Being in a long-distance relationship feels very taxing today.  Each time a way we can be together doesn’t work out or is turned down, I feel like the distance multiplies.  This has been a major stress factor in our relationship lately.  I don’t want to give up— not at all— but I am very sad on the inside and jealous of the couples who were able to be together over the holidays.  It’s neither of our faults that things turned out this way, but now that he hasn’t been able to get a visa, I feel more nervous.  I’m at a very in-between time in my life right now, and there are times when I feel like I’m just in the wrong place.  There isn’t much I can do right now.
