trevnod Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi Guys, has anyone migrated to Oz by themselves? Reason I ask is I recently split up with my ex as she didn't want to come with me. On one hand I want to stay here as I miss the ex a lot and figure happiness is more important. On the other hand I want to still go to Oz as that's always been my dream. I have visited before and love the place, plus I now have a permanent visa. The lifestyle, weather and standard of living in Oz suit me really well. Can't say the same about the UK although my friends and family are here plus I would be with my ex of 2 plus years. If anyone else has been in a similar situation any advise would be great (flight due to leave October 5th). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't, you'll only end up resenting her and it'll just put a strain on the relationship. If you end up splitting up anyway, you'll kick yourself for not using your PR when you had it. You never know - you might end up staying in touch with her while you're away and she might eventually change her mind about joining you. Or you'll move to Aus, realise it's not as good as you remember and go home to her. Either way, you have to try. Staying home because you're scared of losing someone you're not married to / have kids with is a bad decision. Lots of people have long distance relationships. I was in one with my boyfriend for a year before I moved to Perth (I was in London). When I decided to move, I applied for jobs offering the 457 visa and moved on my own terms so it wouldn't put any pressure on our relationship. 3 years later, I'm in love with Perth and going for my PR. It's worth the leap. Good Luck! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
