    Im so confuse right now. Need an advice on my relationship please. I met this guy in exchanged program in 2011 when I was 19. He is 30 years old. He was in love with me since he first saw me. We went on a date and everything goes very well. We were together for 2 month then I have to come back to my country. When we were together. He was very fun person to be with. He is funny and love to play game. Yet responsible with his job. he was very nice to me all the time. When I got back to my country I decide to be in a relationship with him. Though I wasnt sure about future because we have to stay apart for 5 years in minimun or maybe more. He always showed me how much he loves me and he never want to be with anyone else if it not me. I liked him alot because of that reason. But a part of me still want someone to stay near me. He visit me once a year. We were so happy that I think only love is enough for 2 people to be together. But this is our conditions
    1. I cant moved to him. So he has to moved to my country. If he is in his country he can earned more from his job. And get nice house and cars there. But since my future job condition is better . He will have to give up his life and job there and move here for me. And I will be the one that earn much more money than him.
    2. Before he actually move here , we dont get a chance to try to live together and sees if it work out or not. We just get to be together only for 2 weeks a year so far. Because once he decide to move here ,he cant go back to his own job field agian. Like there will be no turning back for him.
    3. Last time he visited me we had a hard time together. For examples :
    – a food place I choose is too expensive for him to affort(which I can) and he got upset at me choosing something that he doesnt belong. I cried about it
    – he wanted to stay in a cheap hotel and im ok with it. He let me choose a hotel. So I did But when we got in to the room he complain about the room not being good enough. And I felt bad since he said he wants a cheap room . But he is angry at my decision that he said himself to let me choose. I cried again.
    – and there were many little things that he got upset with me in small things. Though he apologized me later for doing it.
    4. He wants to have a baby soon but I doesnt want to because I want to be stable with my money first.
    5 he got upset with me very easy last time. Like even I get lost walking in the mall he will already be upset with it. And I feel like I didnt have a bad intention doing it but why he has to be so upset with me like that. I didnt want to get lost either. it make me feel im stupid and dump.
    We had a bad time being together through his last visit.

    Now we have 3 more years to stay apart before he moved here permanantly and no turning back. Im very confuse about this. He used to be very sweet and never upset with me. But his last visit was totally different. Im scared that he wont be happy with himself leaving his better life there and upset often. Though he is willing to move here. But It’s me who is scared that what if we were like last time he visited me and we are not happy being togther but it will be too late because there will be no turning back for him. He is much older than me and sometime our point of view is not the same. And im scared of our standard of doing things are not in the same level. Since I can affort things much more than him. there will be no trial living together for us.

    Thank you for reading. Please advice me about my situation. I feel so desperate. Thank you so much

    You have quite the extreme case. When relationships involve one party having to leave behind their entire life to be with the other it is always a difficult matter. As you’ve stated, there are too many unknowns. My opinion: have an honest talk with him about how you both feel of your entire situation. Also, do mention that you worry of his ‘outbursts’. They are definitely not favorable signs this early in a relationship. Perhaps even write down a list of pros and cons. If you feel there are too many challenges to overcome then parting may be your best option. If that is to be the case, I hope you will both part amicably. Best of luck to you.

    Thank you so much Al for your advice. I really appreciate it 🙂
    I agreed with what you told me
    Ive talked with him about this but he just broke down and cried alot. And said no one could ever love me like he is. This is very hard and confusing time for me. But I will surely keep working on like your advice. This is too many unknown and plus his temper really make it harder for us.
    Thank you again for your advice. It really help and assure me that im doing the right thing. Weather what is the outcome is. It will be the best for everyone in long run. Thank you so much Al ^^

    peace of mind over wealth accumulation, and view longer life expectancies as a chance to explore new options and/or pursue old dreams.
