a transatlantic love story
 

It's a story familiar to many here - you're on one side of the Atlantic, you meet someone on the other side, you fall in love, you get married, one of you has to move....

Only I seem to have done an unusual variation on it - I moved over here with work for an experience, then fell in love with someone back home. We're getting married in September.

Work are being very reasonable about it - perhaps because my fiance also works for the same organisation. My immediate boss and their boss have said they see no reason I can't do my current job back in my old office in the UK, just got some Directors and HR to convince before we can get paperwork sorted and signed. Would be nice if they contributed to my removal costs, but I've asked for the move and other things are going on in the company so I'm budgeting to do it myself - plan for the worst but hope for the best kind of thing. Anything forthcoming would be a bonus.

I've been lurking in the Moving Back forum, but I thought I ought to come clean here even though I'm not the most prolific of posters. I'll probably still hang around here for the craic as you're all a bit bonkers and make me laugh. Thanks for all the free advice and for keeping me company for the last three years!

Before moving to the US, I was living in East Anglia and dating a lass from the south west. So we had a long distance relationship already, and only saw each other on weekends.

Then I landed a job in California. Girlfriend would not entertain the idea of coming out to join me unless married. So we had a REALLY long distance relationship for 2 years, until we did eventually marry. Then she came out to the US.

So our story is a little bit like yours, in some ways.
