Upset living away from family and friends please help!

Posted , 3 users are following.

Ive been living abroad for 2 years now and have a boyfriend and a good job. but i have no family there and all my friends are back home as well. i have made friends at work but everyday i feel unhappy. last year my grandad died and i got told over a phone call it broke my heart that i was thousands of miles away and there was nothing i could do. I try and talk to my boyfriend about it and he doesnt understand sometimes i cry on my own and he doesnt hug me or show me any affection which upsets me even more i left my whole life family and friends for this guy and i am not happy.

please if anyone has been through something similar or has any advise i would love someone to talk to, thankyou

    hello! this is probably not the right forum for your question. Covid times makes it hard to connect with others, can you schedule virtual chats with family back home? maybe also see a therapist to help you work out your feelings and give your bf feedback that he can use for the betterment if your relationship 😃

    best of luck!!! xoxo

    if he is cold and you're unhappy....do what makes you happy! go back to your family, if he truly loved you couldn't stand to see you cry, ask yourself 5 years from now..looking back..what would you regret? sounds to me like your heart already knows what's the right thing to do, at least move closer..find a better job and see your family more often.
