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.
my partner and i did long distance between Netherlands (me) and Germany (her) for a couple of years. since she doesn’t like my home country (UK), we decided we would try it out together in Germany. After just over a year, I can honestly say I did not enjoy my stay for multiple reasons, and decided to move back to the Netherlands. my partner is now trying to move over from Germany to see if she likes it over here. its basically our last shot together, since if this doesn’t work, what else is there?
I’m really glad you posted this question though, I feel like this is quietly an enormously heart wrenching and difficult undertaking, to be in this situation, which isn’t widely recognised in general. big love and all the best to all you international lovers out there!
