Look at it this way if your not prepared to move back to be near her why should she give up everything to be with you? If a place is more important than your partner then maybe the relationship isn't that great. |

I know you guys are all fantastic chaps and would never do this but I do hope you dont use your kids as pawns to get your partners to stay in Australia if they decide that it isnt where they want to spend their lives. Perhaps you could be proactive and before you arrive here sign a legal document which gives them the right to leave with your kids should they need to go. I hope too that your partners are aware of the legal situation regarding children and wanting to leave the country before they set foot here and that you as rational and wonderful partners/fathers are alerting them to it, if they arent currently aware!
Too many sad souls trapped here by kids unfortunately! It was always going to be a big ask with the gf she is settled in work close to family, all her family live within 1 mile of each other, i travelled alot when i was younger as my old man was in the forces i lost track of how many countries we lived in,hence my folks are up for me making a go of it in Oz if you going to try and make a new life in other country i think both of you need to be 100% comitted and really try and make it work and you need a strong relationship which are hard to come by. |
Re: Stay here alone and partner returns?
Interesting replies and some very good answers.
I know I am worrying a bit too early. She may love it and want to stay here. We've been together 2 years now, but known each other longer, and lived together for a year. We're boyfriend and girlfriend, but there's no reason in my mind why she can't become my fiance, and most likely will be shortly. Location is not more important than the relationship, I would go anywhere she wanted and she has said she would move for me. Just think I have started worrying just incase she doesn't like it, as I really do. Although not sure I could stay here without her, but I really love it here, and there's not much work for me in the UK for the next year or so due to the recession. |

Re: Stay here alone and partner returns?
BUT - I'm unsure as to what to do if she doesn't like it. Has anyone ever stayed on their own and made a go of it? |

Haven't actually left yet, but I get the feeling the GF is coming under duress somewhat and isn't keen at all on moving to Oz. However, I love Oz and certainly from a work point of view (I do construction recruitment) I need to get away from the UK asap. Fingers crossed it works out for you (and me). :fingerscrossed: |
