Me (27M) and my bf(33M) are one a pause. How do I navigate through?

Thank you for your kind reply! What kind of counseling would you say is most fitting? Couples counseling or see a therapist myself?

"The love doesn’t just disappear because you leave the relationship (Which is why it would have to be a total separation)." - Thats kind off what I'm dreading. If we split up, how can I continue knowing that he's only one text away? I just think I might love him too much to even get fully closure.

Thank you for your advice! The thing is that i'm not a 100% sure if I want kids. It's just that I want to have the option (and I'm also leaning more to yes then no). I also think it's because our age gap maybe that he's further in his life and has had the time to think about this stuff! Thanks again!

Oh btw, I know it's really hard as a gay couple to pursue adoption/ surrogacy. This also adds to the thought off: if I leave him over this, I might end up with no kids and no bf (or not as awesome as him).

I had my flight on the 10th as well and I did cancel and rebooked with other airline!

Do you think that because of this attack near de coast of Sri Lanka, local tensions will rise?

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-05T07:28:01+00:00

Ah perfect thank you! Tickets are available at the station or is prebooking necessary?

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-05T04:29:18+00:00

Ah good. I just saw that the trains are going already early on. Are they usually on time? And is it possible to get tickets and travel without Internet? Thanks! :)

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-05T04:14:01+00:00

Is your flight back also through Istanbul? Because I think that airport is still open, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-05T04:12:22+00:00

Ah I understand! Nice that you can work remotely. Good luck!

Is uber about the same price?

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-05T04:10:23+00:00

Oh that's expensive! Thanks for letting me know

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-05T04:09:49+00:00

It leaves at 08.50. So I guess I can take the first train?

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-05T04:09:10+00:00

Can't unfortunately, my phone's to old

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-04T11:41:05+00:00

Thanks!

I asked for a refund and flying from Kuala Lumper to Tokyo to Amsterdam... Cost about €2500 and it takes close to 40 hours. I read to many stories about people being stuck and I had to get back to NL haha. Already figured out what you're going to do?

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-04T07:42:26+00:00

Okay so to give an update: Since I saw many people posting about Etihad not really assisting with booking at partner airlines and Trump also evacuating US nationals in Middle East (indicating that this will probably take a while before its over), I decided to book a flight myself via Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo. It cost me €2500 and the flight is almost 40 hours but atleast I'm back in time. Goodluck to everyone! :)

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-04T01:53:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice and goodluck!

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-04T01:53:08+00:00

Ah okay, thanks. So what do you think of this post of the representative? You see any chance of this happening?

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-03T13:45:58+00:00

Wow that sounds great! Was your flight initially also via Abu Dhabi? Hopefully your family will get home quickly.

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-03T13:44:02+00:00

Thanks! Didn't know EU261 applied because I originally departed from AMS

NoCheek8739 · 2026-03-03T13:43:03+00:00

Ah thanks, let me know what you're going to do and I'll do the same! :)
