I’m just a bit heartbroken and could do with some support.
My partner and I met in a country that we both are not from (I’ve been here for most of my life, but it is notoriously difficult to get permanent residency here so I am on a work visa). We’ve been dating for a year and he’s everything I’ve wanted, and more.
We’ve had a couple of difficult conversations over the last few days and have realised that there’s no way to make this relationship work. I want to move to a country that he has no interest in going to, and vice versa.
I don’t know how to deal with the pain of knowing that this was the right person, just the wrong time. On top of that, is this my fate as an expat? Should I only date once I know where I want to “settle down”, so to speak?
No. Go on with open eyes and heart, but be prepared on compromise.
I been almost 10 years in relationship, and always waiting something to be done so we can move out of that country. In end we broke up. I did move, and move around and in one of them meet my wife. There was decision made that we will move for her,as she has work that she is good in and I am ok to move around. We do chat and see what is best for us both. Also I can say that I believe we are happy
