Hello, Please help me today, I need to feel better and calmer than I do now.

My boyfriend, who loves me and I love him. His company is sending him to Porto Rico for a year maybe more. He tried looking for another compay but has been unsuccessful for six months. So now in a month he will have to go away. The area is not good for finding a place for a couple. I talked with the boss and he is leaving his wife and children, also due to the housing issues. The boss feels bad about leaving his family but he tried to have his wife and kids there at a diferent time and it was too difficult (schooling issues and the wife was very unhappy with the enviroment). His advice was to see each other as often as possible and if the relationship is meant to be then it will stengthen the reationship not hurt it.
Right now it hurts!

I,too, would be very unhappy about the situation, but like his boss said, if its meant to be it will strengthen the relationship, not hurt it. Like they say, "abscence makes the heart grow fonder" which i believe to be very true! Do what you can to keep busy while he's gone, keep in touch with him as much as possible and the time will fly! And hopefully good will come out of the situation, not bad! God always gives us test in life---for the best! Keep a journal while he's gone and if you would like let him read it when he comes home! What's meant to be WILL BE! Just hang in there and if you need to talk--feel free to e mail me! it always helps to talk to someone! Good luck! Hope all goes well!
