Gone Again

[agj25us]

My Partner from Mexico left yesterday for his 2 1/2 month "back to Mexico routine".
He comes up each year on a Visa (to work and live with me) - but part of the Immigration process is that he must return home each Winter. (Plus he has Family that he does want to see).
Each year (FOR TEN YEARS) we say that we are okay with this seperation, and that it is not going to be difficult. But each year it gets worse when it actually come time for him to leave.
We hugged and shed tears once again at the Airport yesterday, like we also had at home......
The house is SO quiet once again......
I don't know what the point of this Thread is.....but JUB members always share - so I'm sharing.
I guess I'm just asking for a shoulder.......hope you don't mind!
Thanks.....

I'm sorry

That's got to be hard. I hope you're at least able to communicate with him while he's gone.

I'm sure this is a difficult time--- even if you knew it was coming. Hang in there--- I hope the time passes swiftly for you!!

For TEN YEARS?????

My mother was a missionary in China for a couple years and she helped several Chinese immigrate with NO RETURNS to China.

What's the deal???

Is immigrating from Mexico more difficult???? or, does he need a new lawyer????

Just curious. I'm not trying to be harsh as I understand how difficult it must be for you.

Well that must be hard for you both!

In the 11 years my husband & I have been together the longest we have spent apart was 2 days when he went to California for a workshop!
I felt like I had lost a limb!

I guess absence makes the heart grow founder and you guys must be used to the seperation but anyway!

It would break my heart -- every year, every single year. There's no two ways about it.

I can't imagine how much joy you have when he gets back.

Sorry to hear about your seperation. I understand how you feel. My boyfriend is on sabatical, and has been away for 100 days today. I will go visit him 9600 miles away, in January, but he doesn't return to the U.S.A. until the end of July 2007. I hope the time passes quickly for you. Love will triumph.

No, your not being harsh - I appreciate your comments.
One of the problems is the long wait for any "unskilled" Mexican to get permanent papers here. Secondly, the type of Visa "H2B" he is on each year is only good for 10 months and it is difficult to extend it. Thirdly, he does have Family in Mexico and he is very devoted to all his Family.
So going back home is really a thing of necessity, we accept that - like I said it just seems to get harder each time.
Thanks

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for the both of you. I can only hope that the powers-that-be will move more swiftly to grant your partner the proper documentation so that you can both get past all this. The only good thing in this is that he is able to spend that time with his family. I hope the next couple of months go quickly for you both.
