Hey Diletta,

Yes, changing certain behavior can be challenging. I agree, I should try one step a at time.. everything is already too overwhelming.

Thank you for your kind words and advice!

Michelle,

Thank you. 

I admit I have difficulty on giving myself any credit.

I’m glad I decided to post here, I actually had never heard of this blog before. I want to take the time to read other posts and even help any one I can in the forums. I haven’t had much time this week, but hopefully I’m able to explore more over the weekend.

It’s funny you mentioned the email. I actually sent him an email last night talking about our relationship and thanking him for what he’s done for us so far.

I would really like to sent him letter but unfortunately he can’t receive mail there.

I’m afraid I can’t help with the refunds as everything is under his name. He’s having a hard time with it but he is working with his command to get government documents to prove there was a good cause for cancelling the trip.

Exactly. The English test will help me a lot in the future so I will take the time to focus on that.

I think in a month or so we will find out his next post, then I will be able to do some research on the location, possible jobs, etc.

Anita,

I’ve realized I spent a lot of time complaining this week and none of these complaints are going to change the facts, so I am working on that at the moment. 

So one of my main goals is to give him less stress than he already has.

It won’t make me feel better and it will only make him feel worse.

My only fear is to lose him, so you are totally right about that.

I would like to thank you all one more time.

I am most of the time aware of all these things but when it comes to actually doing them,  I get stuck.

I’ve realized that writing these posts, reading them to myself helps better than just “thinking about it”, and receiving advice from different perspectives (especially from people I don’t know) has helped me a lot.

Tomorrow (Saturday for me) is my birthday and I have been really depressed that he won’t be here to celebrate with me, nor next week as he was supposed to. 

Instead of feeling miserable, I plan to do one of my favorite things: watch a good TV show and eat some good food. 

As an introvert, I quite like to spend time alone. But I also have planned to go out with some of my colleagues which I hope will be a good time.

I’ll let you know how are things are going soon.. I hope you guys have a good weekend!
