Quoting ciko: ahhhh the most pathetic post i have read on this site. Congratulations to elisabeth, chiristine and their lucky husbands. I admire peope like you..people who dont care what people think and dont give up and pursue their happiness.  |
Of course I care what people think. I wouldn't be human if I didn't. My feelings were so hurt about how people spoke so venomously about my kind of situation. But after years of hearing how crazy I am - I think I just know better now. Some people are just negative about love in general.

You've got that very strong spirit of great determination and i admire women with this positive atttitude though sometimes negatively affected, but still stand and keep affirmative on their own conviction and principles.

Congratulations Christine!! I am happy you are home safely and Omer will be here shortly!!
We have both been going through the same things, and I was glad to have found you on this site and lucky that you don't live that far away from me. It was nice to have someone that understood to talk to.
As you know, I will still be separated from my love for awhile longer (It has already been over 2 years of separations with short visits in between). I have faith that everything will work out!!
Once again I am happy for you and hope to "catch up" when your schedule permits.
Talk to you soon,
Lovebug (Wendy)

Thank you all for the kind words and good wishes! We both feel quite fortunate to have overcome so much to be together. I want to reply to some comments- "strong" "not caring what people think". Well, I am not that strong- but our love and his love of me is incomprehensible- I have blossomed in ways I never imagined. I found an inner strength I never knew I had- as did he. I've never much cared for what people think of me, so that was not a huge hurdle. All that matters is that we will be together in a few short weeks...
Again,
Your support means so much! I hope other cross cultural couples who find real love are inspired!
Sincerely,
Christine

It is nice to hear a American-Turkish love story ending well. I am in the middle of a fiance visa myself. I have visited him twice, in addition to the first time I met him and we fell in love. I know what you mean by finding inner-strength. We are 4 months into the fiance visa, and one year into a relationship. The language barrier is the most difficult thing. Congratulations!

It certainly is nice to hear positive relationship stories! I have been dying not seeing Omer for the past four days...We talked this morning, and now he is coming in Septenber. The hardest part of our journey is ahead- he is giving up everything he knows for the uncertain.
I want to recommend for any American seeking information about visas:
visajourney.com This site provided me with invaluable visa information.
Love is a beautiful thing!
