DH and I are from different countries. We currently live in my country but he'd like us to move to his country. It's been 10 years since he left his home and he's terribly homesick. I've also lived overseas and got very homesick. I'm starting to despair that we can both be happy in the same place!
Anyone care to share their experiences and reassure me?
From a cultural and lifestyle point of view the countries are very different, but language is not an issue.
The distance is such that the one abroad will only see their family once a year. With our parents ageing fast this is heartbreaking. Also we now have a baby, so one set of grandparents will inevitably be much less involved too.
