Living away from family

I have never had to do something like this before. I would not be able to di it if it was me. My husband used to be in the Army before we met and he was away alot in his first marriage. I could not have been able to handle him being gone like that.

Hi! I live without my family from about 5 years. Well, sometimes I feel sad, because I miss them, but I call them every day. But I'm not all the time sad. I've met a new friends and now we go out together. And when I fell sad, I just call my family and the sadness is away.

Since I entered university, I had started to live away from my family. Now, I've been working and I'm still living alone. Through the years, I'm almost used to living away from my family. It's always a painful experience to me. Some of my collegues are living together with their families. They can enjoy many things together. But I can only miss my family in my heart. I can totally understand your bitter feelings, especially you're lately married. It must be very painful for you to leave them behind. You won't be able to see and chat with them every day as usual. It is hard at first. But don't be too upset. After all, you won't be on an official visit abroad for a very long time. It will not be long before you return to your dear family. Just take it easy and have a good time abroad.

leaving ones family is very painful,i know about this as i am leaving alone for the last 7 years.. i always remember my mother ,father,brother,sisters and my grand mother.anyway we have a joint family consisting of 10 members. I even cry at various instances but i am helpless for the sake of studies i am living here.now my foremost aim is to read well and earn lot of money so that i can bring prosperity for my family...

hi,i am a student who have lived from family since iam in the middle shcool,the concept of the family has weakened a lot ,sometimes when i am at home ,i wantto stay in the school,i will miss thelife in the shcool,the feeling of shcool gives me deep imprssion ,the students,the teacher,will occur to my mind,maybe iam different from others,but when youare inthe home ,youwill have a feeling of warm,thisis my own idea,different people has diffferent feeing.

My mother kicked me out when I was 16 and I spent 5 years on my own with absolutely no contact from my family. I went through a really bad relationship and had to move out of the apt. I had with my ex and my mother offered for me to move back in. I did, and just the other day, she kicked me out again. I was upset because I had just spent the last year with my mother and getting close with my family again, then she throws me out. I'm kind of upset, but at the same time, she doesn't want anything to do with me, so why should I bother with her? Now, I'm just working on trying to live on my own again. I realized that I bettered myself when I didn't have my family holding me down and my whole life was on pause while I was living with her. Now, I'm starting again from square 1.

hello men82in, i did that for so many times. i was sent to have trainings and work abroad by the company i am working with for three months or so. it's really hard especially when my first training for my wife just got burth for our first child. for i will be missing them. the second one was when my wife was pregnant for our second child. but this time i made sure that i should be in her side before she will give her delivery. and so on. t'was really hard for it's not the work that was hard but the homesickness. but need to sacrifice for a better future. i understand how you feel. you can do that. hope it will not take you that long. goodluck to you.

True, I moved away from my family 3 years ago, it's been tough. My main concern is my parents are getting older and are not at all healthy. So there's that fear of getting a phone call one day. Hope it never happens

Actually the decision would be simple if you could just decide which one is more important for you. Your carreer or your family. Anyone's views can be different, though. If it bothers you that much, usually your heart is telling you not to go. Don't complicate your life by making such painful decision. Well I don't know your situation entirely. In fact, I don't know it at all. It's always best to listen to what your family has to say, since I assume they're the most important people in your life. Don't rush into everything. Good luck :)

I can understand your feeling. It’s not good for a new couple to live separately because of their works. I knew a British girl here. She starts work at Middle East after 2 month old marriage. To her and her husband it is very painful. They have to fly to each other monthly. However they can not have so much time to do it, not to mention the cost. I suppose you go abroad first, and then try to find a chance for your partner to move abroad too. Or have a good deal with your company then you can afford to fly regularly. Best regards.

Hi..I feel not good when I have to living away from my family especially my mom.It was happen when I was married 4,5 years ago.I was really worry,scare and keep contact everyday.My mom was crying.But now,I can manage my feel and I try to keep contact with them but I miss them often and would like to meet them.

after leaving your family, at first you feel lonely and a little bit homesick. then you get busy for studying or working abroad, have limited time for yourself and no time to miss home. Gradually you get used to the new environment and make new friends and have new life circles. At last, you are NOT willing to back family for staying long time because the old family changed a lot and some stuff makes you uncomfortable. My experience is just like that.
