"Long distance relationship (LDR)again?"
Blog#181:15 March 16,2022
It's been awhile since my partner started to look for a trusted agency as he really wanted to go back to work abroad. He had attended lots of interviews online from different agencies, but because of the low salary rates he always declined the offer . Sometimes we can even thought that some employers are taking advantage with the current situation, as they know that lots of people have lost their job and for now they can't have any choice but to accept the offer, which is really sad. And now the gas price keeps on raising, and since my partner's work is being a grab driver it is really affecting his earnings so he had no choice but to pursue the previous plan.
Honestly our plans was we will be leaving together after our son turned one year old, but since our budget was tight this time, we decided to let him go first then once he started receiving his salary he will support my expenses for my requirements so I can also go back to work abroad again.
This plan is not to let our son live alone, and made him feel lonely this is for the better. Life is tough and it's getting harder, we need to sacrifice. We will be working together for his future, as we don't want him to have a hard life. My partner really wanted to send our son to a good school and so do I, so we will be working so hard for him.
As a parent we wanted him to have a good future, and we also need to prepare for our retirement. We don't have any plan to put some pressure to our son once we get older, that is why we need to be financially stable before we get older. We don't want to bother our son, I mean we don't want to be his burden in the future. Our son is not our investment so we will also be working for our own future. Of course he can help us if he wanted too 😊, but we won't expect about it that much.
So yesterday, my partner had a phone call, an overseas phone call to be exact, as an employer call him for interview. After, for about 20-25 minutes I guess, he finally closed the deal. Actually the salary didn't meet his expectation, as for his skills the salary is quite cheap but he then just accept the offer as he really wanted to work. Besides this time the salary is much better than the other offer that he got from his previous interviews.
We choose to work abroad because sad to say the salary here in our country (Philippines) isn't that big enough to support our monthly bills and daily expenses so we have to do some sacrifices.
He will wait for a call from the agency for his requirements and after that, he will be leaving us.
Being in a Long Distance Relationship is hard. I don't actually know if everything will be okay. When we we're still boyfriend and girlfriend we use to block each other in Facebook and messenger as we always have a fight due to misunderstanding. In four years I actually didn't expect that we can still be together and have a child as we use to break up for so many times 😅. However I trusted him a lot, despite with the never ending fights that we had, he never betray me. Hopefully this time, he stays the same, I mean being loyal. Our fight's might be so tiring but my heart never get tired of loving him.
Furthermore I feel sad for our son, I know at his age he don't need anything but our love and protection but I know one day he will do understand.
Right now I wanted to cherish this moment that were still together, i mean the three of us. I will surely miss our family time and I will surely miss him and for sure our son too. Everyday whenever our son hear the sound of the motorcycle engine he always says "PAPA", even if it's not his Papa who came, he is always excited to see his papa.
Oh it's breaking my heart 🥺. I suddenly felt so sad for my little one.
Anyway this is all for today guy's and thank you for reading me.
