Hi lajlachicha,

I had almost the exact same problem 20 years ago (The guy/family or grad school). I talked to our town’s minister and he said something very wise. He said, “Life is long. There is time to do both in your life.” I chose the guy (now my husband) and will do my graduate studies when our last child is in college, with lots of travelling afterwards. Sure, it’s out of order, perhaps, but the reverse is also true. If you pursue going abroad, if he is The One, it shouldn’t be a problem. But also remember The World isn’t going anywhere LOL! It will be waiting for you once you finish school as well!

Good Luck!

Inky
