Does anyone else have the experience of being in a relationship where you’re from different countries but you met and started a life in a third? And then you tried to live in either of your home countries but your relationship somehow works better when you’re in a third country?

Or am I alone in this? It’s a very strange existence.

    Definitely the case for us, I think moving to his / my country will give one of us an unfair advantage (proximity to family, language, employment opportunities, financial stability, existing friendships) that can create tension. In fact, when we met I made it pretty clear to him that I do not intend to move from where we are to his country in the future, since it’s a pretty common thing.
