Q: I am frustrated with life as I am depressed and cannot work properly. I am in China and my wife has no time to speak me. I don't know what is in her mind but this depresses me. I cannot concentrate properly on work. Kindly suggest something to clear this. Should I divorce her?

A:One really feels lonely in a foreign country especially where one does not share the language. Moreover, if there are problems in communication despair get multiplied. I suggest that if your wife does not or cannot call you, YOU call her and clear the cobwebs.
