My SO is currently in Thailand for work and his plan was to be there for a year, possibly two now, to get more work experience. It's been hard but I've supported him in his decision as best I can, but now he may come home early, after only 2 weeks abroad. He's been getting sick every morning for the past week and he can't take a year of that every morning, much less two. He's gonna give it another couple days to see if it clears up but it's uncertain at this point.
When he left, I was really hopeful that this trip, no matter how difficult, would benefit him. But now that he's debating returning, I feel guilty. I'm happy at the thought of him coming home but I feel guilty because if he does, I know it's because he's hurting and unhappy. I don't want him to be miserable but... I know if he is, he may come home...
I'm so conflicted about what to feel. Am I terrible for wanting him to come home, knowing it means he's unhappy?
