I can't even imagine being away from my husband! We're not nuts, or co-dependent or anything, but we're pretty much inseperable. We're both fortunate enough to work at home (he's an artist and as you know, I once practiced law, but now I write). We also spent 20 apart after first (well, maybe it was the second time) falling in love.

It sounds like you have an awesome wife that's standing by you. That's a wonderful thing. I don't really have any words of encouragement because well, in practical terms, whatever I say will change nothing, but imagine how sweet the reunion will be once you're finally out. :)
