying things like "yeah,you might not mind doing his laundry at first, but then it will get old" or "eating is going to be so hard for both of you since you are a vegetarian" and "I bet they dont have good breakfast cereal, what will you eat for breakfast?" Is breakfast cereal really that big of a deal?? Ugh. I need people to help me focus on good things in my future not potentially scary or bad ones.
Oh wow, that does stink. If you're trying to focus on moving/settling in/adjusting well, it is
not helpful to hear about all the little things that could be annoying. (And really, unless David lived in your town in CO with you, would be true of getting used to married life regardless of the move, so what's the point?!).
I hope you have other friends who're being supportive, especially of the bigger picture stuff. And if it helps, remember that flights back to the states are readily available (if not so much on the easily affordable part), and possibly you guys can/will move to the states later on.
