The main reason for posting this question was merely curiosity. Many things factor into relationships not making it. And it isn't a matter of not loving each other either. The stresses of this process, regardless of knowing what you sign up for in the beginning, can become more than one or both ever expected. Yes, you should know what you signed up for when you start this whole relationship, marriage, immigration process. And majority do, and believe they can make it through these stresses....but no one knows the extent until you go through it. 
 
This was not a post in relation to my own marriage or our own stresses with this wait to be together.  It was just as I said, merely curiosity.....thank you everyone for their opinions. 

My husband and I have faced so much anxiety and depression through this whole process but never does divorce come to our minds.  We have thought of moving to a neutral place until this is over but to be honest the stress from us both moving, transitioning children, finding jobs, having enough money to survive is just to great for us to deal with  right now.   There are many couples that have to live apart for different reasons.  Military wives do it all the time why their husbands go on tour.  I just keep telling myself this is temporary (even though we are on year 2) one day we will look back at what we had to endure to live together it will be a constant reminder to be thankful for each time we drive each other crazy.   

We sent our I-751 on October 1st by USPS, too. It was delivered October 3rd. I forgot to do the form requesting notification that USCIS received our package! So now we just have to wait for a reply by mail. I hope and pray that we’ll all receive approval and get the conditions lifted. VJ has been so helpful! 😊

Biometrics.
Wait some more.
Then an RFE and/or interview or neither of those.
Then a decision.

This morning it changed to administrative processing and a few hours later it changed to issued.
 
I was really getting worried. Glad it is over.
