I appreciate your take on this. Although my first relationship ended amicably, my second one overseas, not so much.

I had the choice of leaving or staying. But by that time I had already built a new life, I was finally enjoying my work and the break up actually opened up a whole new set of possibilities and social life.

Plus, learning a foreign language, a new culture and mentality as well as navigating it was rewarding.

The after-effects of the relationship far outweigh the actual relationship.

So to make a long story short. No regrets.

Breakups are normally bad no matter if it's at home or in another country. It's how you choose to move on is the most important.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
