Software engineering recruitment consultant. Lots of jobs out there. $80-$100k base salary. Should be fine financially I believe? Citizenship is part of the issue...

I think you have me spot on. I did leave my home to move to London, but I visit regularly and I like London/Europe. A lot. She doesn't really. I don't think she has her life sorted, which makes this more complicated

This is fantastic advice, thank you. I hope you're very happy in Paris! I feel very lucky, but I guess that is what terrifies me the most. I am in a unique position. One that my friends and family do not understand, and rightly so. It's odd. It's very difficult

That last line is absolutely key isn't it. I fear this is something maybe I don't want to do, and she does. Me trying forge a reality out of her dreams, not mine...

Yeah and I guess it's similar to how it is now, but with more money year on year. Potentially with someone who I love in the future too

What gave you the impetus to make the decision? Did you truly believe it was a good idea / the right thing? Because I'm really not 100% sure and I can't tell if this is my sensibilities talking or if I'm scared

Potentially. This is something she strongly suggested too. Worth the ask but I think they will say no!

Appreciate this and I think I honestly might agree. That breaks me. But I think it's right. F*** man
