sigh…
Living at my sister’s for two weeks was good. I got drunk one night, and had a 2 day hangover. That was bad - 2 whole days on one bottle of red wine. Great wine though, but I would say I am getting old. I was cold, her house may as well not had walls it was so cold, and then when i was sleeping in her bed, the three dooners she had on the bed basically meant that I was forced to lie still like i was trapped under their weight.
I am so tired this week, stress from work has been mounting, and I applied for another job, within the same company, just doing a different role. Would be good if I get it, because it would be out of the firing line in some aspects. I applied for it because MM thought it would be a good opportunity for me. So did my parents and friends, but I really wanted to just ditch my job and move over to be with MM.
I got an email from an immigration person who said that MM and I don’t qualify as defacto because we haven’t lived together, we’d have to get married. I told him that last night. Then of course, him saying I should apply for the job, means I would have to be here another 6 months at least. It’s an emotional issue, and we got a little snappy at eachother, because I really don’t want to do the long distance thing forever. I broke down and cried for a bit, I think in my head I had committed myself to leaving, and was getting ready for it, and now I feel like the rug has been pulled out from underneath me.
I don’t know what to do anymore. I just want him to make up his mind about what he wants. He kept changing the subject to something less serious, but this is very serious. I know however, it’s probably not the best time for us to talk about it because I am so stressed, and probably a little too emotional. He’s probably stressed about it as well.. but it did remind me of X and he’s nothing like X, so it’s an unfair, irrational comparison.

That’s a bummer. Are you unable to enter on a visitor’s/work/student visa and then apply for a different visa once you are there? Just a thought.

Then he needs to come over here for a while. You’ve been there, its his turn now.
There are relationship visas available in Australia. My cousin and her sweetie are currently working out their stuff. They did have a hiccup and he had to leave the country and return, so they went to bali for a week.
Frankly if he’s expecting you to pull up roots and come to him you should be able to expect the same from him. Your life and your family and roots here are just as important as his are.

under the current rules, no… we have to be together 12 months. OR we get married.

the rules for the visas are strict. apparently australia doesn’t like immigrants.
