Hi, all,
So my wife and I have been separated for three months. Since she has taken up a job in a different state and moved in with her sister, there is not much to point to a possibility of a successful reconciliation.
Anyway, she is gone and gone is her family as well. This is quite natural, I'd say.
Unfortunately, my whole family is in Europe. My wife's family was all I had here in the US.
I had left Europe when I a bit over twenty. Now, ten years later, I would not have done the same thing. I think that my priorities have changed over time.
I have some friends over here in NY, a great job, and all the employment perks. But the substance seems missing for some reason. I have been getting offers to go work in SoCal for folks like Elon Musk, which would have made me very happy a year ago as it would have boosted my ego, but now I see these opportunities as a new start in places I do not really belong in.
I understand that there is a big void in my life right now. The reality is that I have never been alone for too long since my teenage years. Pragmatically, I do not see myself dating here in the US again- just because if such an unfortunate situations happens again undetermined time down the road, I would in the same tough spot and that time maybe even without having the option to choose the country to live or what employment to have (kids, alimony).
So my question is this... are there any of you who, after losing the dear one, returned back to your countries of origin?
Of course, I am homesick. I will fly over in just a couple of weeks.

Put the internet to work for you.
