What's the most important to you bud? Your answer should come from that.

Have you even talked to him about this yet? If you only have a few months of school left, maybe he would wait for you to finish school and then you could go to England together?
Until you finish school at least...you said he's got stuff to do here and it sounds like you don't want to go, so stay. Decide when you're done with school what you want to do! You should at least stay until you've shown him all that the US has to offer, like San Fransisco and Palm Springs Take a road trip, and on your way stop in and say hi

Your answer should come from that. by FiddleFaddleOnLSD on Thu Sep 06, 07 1:28pm ^ can't do it. he wouldn't and i wouldn't. that's the dilema. is he just trying to make me happy and sacrifice his own happiness. i don't know. but he won't ever leave without me and vice versa.
"can't do it" I'm not sure what you mean. Are you will to sacrifice some of your own happiness to make him happy? If so, then it appears that there is something called "love" between the two of you. The conversation shouldn't really be here in a ballot, but with him. Dude... you know the answer...
Can't join him when you finish your courses? Please explain. You two are married. Marriage is a bitch sometimes. I'm going through something similar right now. It sucks, but I just keep thinking: Would I rather be miserable here with him, or have to live without him somewhere else? Life gets more complicated the older you get. Stay tuned :-}

Dude... you know the answer... by FiddleFaddleOnLSD on Thu Sep 06, 07 2:44pm ^ well duh! it's not like we don't talk about it all the time. of course we do. but you know how it is -- "well what do you want to do?" "what ever you want to do." if both are so concerned about the other's happiness, it sort of nullifies it all.
because mojo, he won't go without me. this sucks. the question is -- does he want us to go or not? i have no idea.
^ p.s fidddle and mojo -- thanks for very solid and well-thought out advice. very much appreicated.
"he won't go without me" oh, bummer

I think.... Maybe you just need to... uhm well .. work it out in a marathon --- session. How's that?

Why not, thats how my Brothers girlfriend trapped him ;o) By your description it seems that Adam has already established himself in New York, whereas you would be ‘thrown in at the deep end’ if you decided to move to Old Blighty with him. My advice would be to ask Adam to stay for those few months of school you have left and upon obtaining your grades decide which country you would both be happier living in. From what I’ve heard you say over the last few months I take it that your career will have a large economic element in it and therefore you should not have trouble getting a job in either London or New York. I would honestly suggest sitting down with Adam and discussing which country would suit your lifestyle better, as each has it's own benefits and drawbacks.

What mojo said. Love's a damn rare thing to find. Grab it and crazy-glue yourself to it when you find it.
well seems i was making more of it than needed. turns out, he's perfectly happy in the usa and all he asks is that we take long vactions in the u.k. fine by me. his family comes over at least twice a year anyway and this last time for a month. so i guess that works for him. yey!

Never underestimate the value of direct communication. Ask him questions if you're uncertain about what he's thinking.
