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!
