Dear Partner- I miss your smells in the morning, at night, in the evening, in the bathroom, on Saturdays, on the weekends, during the weekday, after school, before work, during your conferences, after dessert, before beer, after you wake, before you eat garlic, during a movie, while you sleep, before you eat onions, while you read, after you surf the web, Love, Partner ....

therapy

http://travelsickness.blogspot.com/

i set this up as a therapy to mend our troubles and upload our anxiety, frustrations and fill with love.

What Last Kiss?

All we had was a lousy hug (tap, tap...), if we can even call it that.

trav.el (verb)

trav.el (verb)

1. to go from one place to another, as by car, train, plane, or ship; take a trip; journey: to travel for pleasure.

2. to proceed or advance in any way.

3. to go from place to place as a representative of a business firm.

How long can we last without getting sick of the excitement, lack of routine and sense of place?

No Place like Home

My partner left again for another business trip to Asia. We ran into issues two days prior. I know it was all the stress coming from both sides. This is just the beginning of Miscommunication.

Since her last return, we have forgotten how trips take a toll on our relationship as if life comes to a halt. The partner leaving home may look forward to change, fleeing from mundane chores, facing mishaps and adventure. The partner staying may look forward to calmness, routine and familiar comforts.

On the otherhand, the partner leaving may dread having to rush around to get things done last minute, buy last minute trip things, pack, back pay bills, set up meetings over Skype, make hotel accommodations, reserve and confirm flight schedules and anticipate the harsh loneliness of leaving home. Partner staying despise the abandonment, dreads having to cook alone, clean, take care of kids/pets, shop, pay bills, deal with family issues and Partner One's panic and anxiety before, during and after his/her time away.

We blame each other for the things we have no control over. We have been arguing non-stop since take off over fuzzy Internet calls and miscommunicated text messages. The only time things are going well are when we talk about silly, little everyday things that might make us laugh for a moment of digression or two. Do all couples have a hard time adjusting to this crazy business travel?

This blog will document our time apart and all the mundane to deep issue-ridden fears, anger and joys that may either bring us together, or tear us apart. Will this help us mend our travel sickness or help us realize that this was never meant to be?

Here's to another 4-week sprint of battling with time difference, fuzzy reception, lack of immediate emotional and physical support and the loss of routine investments everyday.

Wish us luck!
