Wow. Clearly Wendy is deficient because she can’t solve a problem that something as powerful as twue loooove can’t resolve. See, and the LW is so VERY special, as evidenced by her great and powerful income, that even her PROBLEMS are bigger and better and more insoluble than other peoples’ loooove problems. Certainly her attitude is bigger than everyone else’s. Her problems make her *special.*
I don’t think she really wanted advice. She wanted to be patted on the back and to be told how special and star crossed she was.
Her fairytale love is so special and unique, her boyfriend couldn’t wait to introduce her to the important people in his life. Oh, wait. He hasn’t introduced her to a single person. Not one.
Guys, she just told me that she’s going to take all her money and go find “real qualified relationship coaches now who actually adds value,” since she needs help convincing her fairytale boyfriend to move a little closer than a 21-hour flight away. Good luck with that!
This was a highly enjoyable saga. Why doesn’t she move to London and work in Finance there? I mean, he’d be a few hours from his parents and as an Australian, it shouldn’t be hard for her to get a visa. She can keep speaking English. Although to be fair – the Brits will treat her like a Pennsatucky cousin… but wuv!
If you don’t want advice, why come to an advice site? Just go on to Reddit and say “I want people to feed my delusion! Please tell me I’m right so I can shove this page in the face of the person who is not behaving the way I want them to!”
Who thinks the internet is a place to get unconditional love?
I love how she says “Here’s a topic for your next publication,” and then calls you an “internet bully” for publishing it.
LW, haven’t you noticed that it’s only good between you while you’re on vacation together, and immediately after, and then he starts drifting away? My guess is that you’re the other woman. He’s married, or in a relationship. That’s why you’ve never met friends or family, or been invited to his home. He can get away for a week now and then and meet you in some other country, though. He probably tells his wife or partner that it’s a business trip. There was a married guy I used to work with who’d go visit his girlfriend for several days a month that way.
Tell him you want your next ‘getaway’ to be to his hometown, so you can meet his family and friends. See how that goes over.
Regardless, the bottom line is: he’s not moving to be near you because he doesn’t want to. People make an effort to do things they really want to do. People move for love all the time. He likes your vacations together. He doesn’t really want anything more. Not enough to sacrifice anything for it.
I don’t think you guys understand. Some people have relationships, but this LW is special and she has a fairytale.
I’m pretty sure in fairy tales, the prince and the princess overcome all odds and live happily ever after.
This dude won’t even keep in touch regularly, hasn’t introduced her to friends and family, and won’t move for love. I dunno, sounds like a pretty shitty fairy tale to me.
Imagine reading that to your kid. “And the Princess SO loved the Prince, the man of her dreams. But the Prince would not reply to her text messages.”
Some people have relationships, but this LW is special and she has a fairytale.
I dunno Wendy, it’s kinda shitty of you to invalidate her fairy tale love. After all, the least you could have done is to tell her how wonderful & special her vacation only love is!!!
/sarcasm
I agree with Essie, she’s the side chick. He has no plans of moving to Australia to marry the LW because he already has a wife in France.
