Hi everyone,
I'm in an LDR wth a guy from Austria. I come from the UK, but have been teaching all around Austria and Italy for the past 18 months, and have just renewed a contract to work in Italy for one more year. We are only currently a 6 hour drive away from each other, which doesn't seem as far as some of you guys! So I guess I'm quite lucky in that sense! Anyway, we spent 8 months living just a 5 minute walk away from each other's flat, and we would both love for it to be as easygoing as it was back then.
Getting a job in Austria isn't a huge problem for me as I'm English and have a degree as a primary school teacher! My problem is that he wants me to move to him eventually. He will not hear of the possibility of him moving to England, because 'his life is here (Austria).' I understand this... it was me that moved to Austria, not the other way around. Now Austria and England are not so far apart - only 2 hours by plane. But I still feel like making a permanent move to Austria would be letting my family down, leaving everything I know behind me, bringing children up who know Austria better than their own mother's country, being absent for a large part of my my mum and brother's lives, and not being able to be there when they are sad, or sick or need support.
I'm not looking for answers, I know it's my decision. I just wondered if there were any other girls out there that have closed the distance by moving to their SO's country, maybe got married and had children? I'd love to hear your stories to help me make my decision.
Were currently on a break until the weekend when we see each other to talk about our future properly. This may end in a really sad break up, as neither of us wants to actually break up, but can't currently decide on a middle ground :S
Thanks muchly
