Spent the evening looking at plane tickets to the US but got so frustrated after realizing that no matter which flights I take I'll still be wasting three days in transit. One week together is not enough... will never be enough.
I am so greedy. I can't imagine flying all the way there, only to spend one week with him, and having to fly back again all alone. I don't know which is worse--not seeing each other at all, or seeing each other for a few days and then having to bear the pain of separating again. I am dying to see him, but I am also scared of the unhappiness that will wash over me after we part. I already know that I will be dreadfully unhappy after that short period of happiness. I don't know what to do

Why is life so full of tough decisions?

I am itching to draw up a complete S.W.O.T. for your case, but since we have a long day tmr, I'll just sketch out the simplest scenarios for you (which I'm sure you know deep down but just need a 3rd party to confirm XD).
If you go: you'll be HAPPY, your misery will dissolve and usually the happy memories go on to be soul food for the next spell of being an ocean apart.
If you don't go: you'll just keep on thinking about 'being all alone here', and your misery and displeasure will continue to pile up.
Which would you like more one month later, a once full, now emptied trash bin or a 2/3 full trash bin?
If you ask me, I would just take a few more days of unpaid leave :p How come? Just compare a few thousand bucks (a few thousand bucks) to 5 MORE days in the presence of your beloved (priceless). (I want to insert the MasterCard logo here... hahaha)
@jcysu - Haha you are absolutely brilliant!
You're right.... I need the soul food!!! *famished*
