    He's dumped me now he said their was to many conditions on us moving in together.

    Sorry to hear this. I think you're a smart cookie and your instincts were telling you something wasn't right so you should trust yourself.

    Sorry to hear this as it must be awful after 4 years- but, from an outsider's perspective, it sounds like you've had a lucky escape. Definitely better now than after moving in together!

    He sounds like a right wally. Just a shame he couldn't be honest with you from the beginning instead of messing you around with all these nonsense excuses.

    Forget him and find a better one! ;)

    Sorry to hear you've split up. But I do think you've had a lucky escape. Good luck for the future and I hope you find someone who loves, values and respects you.

    Maybe he needed to stay in the country for a while to get a passport but would've got rumbled if he put his name down, or just didn't want to pay

    Probably for the best.
  • I'm going to add my support to those saying you've had a lucky escape. You sound lovely and you deserve better. I once gave up everything (good job, friends, family, entire support system) to move several hundred miles and in with my then boyfriend of four years. It was a full year of hell, I cried every day. It ended in spectacular fashion and when he decided he was too young to be in a "serious relationship" I effectively became homeless, lost everything I had worked a year to build up and had to start from scratch. BEST. THING. EVER.

    3 years on I met the man of my dreams, he's made me smile every single day since (15 years and we are blissfully in love even when life has not always been kind we have each other and a reason to still be happy). I wouldn't change it for anything. So if your heart is broken and you feel like your plans for your future just went up in smoke, please know you will have a better life waiting for you once the initial pain passes. Good luck for your future - it will be bright.
