"Please, don't worry. I'll make sure you get better. I can show you how to reduce your stress without having to quit your job. But you really have to trust me and follow my advice, Chris" I explain. Chris nodes and softly grabs my left hand. His skin is rough, but very warm. Just looking at his huge hand holding my little one makes me blush.
"I promise I'll do anything you say, just get me out of this please!" he says, looking me into the eyes..

An hour and a black coffee later I wrote a list and explained him his possibilities to save himself from the burnout. I had to promise him to keep in touch through WhatsApp while he finishes his buisness trip. Then I can help him anytime and watch his progress..

Time flies by and soon it's already 12 o'clock. Chris has to go, he says it's already another buisness appointment.
"I loved spending time with you Jo. I can't think of how to thank you for what you've done, you're an angel. When I come back from my buisness trip I'll take you out to some real fancy dinner" he promises and I chuckle. As I watch him drive away I can still feel his hug and his strong hand gently rubbing my back.
I've known this man for just 12 hour and I already feel like we have known each other forever, it feels like I can talk to him about anything.. .

During our conversation Chris told me about his ex-girlfriend, who was crazy about money and wanted him to work more and more! He did so because he loved her, but while he was away earning money she took advantage of him and lived in his house, stealing his money. Finally he left her because he noticed what kind of person she was.
I also told Chris about my crazy ex-boyfriend Tom, who was a pilot and never had time for me. Even if he was at home every second Thursday, he watched soccer or went hiking with his friends, but he didn't spend time with me. I played his bills, he lived with me because he couldn't find a cheap flat for himself.
At the end I had the feeling that I didn't know this man anymore. Some months we didn't even speak one word with each other.
Finally I got to know that he had cheated on me multiple times when he and the flight attendants spent the night in a hotel 2000 miles away.
I never want to go though something like this again! That's why I stayed away from men in the past.

I can understand that you have to travel abroad for some time but it should never be like this.
I still think a lot about Tom and just like Chris I am afraid to be exploited like this again. We both trusted people we thought were good, but we got disappointed very badly...
