When you each can afford it, fly out and visit the other (or even meet somewhere inbetween). As you have more time to spend together you'll know what's right.
It's a young relationship, and both of you will be more informed about it the more time you spend together.
I hope you both find happiness; you both deserve it.
Christine, that is both heart-rending and so sweet that the two of you have found a relationship that just seems... without wishing to over-dramatise... just seems such pure affection, friendship and love.
We do not take anything forward with us but our experiences - we do not leave anything behind us other than what we have done for others... Your career will have helped others, I'm sure, but actually I think you should be thinking of what will make you happy first and foremost. In the past year I've had to completely give up a fairly reasonable executive career in order to care for my wife who has become disabled over several years, but in the past 18 months is pretty much totally dependent on me.
Would I love to have her back to full health again? Of course...
If she were, would I go back to my career? Forget it! I'd give anything to spend more time with her healthy, but that isn't likely to happen.
Follow your heart. It strikes me that you are more than capable of supporting the direction your heart really wants to go.
All my thoughts and wishes for you - Katey x
