I'm sorry for the really long post, I just don't know how else to express everything I'm going through right now. I'd appreciate any second opinion or advice.
I haven't been in many relationships, but I have been in a few. Most of them had been awful, until I started one with a great guy in summer 2016. I'd lived my whole life with kind of an abusive and manipulative mother and I honestly searched my way out from my family and other ****** things in my life. So before I met my boyfriend, I'd been accepted to study abroad and felt very excited about it. I've always wanted to move abroad, I've honestly sacrificed my whole life to the idea of living abroad.
I told my bf about the university and about the fact that I'd been planning to move abroad for a very long time and he accepted it. He promised me that as soon as he finishes his studies, he'll move abroad and travel with me.
I graduated in January 2018 and he'd been by my side all that time, encouraging me, supporting me, loving me.
But he wasn't able to keep his promise about moving abroad and told me, he needs one more year to finish his studies. I moved back to my country because of him. My mother gave me an apartment where we both now live. I found a job and told him, that I'll wait a year for him, but no more, because I want to travel.
It's been 1,5 year now and we're still here and I'm starting to questioning his dedication. He keeps on telling my how awesome it is we has this apartment, we don't have to pay a rent and can basically live for free. The issue is, the apartment is mine, not his. My mother gave this privilege to me, not him. And he refuses to move abroad, because he keeps on telling me how good we're doing here.
I got fired from my last job and now I'm looking for a new one and thinking about going abroad without him. The thing however is, that I really love him and I think he loves me too.
Any advice?
