Really sorry to hear this Mick, very sad for both of you.

When my partner was here in Nov 2007 she lasted a week before the homesickness set in and she was begging me to let her go back, she was only here for a 2 month holiday but it was understandable as our son could not join us at that time. I have watched the pain that my partner was clearly in at that time and I can only imagine that you wife would have been experiencing similar emotions.

In our case Ana went home 2 weeks early and I was very hurt at the time as we had nice things planned that were one off experiences in our lives and were all cast aside.

Ana and I are still together and have two kids now not just the one and yet again she suffered the same homesickness when she had to go to Korea earlier this year even though it was her desire and plan, it really can just be so hard for a Filipina to be separated from her family and familiar surroundings.

So sorry for you both.


Jim
