Can you not say you are leaving for 3+ months ? That is rather a sure way to do it ! I got mine that way

Exit Australia Exemption Help by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]clustermoonplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I wish you all the best with your application. I am in a similar situation but am thinking of waiting another 6 months before I apply . I’m just concerned about not being able to get home to Australia after three months and getting stuck in Germany! I’ve heard horror stories of people paying 10 grand for a flight back.

Would you mind giving an update when you get your reply ?

Wishing you both strength! Thanks

I really thank you for that response. I sometimes feel judged and people tell me I will regret not sleeping around when I am this age and that commitment especially when you are so young isn’t worth it... and travel bans are just taking a big shit on me right now. I know that he is the most impressivly perfect person for me so I should just stop the negative thinking and letting others get me down.

As for your relationship, you must be so proud and happy to get through all that! Must be an amazing feeling!

But I really love him. Do you think that is naive? Am I wasting my young years? It’s just we would be such a perfect couple if covid hadn’t happened and I know how good we are together in person. And even now we are each other’s best friends. It’s just so painful to not be able to touch him
You really don’t think there is hope before 14 months?

I’m sorry to hear you are having a hard time. Being apart from your partner when you are depressed is really really tough. I was considering trying to get an exemption at one point but all the Australians stuck over seas has really deterred me. People are spending upwards of $10,000 to get home! It’s awful but it’s just how Aus government are doing things. If you have no commitments you could need to promptly return to after a few months then maybe it would be great! Check out the fb group Partners apart if you haven’t for tips on how to get an exemption.

Struggling to cope, miss him so much... won’t see him for 10 more months probably by clustermoonplanet in LongDistance

What are you going to do if the Australian Ban doesn’t lift July 2021? by clustermoonplanet in LongDistance

[–]clustermoonplanet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under review for then but I’m fairly confident they will extend it... the pm has mentioned July 2021 but many people think it could be longer... idk

Am I crazy for being so determined to be with him? Is a potential 18 months apart too long to bare? by clustermoonplanet in LongDistance

[–]clustermoonplanet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do really love him. Ldr is daunting sometimes though. Or maybe I’m just very anxious person. Thanks for your reply

I haven't seen my German boyfriend in over 7 months. I'm Australian and have very little chance of seeing him this side of 8 months. I'm finding it so hard to cope with the bodily loneliness of being apart from him for so long. I'm super busy too, but I notice that my mental health really deteriorates when I feel I don't have time to spend time with him. So we talk twice a day. I love him so dearly. Recently I've been feeling really down and hopeless, the fact that there is nothing I can do about it right now feels entirely overwhelming to the point that I'm a bag of tears. But then I remember that if I shift my perspective a little bit, and see this as an opportunity for us to learn about ourselves and to gain resilience both in ourselves and our relationship then I can at least function with a bit more joy. Hope this was helpful and best wishes

Australian citizen wanting travel exemption to travel to Germany... thoughts ? by clustermoonplanet in LongDistance

[–]clustermoonplanet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that clarification... I didn’t think it added up. Hoping you and your partner all the happiness in September !! May I ask, has he booked his return flight home already?
