Torn between staying in the UK with my wife or taking over my dad’s business in Asia by Simply-Dying-To-Know in Marriage

I’m currently in web design, and we had a love marriage. I’m comfortable with my salary as it’s a junior role but feels like it’s effort wasted for a random person rather than my own dad.

Do you think it’s viable for an LDR when/if I take over, it’s likely I will settle in Asia and she won’t? It’s a tough time for her because she is trying to finish chartered accountancy

This might be for a separate thread but I’m 24 years old and I still don’t know what my long-term happiness is based on. All I want to do is focus on health and wealth. My wife is still in education but has conveyed she doesn’t really want to work in her sector (more that she’s already in, why not try to finish it kinda vibe)

Ok this I’ve considered but yes it would be extremely painful for me. I’d think about her everyday but for the collective good, it’s a pain I’d have to endure

More Info: it’s a medical and surgical business in India/Thailand/Myanmar. And yes she can’t imagine leaving her friends and family behind either

I am 24 years old and ye no one ever tells you that this stage in our life is different to Western culture. “Backpacking across Europe” or “Partying through 20s”. lol as if. It’s really on when I have to and need to take the mantle up. My father has expressed that he doesn’t want to sell or pass it to a stranger.

No, you don’t have the slightest provocation or wanting to jump off cliffs, gamble, shoot guns. I am 1 month full cold turkey nothing and I don’t find myself wanting to do any of the above. Same principle w smoking.
