Yes....the hardest part is leaving each other at the airport faced with weeks or months of being apart.....it kills you inside....but you have to be strong. Since Maris and I met last July I have been fortunate enough to mix holidays with business trips so I really cannot complain, though still hurts. First had our face to face meeting on the 17th July 2009 whilst I was on a business trip, then returned 3 weeks later on my vacation for 2 weeks. Back again 6 weeks later for business and vacation and then 8 weeks apart until I returned on vacation at xmas.Was back there on business 3 weeks ago....however we don't have a date for my return as we are waiting for my divorce and then we will apply for the fiancee visa and finally live together in UK.Now is the hardest as we have no date to focu son.....leaving at the airport 3 weeks ago was the worst....but as I said we need to be strong, we have our whole lives to look forward to........
