It's not like we don't get along, we're great together alhamdulillah...it's stress and frustration from repeated, ongoing periods of separation lasting for 3 months or more. When he's away at the rig he doesn't even have proper internet access so it's basically limited to chat/emails (no webcam ever, he calls me once a day for a short time but I cant reach him because he's in a remote area).
He's trying to convince me to take one year off from school and I wasn't sure because I'm so close to being done (2 semesters left) and plus, I know how common it is for people to say "oh I'll go back" and it never happens. I'm very scared of not having a degree. I will have to overcome the laziness though and be strong...however, right now I feel the best thing to do is at least take one or two online/independent study courses while living with him overseas. I would also be attending a school to learn more Arabic which would really help me with my major (comparative religions/Islamic/religious studies).
Phew.. sorry for that essay. I'm soooo nervous. He should be calling any time, if any of you guys can take 2 seconds to make a dua it would be greatly appreciated
