I have been thinking about how the fact of speaking different languages can interfere in a relationship.
I guess most of us here communicate with our partners in english, right?
But if english is not your mother tongue or your SO's... Won't that be complicated when you close the distance?
I mean, do you think that learning your SO's language is an essencial thing for making things work?
Alex and I have been talking about this the other day. I said I think learning russian would makes us closer, but he replied: "We can only be closer if we are together".
This is cute, but long-term speaking I worry this can be a reason for breaking up.
Imagine living in a country whose language you don't speak... Now imagine raising children in it!!!
Seriously, how it can work if you don't learn your SO's mother tongue?
