Hi Susie.
I can understand that frustration. On the one hand, you want to be with your S.O., but on the other hand you're in a country that doesn't suit you.
I lived outside the US for a while too--in a tiny town. Getting close to the end of my time there, I couldn't take it anymore. I counted days too. I ended up leaving that country a month earlier than planned because I didn't want to deal with it. I think it was a great decision and I have no regrets. However, you have a s.o. there, so your situation is different. Well, before I left, I tried more to involve myself more with the local people, participate more. And I spoke the language, so that helped. Can you try to explore the country that you're in? What's there to see? What's something that you can learn to do while you're there? What does that country make best? Where's the best restaurant in town? etc. Check out that tiny museum in your town. These little things can help the time go by faster. |
