Citizen Erased Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I have been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years. We have lived together for about a year and a half and during that time we haven't spent one night away from each other. I really don't want to change that lol. We are very close, have the same interests, our sex life is great and we have already spoken about our future; marriage, buying a home etc. The problem is, I have said to myself since my family moved to Australia that I want to go back over to England and work there for a year or two. I love it there, never wanted to leave. I love the history, the culture, the people, and cold weather during Christmas Well obviously this provides a problem because I can't exactly expect my bf to come with me. We are definitely not the long distance types, he barely even remembers to check his email once a month, and really I can't go without sex for more then about 3 days So I guess what this post is about, is how have other people deal with these issues? What have you given up that you thought you never would? And was it worth it? I just don't want to either go overseas, break it off with him, and then regret it. But I also know I am really young and I don't want to give up on a dream just for someone I may or may not end up with in the future
lovelorcet Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 What about both of you going? Could be a great adventure!
sb129 Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 What about both of you going? Could be a great adventure! Why isn't he keen to go? There are thousands of australians working in the UK, he will be able to get a visa no problem. My BF and I are both from NZ, and we have been here 5 years we are in London now. If could be a fantastic thing for you to do together!
Author Citizen Erased Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 I would love to have him come with me. Problem is, he just isn't interested. He is very close with his family and he loves Australia. If it's for a holiday he would of course come but one or two years... he just simply won't consider it. Guess this is what I get for dating a small town boy...
lovelorcet Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 That is really a shame there is so much to experience outside your own country. The most eye-opening experience I have ever made has been living abroad.
Author Citizen Erased Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 That is really a shame there is so much to experience outside your own country. The most eye-opening experience I have ever made has been living abroad. I know! I did my second last year of High School in New York, and I lived in England until I was 12. I would really love to travel more, but I guess not everyone does, at least not to the extent I want. I mean, it is a big ask of him to leave his job for possibly 2 years as he has worked so hard to get where he is. I guess it is all a part of growing up, this relationship isn't all about what I want.
lovelorcet Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 What kind of work does he do? Maybe an experience abroad could also help his future.
