Aberkok, I haven't read your journals, but I can definitely empathize from my own summer. I was doing fieldwork in Zambia and Iceland for near 3 months, with back-to-back travel (didn't come home between these countries), and missed my boyfriend horribly. I mean, HORRIBLY.
Somehow I made it through Zambia, even though one of the (very small) group embodied everything that I hated and she drove me nuts. I also had no way of communicating with the outside world (not even writing snail-mail, let alone having cell phone coverage).
But once I got to Iceland, I really think I got depressed for the whole month. I did my work but still hated being so far away from my love, and the daily phone calls were only a mild balm. I had no internet in the place where I was staying, which would have helped so much. Basically I just had to live through it, every dragging day... but it did end, believe it or not.
And you will go home. And you will be with your wife again. Just keep slogging through each day, and eventually they WILL pass, and you will feel better again. (Oh, and post here, of course.)
