Later...we patched things up I was on the receiving end of a severe dose of the silent treatment....

When my wife was in Cavite, in the run up to her application, she found, with the 8 hour time difference and chatting to me each day for long hours she found she was losing sleep, her routine was a mess and she began to get insomnia too, especially with the stress of waiting. Came out in spots too. And was particularly irrateable.

That's all behind her now. Once she got her Spouse Visa, that made a lot of difference.......
