It sounds to me like you are badly homesick. Maybe a visit home for rest and reuniting with your family would be a good idea. One thing is for sure - you're in no fit state to make a decision right now. Maybe once you've rested and gotten into a better frame of mind you can make the decision on whether to stay in your home country or to go back to Italy. One other solution would be to fly back and forth a couple of times a year between Italy and Lithuania. That way you can spend time with your boyfriend and also spend some time with your family and friends in both countries. I wish you the very best of luck with this. :o)

we all get homesick and need some time to recharge. Just take an annual vacation back home and share the good times.

I think you should take a break and go home to see what you are truly missing. I would then talk to your significant other and see if there is a way for both of you to get what you want and need in life together.

Why donĀ“t the both of you move to your country for a while, or atleast go visit fora few months. My guess is that u are just homesick and just need to spend some time with the people that u miss. Your bf should be able to do that for you as well. It is hard when u find love somewhere else in the world, coz it means sacrifies for both parties.

Maybe you can start a savings account so that you will be able to go home once a year to visit your family. It would be horrible for you to break up with your boyfriend and move home only to realize that it isn't what you want. When I first moved from home I was 17 and very, very homesick. But. I found that when I moved home, I didn't like living there so much anymore. It was better to live away and visit. I am very in love with my husband and couldn't imagine leaving the love of my life for anyone.

dearest, boyfriends come and go. family stays forever. they are in your blood. if your boyfriend realyy loves you, he will find a way to be with you. you know the saying .. if the love someone, let him go. if he comes back, he is really yours. if not, he was never meant for you in the first place. if you can leave your family for 3 years, i'm sure you can leave your boyfriend for a while, for your family. ask your family what they think about your situation. after all, they are the one who will be affected.

It sounds as though you are terribly home sick. I think you should go home for a visit and spend time with your grandmother. It is very important for you to be there for her. You seem very close to your family. I think you should make more frequent trips to home if possible. I am sure if you explain this situation to your boyfriend he would probably be able to advise you on what to do and possibly be more supportive and help you through this time of sadness. I hope this helps and that you are able to find a happy medium between living in Italy and being away from your family. Take care!

I'm not sure what to tell you other than to follow your heart. Maybe you need a trip back home to make you feel better. It's a tough decision but you're the only one who can decide what you need to do. If your heart isn't in Italy then do you think it's possible that you don't love him the way a soul mate would? Without knowing you personally, it's hard to give any sound advice to what you should do in this situation. I wish you the best in finding your happiness!

it seems that you got a dilemma.....it is a hard decision between boyfriend and family indeed,in one side is everything of your life ,in the other side is your only relations in the world ....however,i suggest just following the feelings from the bottom of your heart,which is the first thing you wanna do....if you miss it ,you will probably be sad for a life and i think you don't wanna do that .....in addition ,if your boyfriend really love you ,he will do everything as he can to make you happy not sad and so do your family .....so, whatever decision you make ,both your boyfriend and your family will embrace you .......and then ,the most important thing is your feeling .....just chill out and listen to your heart .
