We met when I was doing an internship in france for 8 months. I live in Australia so it's very far away obviously. We started off very casual but our feelings grew tremendously and he is by far the best guy i've had a relationship with. It's been 6 months since I left him to come home. We decided not to do long distance, so we essentially broke up when I left, but it's been hard.

We just had a call for the first time in a few weeks, where we talked for hours. It was amazing and we both stated how much we missed each other, and that spark just came right back. Now I want to try and make it work. I want us to be together. We are perfect for one another and I cannot give up without trying. I know he feels the same. The only problem is:

1) He speaks french, and very little english. I speak english and very little french. There is a language barrier which could be a big problem down the track, I don't know.

2) I am in another relationship right now. It's been going on for about 3-4 months and I do love this new guy, but these feelings for French guy keep creeping back in so I'm considering breaking up with him (new guy)

3) We live on opposite sides of the world. For anything to ever work then one of us needs to relocate.

4) The money is a difficult thing. We both want one another and both want to be together but we cannot afford trips all the time to see each other. We have both said it is too hard to a do a long distance relationship because we just cannot commit to travelling so often to see each other.

Has anyone had anything similar here? Have you been able to make it work with an overseas love?
