rizlared: I have now spent a wonderful Christmas with my lovely lady in Pisa, Italy. And have to make some hard decisions. My lease on my house runs out in April, am I am thinking of not renewing but moving lock stock and barrel to Pisa.
Now hears the Dilemma, if I move I will have nowhere to live and no job and no money.
The plus side, I can find work reasonably easy, not great pay but enough to get by on temporarily until I get settled, finding accommodation though is a problem, its either not available or very expensive .
I have checked and found that I can get cheap flights between Italy and the UK so will be able to keep up with my youngest children, their mother has agreed to them visiting me in holidays as well, so that’s a great weight off my shoulders.
So what do you guys reckon, should I go and start a new but somewhat precarious life in Italy, or stay in the UK and carry on trying to find work, which at this time seems impossible.
Any thoughts????
If I were in your shoes, I'd be very dubious at this early stage of knowing her about upping sticks and moving to another country, far away from your kids and with no place to stay... Anyway, as you're giving so much up then why can't you move in with her
Also, if the flights are cheap from UK to Italy then why not stay here where you are guaranteed a roof over your head and close to your kids until you've been seeing her a bit longer...
Just make sure it's for completely the right reason and not because subconsciously you feel you won't ever get a job in the UK again. Also, be aware you've just returned from an honeymoon period so could be still wearing the honeymoon goggles and not seeing things too clearly.
Good luck in making the correct decision for your long term happiness and hope it all turns out for the best
