So ok, I went back to bed because this has hit me hard. I'm actually not THAT far off this threshold, and should be there if it wasn't for a string of bad luck at work - long story, not for here. I earn just short of 17k
My fiance and I have been making plans to marry in October over there. She is really nervous when I told her of these plans, but says she can try work in the middle east for a year - she understandably is scared at the thought.
I haven't told her what's been said, but she just phoned me where she's out for dinner with friends, suspected I wasn't all there, questioned me hard, but I brushed it off - got indigestion or something.
Came off the phone and cried like a baby. I can't remember the last time I felt like that.
So when do I finish with her? Tell her tonight we're over, we can't be together?
My ex who knew me for 15 years, and weirdly likes me more now we're divorcing, she's scared and has told me to phone the samaritans.
Know what else - if my company moved me to London, my salary would increase dramatically for doing the exact same job, but I couldn't afford to live there. Madness
