Meg, honestly I think if you went back home, you would be better off. The support you can have with your family and friends may be the best thing for you. Waiting two weeks for him to get back home has got to be stressful and the fact that you know he is only going to be there a short time just to leave again. With family around you'll be able to put your mind else where and also be around familiar and comfortable settings.

I like all this empty space because i can now type out things that are important.
