I went to England last week to visit my boyfriend. I've been so stressed out from planning my move over there, my patience was low and I was meeting his parents for the first time. I posted last summer about how his mother hated that I'm American and didn't even want to meet me when I want in October. I was so worried about not being able to get a job and I'm trying to pay off some credit card debt, not able to afford to bring my cat, and we weren't sure where we would live because he needs to do his placement for Uni. I just broke down my first night there and was telling him all my fears.
I told him I wish he could come to America for a year. Do his placement here, learn about the American culture (he's US/UK citizen but hasn't lived here since he was 2), give us time to save up money, I should have a high enough salary next year for the HSMP, he doesn't need a visa...He didn't say much that night. I think he needed time to think about it all, such a change from our original plan for me to go there because later that week he said he would come over here for his placement that it does make more sense and he's able to do it.
We both feel so much better knowing that we won't be a LDR for another year! Our plan is for him to work until his lease is up on the house he rents at Uni, stay a bit longer for his mum's birthday and I'll fly out as soon as school is done, spend about 2 weeks and be with him for his move over. It's also great because he told his parents, thinking his mum would be completely against it, and his mom said go for it, that he needs to live a little! Such a change, I guess I made a good impression.
I'm so glad to have an end in sight and to have a plan that should work for us!
