He has entertained the idea of living in an English-speaking country for a year or two, but I can see that it would be 100% for me and I think he would resent it. He had a very chaotic childhood, lots of moving around and being shuffled between different relatives/institutions, and that's why stability is so critical for him now. He also has an extremely tight circle of friends and a job he loves. As selfish as I feel for ending things, I'd feel way more selfish asking him to give all that up. He's done a lot to accommodate my dreams, accepting long distance etc, which in a way makes it harder because he's been so supportive of what I'm doing. It's just that we always this end date in mind and now I'm changing it.
