[IWantOut] 31f Midwest US -> London
So I (31f) have been living in the states for the past 7 years. I am British, but my fiancé (28m) is American.
We live in the mid west, and not close to any of our families. And I recently left my job, so there really isn’t anything tying us down here.
With everything that’s going on in America at the moment, I just don’t want to be here anymore, so we’re thinking of moving to London (where a lot of my family are). Every time I mention this to my friends and family there, they tell me I’m being stupid and making a bad decision, because admittedly there is more opportunity in the US, and the pay is about x3 more than I’d get in the UK.
But when I talk to my American friends, they say I’d be stupid not to go, because it’s London and it’s home.
I’m fed up of being called stupid from all angles. I know it’s shit everywhere, and the grass is always greener, but I’m not sure whether to stick it out for a couple more years, or get the visa application for my fiance started.
