I am also finding a lot of the advice on here very useful. I have been with my partner for almost 5 years. We've been together practically every moment of those 5 years.
We've spent the past year living together abroad due to his work, but due to a language barrier, I have not been able to work myself. It's been a struggle for him having to support 2 people on one salary. And I very quickly ran out of my own money. The future poses many options for us and all of them require more money than we have. So we're discussing the option of me moving back home to work for a while. Realistically, it will not even be for 1 year but even though we are doing this for our future, it is tearing me apart knowing that we would only see each other every few months and only then for probably no more than a week.
I am so worried that it will break us up, even though I am determined it won't happen. The worst thing is that I know he is so unhappy where he is in life just now and being together is the only thing getting us through each day. But looking at the bigger picture, if we want to have a good future, we need more money now.
The comments posted here have given me hope that we will be fine. They've also given me loads of ideas to make the time pass easier.
Thank you
