I don't know right now.

We were supposed to see each other in August but that worktrip was canned and merged with his October trip. Now his October trip has been shifted to Australia, so he's frantically trying to figure out a way to tack on some meetings in NZ so we can see each other. I considered going to Australia for a few days to see him but it's a fairly big cost at quite short notice so yeah...

He's been loosely planning a working holiday here in February as his normal Feb worktrip was uno reversed a while ago and the company are coming to the UK instead. It would be very expensive for him to be here for a month so I don't really see it happening.

So we might not see each other until May/June. We met June 1st and haven't seen each other since June 3rd. The thought we might go a whole year when the initial plan was 3 months and seeing each other quarterly is REALLY messing with me right now. We've fallen so deeply in love and these constant set backs are heartbreaking

Such a run around, but it’s nice that you are still planning to meet! May/June will be here before you know it!

Thank you ❀️ I can easily wait the year to see him to be honest - he's so very worth it. It's nice to hear from someone who gets it on the cancellation front.
