Dear Emma:

I understand part of your story but not all of it: you have been in a relationship with your now ex boyfriend for 1.5 years. A few days ago it was your anniversary (one year of living together?) and he broke up with you. The plan was to go on a six week trip ending with you moving in with him to his parents’ home in his home country. But he broke up with you

Is his home country not your home country? Were the two of you living in your home and if so, where is he living now (since he didn’t move to his home country yet)?

You wrote: “He booked and paid for the holiday the same week he dumped me, and told all his friends that he was moving over with me”- do you mean that he paid for all the travel and accommodations for you as well as him already, for the holiday and the move to his home country? If so, will he be getting a refund for your and his tickets and such (since you will not be traveling with him and he may not even travel himself)?
