As my colleagues on the panel have said, we all have these feelings from time to time, I just left my beloved back in Philippines, its only for 3 weeks, and I have been back 1 week and already I am suicidal, its so boring here in the house without my beloved, she says same there in Philippines, being apart by long distance is never easy.
We just work our way through it day by day, by being in touch with like minded ones, try and stay close to some friends thats why Filipinos always are in groups, they feel safer, whereas we Europeans, (in Yves honour) stick to ourselves and don't hang out in groups.
As Ian has said already quite well, getting your dearest into UK, seems like a mountain at the time, but time does take care of it, and in the end, you look back and wonder what all the fuss was about, I remember my time, it was not the best time of my life, in fact I was suicidal at times, what kept me strong was the thought of my wife in my arms at the airport, and in the end, I went to fetch her, and we came back together, Ian has said, its all worth it in the end, I second him in that.
