I've been holding up the fort silently while chaos ensues all around.
My legal status in the country I'm in with my girl is about to be withdrawn.
Under normal circumstances, there's not much a man could do about this. But I know the right people and strings and being pulled. However, things are still up in the air.
It's been stressing me a bit but I've kept it to myself, away from the ltr.
I've been sick for a week as well, my work has suffered as a result. The work that pays for everything.
She came home tonight from her restaurant job, basically a job I made her get so I can be alone and work in peace. Because I'm coming out of sickness I spent the night cooking an awesome seafood dish for us.
She didn't respect it. I've been weak lately building massive sites, handling clients and staff and being sick while battling immigration issues.
I didn't know how to convey to her how stupid she was for not respecting the meal I cooked.
So I told her.
In 10 days its likely I have to leave you here and go back to my country.
I let that fear settle in, suddenly her little problems disappeared.
Who's going to pay for the house? Who's going to pay for the groceries?
"I dunno"
Let that fear settle in more.
Now she's on my team, now she appreciates what I do for us.
I think I have the problem solved but I left her hanging.
She suddenly loved what I cooked.
