This is the first time that me and my husband are apart. I know there are many challenges to overcome with but I know with God, we can do this. It is better to do this sacrifice for our future and to give our 2 kids a better life.
Loneliness
I really hate the feeling when I accompanied my husband to the airport. I couldn't keep my tears from falling everytime I can think that we will be apart for 3 years, that I can't kiss him everytime I need to go to work, hold his hand, embrace him and be there when our kids need him. I always remind myself that this is for our future but everytime I can see some of his belongings, I cant keep the pain, the loneliness that I felt then suddenly tears fall again :( but we need to be strong, this is just one of the challenges that we need to face being in a long distance relationship. I know this situation will get better day by day. I just need to be optimistic.Communication
For their first month of training they have limited access to the internet. They can only use it for 2 hours between 7:30pm - 9:30pm every Sunday and as what the Manager of their agency said during the last meeting that this strict rule is for them, because the more they communicate the more they cant focus and feel the homesickness. I understand it but as a wife with 2 kids, this is difficult to bare. We need to communicate with my husband to ease the loneliness and for the children to be aware that their father is still there for them. Okay just a month with limited communication and every minute and second count, rule is a rule, better have 2 hours of communication than nothing at all. I know after their training, we can communicate as we wanted. THINK POSITIVE.Trust
Most of my friends who were able to work in Japan said that there are lots of temptations there. They said that, mostly women are the one who will do the first move and I was shocked that most of them are Filipinas some are of different nationalities. They said that mostly are Filipinas who are separated with their Japanese husbands. I am not sure if that is true but Oh! Oh! I know temptations are everywhere but I do trust my husband. Before he left I made sure to him what's the consequence and what will happen to our family if he will commit infidelity. He assures me that he understands and will be faithful and do what he suppose to do in Japan, he doesn't want our family to be broken. I trust him and I can feel that he is sincere to his words.WE NEED TO TRUST THE PERSON WE LOVE.
Moral Support
Working abroad is not an easy task. I know I need to give him my full support, understanding and love and with these, I know we can survive with this long distance relationship and at the end we both can shout proudly and say "WE MADE IT".**Stay positive. Pray to God for guidance and he will do the rest.
