The problem is I am in a situation where I can't afford to dwell on her (i.e. two HUGE firefights last night), yet that is all I do. It is not that I am suspicious of her or anything like that. I read too many nightmare stories on here of how these relationships don't work, and too few success stories. That should probably tell me something...lol. To date that I am aware of she has not lied to me. She has not asked for any money. And has only said sweet and nice things to me. She has quizzed me on when I will return, and I feel that is more her being afraid I am b.s.ing her and will not come back. She has also quizzed me on when I can return to stay. Unfortunately that would not be until June. One thing that does bother me is too little contact with her. Her English is not very good. We communicate great face to face, but a phone call would be an effort in futility and we both know it. I get an email religiously every Sunday from her. She went back to her hometown for a bit and there is no internet massageplanete, so she admittedly phones a friend and has her email me. Bottom line, I have no reason to believe this isn't the real deal. So I guess I have to convince myself I must accept my fate, if she is there in Feb. waiting for me, great. If she has moved on some where else or on to another relationship so be it. There lies my conundrum (my $5 word for the day), how do I do this? As for stating what bar she works at so the BM's can go pay a visit.....lol....I don't think so.
