I have a boyfriend who lives overseas and it's getting pretty serious thus far. We are planning on him coming over here, or perhaps if that doesn't work out, myself going over there. I honestly prefer him coming here because he lives in Hungary and speaks very good English. I can't speak a word of Hungarian.
That brings up another thing I am anxious about. I have apprehensions about learning Hungarian. I know I should learn at least a little bit of it so that I can show my BF that I'm serious about being a part of his life, but something is stopping me from wanting to. Maybe it was what was said in previous threads about how sex traffickers are prevalent in that part of Europe and it got me super scared. Too scared to even contemplate learning the language. If I learn Hungarian, it would mean he'd want me to go over there, and I would do so alone, and traveling alone to another country, and one where there are a bunch of sex traffickers ready to kidnap young, unsuspecting women like myself, and force them into prostitution, never to be seen or heard from again...
I know in my heart that he's a good person, and has been honest with me from the start. I know he's just a shy, awkward 25 year old who has never had anything resembling a relationship before he met me. In fact, we've been friends off and on since 2014, and only became a couple September of this year. It took him that long to admit he had feelings for me.
Anyways, I'm nearing the point in the relationship where it might be time to disclose it to my parents. They know he exists, but not that I'm dating him. I'm super nervous that they wouldn't approve of us. Don't know why I would be, my mother is pretty easy going. Dad, on the other hand, is more reserved, and is pretty much not one to keep complaints to himself. He's the kind of guy who isn't happy unless he's complaining about something.
Anyways, I guess I'm writing this post because of my tendency to think the absolute worst of things in any given situation. I just need some support and stuff.
