[QUOTE="4PawsSake, post: 635843, member: 17993"] SHE'S NOT COMING!!!!!! Him and I had a really naked conversation. We managed to strip away all of the emotion we both feel and stepped outside and hovered over it like it was someone else' situation. We made it neutral for a few moments. We decided to put the ball in HER court and let her do some work. Knowing we had a Skype date to discuss plans lastnight. We left it up to HER to make the initial contact. NOTHING!! I was on pins and needles since the time difference is three hours. We waited until 11:00 pm here (9:00 there). Now WE (everyone on this forum) knows that she will come up with some excuse (YOU didn't contact me, yadda yada yada) but we're not accepting excuses. We also made critical decisions that in the future IF she ever lands her, SHE will buy that ticket $1300.00 (round trip with open return date) after she does specific personal homework. However, we'd only be open to it after a month from now and we discussed how long we'd have her (3 months tops). After that, we both had a good stiff drink, filled our bellies with delivered pizza and slept like babies!!!! Thank you all sooooo much for your support! I realize there is always going to be storms brewing but I feel good knowing that I'm on the same page with my husband! Wendy Frustrated but hopeful [/QUOTE]
