How do I make a big (potentially life-altering) decision?

I’m newly single and my whole world has been flipped upside down – I don’t know what is next for me. I had a vision of how I thought my life would be – I thought that this relationship was The One and clearly I was wrong. Everything I thought was to come with this man is now no more than a distant memory and I am terrified.

I have made the lists of pros and cons and I am no better off – I keep coming up with a split decision. Do I leave the city where he was my main focus (although I enjoy the place and have a good job) or do I move back home and save for a deposit on a house, which I would never be able to do while I am single and stay where I am? But if I move home to my parents (albeit to save money for a deposit) will I feel like I’m taking ten steps back? Will I be able to meet someone again in time who shares the same desires as me and is driven and determined in such a small town? Am I limiting my options?

Please can anyone help me? I know that this is a decision I have to make on my own but I am currently so lost that I can see no way forward. Tell me it gets better than this. Please.

Did you move overseas to be with your ex?

Kind of, kind of not.

I had always planned on moving to the UK but I met him before I did and wanting to be with him definitely sped up how quickly I had planned on doing it.
