Hi All,
I have a problem. My guys visitation is smack dab in the middle of the week in the morning. It takes over 2 hours to get there. Obviously I have to work to make the bills. I can get an exceptional visit once a month at my convenience. How should I ask my man this without letting him down?? I will be starting a new job next week and I don't know if they are willing to give me half days every Wednesday. HELP!! I don't know how to approach this topic with him. He knows my dedication, but my budget will start to flounder if I keep it up. Thanks.

My advice to you would be that you be totally up front and honest with him about everything. Your new job, your budget and your finances. He will understand and support you. Good luck and God Bless.

Be upfront with him. Let him know for right now your visits will have to be limited to once a month.

I agree with the other replys. My husband is nine hours. Our child is in school and there is no way I am taking him out once a week to go see him. My husband is very important to me and our family, but my sons education only comes once. My husband understands and awaits that one day a month. We discuss the date so he knows when I am coming. Also he knows when the snow hits it will be months before I see him again and he is ok with that as well as I will not drive that far in the snow. We both know it is hard but we also know it will come to end. We await the day for the end. He may get upset as I know this situation is making you upset as well but it will all work out. Just a small bump in the road to give you more strength. Good Luck!

While he's on the inside you have to do whatever it takes to survive on the outside. I'm sure it might be difficult at time for him and he really wants to see you, but I'm sure he'll understand that you have bill and hae to take care of his needs while locked down. Tell him the honest truth and take it from there. Good luck and be strong

Be honest and tell him..for if you not honest now.. things start to get dishonest.. you dont want to get in to that mode.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
