Anyone around? I could do with some support
I'm currently at the Hong Kong airport waiting for a connecting flight to Sydney and have been on the verge of tears for the past 3 hours or so. It's finally hitting me that I'm not going to get to hug or kiss or touch my fiancé for almost 5 months. I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to go to Australia and I don't know if I can do this. I said goodbye to him 3 days ago and it already feels like my heart's been ripped out. I don't know what to do
Well firstly, I think you are really going to enjoy the Sydney weather and environment. It is summer right now, about to go into autumn. There are beaches all up the coast that you can explore to your heart's content
I have done the connecting flight thing several times, to and from Australia to Europe, US, Canada, etc. It can be particularly draining on your body; emotions are bound to run wild during such an experience, especially given your situation.
If it is a long distance relationship you are anticipating on making work, then only you and your partner can answer whether it is going to work or not. It sounds as if you made a decision to throw caution to the wind with this. It's a situation that you are
both now in - you are going to either make it work or not work. Both of you. Not just you. I hope you chose the right guy, because it can be a demanding thing to be in a long distance relationship, in my opinion.
Personally, I have never been able to sustain long distance relationships, hence why I am in Sweden, while my girlfriend is studying. I didn't see her for a few weeks and we used skype, facebook etc to stay in contact. I guess you may find getting into a routine, with regard contact, a good thing.... the time difference will be a factor.
Good luck
