I moved to a Au from my home country about 4 years ago. I moved with my husband and my daughter who is now 4. I have no family, no friends, no support apart from my husband. Its been four years and im really not happy! I really want to go back, have my family and friends around...especially in times in need (I suffer from depression and anxiety) now my husband is totally against it and doesnt want to go back mainly because he says we have a better standard of living here. Also I think because he has his family here and friends. I really want to move back but need advice on how to tell my husband exactly how I feel and just some advice. Thnk u

Have you tried writing him a letter?
I'm from overseas as well. Ive been in Aus for 8 years and I miss home every day. However as time has gone on Australia has become home as well. I have found it hard to make friends here but the ones I have made I will cherish forever. Hubby and I talk about moving back to my home all the time but for now we are here getting him where he wants to be in his career. But he does know how much it would mean to me to move home one day and he respects my wishes. Sit down and have a heartfelt conversation about how you are feeling without making him feel like it's his fault you are feeling low (not saying you have done that but I'm just making a point of make sure you keep the conversation neutral). I know my hubby can get his back up if he feels attacked :). Anyways maybe if he hears how sad you are it might make for a more progressive conversation. Good luck, but if you do end up staying just know it does get easier! Xx
