Hey guys. I’m 25F. I was raised in the Middle East, Dubai/Bahrain and have had a fabulous life there. I moved to italy a couple of years ago and loved it way more than I liked the Middle East. It started to feel like home there. I’m a national of a horrible weak country so I don’t have the option to just pack my bags up and move.
My husband is American so I moved to America about 4 days ago but am finding it extremely hard to adjust. I’ve travelled here before but have not loved it as much so moving here permanently has been extremely challenging. I keep crying everyday no matter what I do, I’m struggling to adapt and fit in.
Any advice to overcome this?
While she didn’t move countries for me, my wife(girlfriend at the time)moved half way across Canada, a very large country, to follow me. She hated it in our new city. She had a very tough time adjusting. She also gave up a much better job than the new one she took on. I’ve always felt grateful for her making this sacrifice. She finally confirmed in me after about 6 months. She hid it from me very well. Now almost 24 years later, I am looking at making the move half way across Canada for her. It will cost me a very good job, but she’s worth it, and she did it for me. I’m sorry none of that will really help you, but you really need to speak to your husband. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to speak to someone professionally. There are people out there to speak to. I wish you the best.
