I have moved so much, sometimes for men; the most isolated I have ever felt is with a partner Even more isolated when I’ve stayed with their family…
Even when I lived in English speaking countries- there is so much cultural isolation. It will make you nuts, I am sorry girl-
I couldn’t imagine moving to another country and not learning the language. This is only really possible if you’re in a city or near a city in that country with tourists or English speakers. This is something she should have thought of in advance instead of isolating herself. Now that she’s in this position, she can either learn the language and culture and work to integrate with them, or leave. If she wasn’t so loud and unacceptable in conflicts with TJ, they’d progress better.
TJ isn’t a saint either… going to complain to family during a conflict. He needs a good therapist because I can understand how lonely he must feel that nobody in his family cares to understand and empathize with him.
