Stressful Times and Long Distance Relationships

Looking forward to a brighter tomorrow
My boss and I were talking the other day about the most stressful moments in a person's life. These include:
- A New Job / New work responsibilities
- Moving houses
- Having a baby (or more so, giving birth)
- Getting married
Hmmm did I miss anything else? Oh, maybe experiencing any of these in the middle of a long distance relationship?
Not just maybe, but experiencing the above plus being in a long distance relationship is most definitely more stressful than ever…
Dodong and I are both in stressful moment #1. I am in a new job, while Dodong is deluged with new work responsibilities. As in he is swamped and super duper stressed with the ton of work.
I must admit, it is harder now to find the time to sit down and chat over YM. I find myself in meetings the whole day with hardly any access to my laptop, plus we don't have internet at the home (super bummer). Then Dodong is also busy at work, then he gets home late (when it is 4-hours later here in Manila with the time difference). So I do find myself very lonely and alone… 
It's a good thing I have the gym and new found office friends to keep me company and help release the stress from work and the long distance relationship circumstance we're in. I am really praying hard that we both get through this together. I know we can.
Have you been in a similar stressful situation as ours too?
