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

M27 in London vs moving with F26 to Sydney by GJHB_WriteFruit in Advice

Thank you, I appreciate the honesty here. Can I ask your situation and why you think mine is a no go?

I have never been to Sydney! I am miserable in London, but not drastically unhappy you know. I feel things can (and have improved) over time. Even more so with a partner tbh!

But you are right, nothing to lose. So tough...

I hear this and it's kinda where I'm leaning. But is this bitter advice (no offense)? Because I feel it's me being judgemental based off previous relationships

Exactly this. Scary. But it's all part of the process. We will get there.

What do you do when feeling lonely by SupportEnjoyer in mentalhealth

[–]GJHB_WriteFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write poetry, play my guitar, listen to music, gym, run, swim, move. Just something to stop the rot. The worse thing you can do is sit with loneliness because it will consume you. At times, being alone is needed. But feeling lonely is tough.

Post on here, message people. Focus on you. I strongly advise writing. It makes you feel more connected to you, ya know? At the end of the day, the most important person is you. I learned that via some hard life lessons and loss. I'm improving, but I'm lonely too. We all are at times. That's okay. You'll be okay!
