well it's all nice and dandy when you have money, status, defense/military luxuries and all which the common folk don't have.
If you have to live in 10-20 hours of loadshedding a day, or deal with the other BS that goes on there, you'd be booking your flights to UK in a heartbeat.
England isn't what is used to be anyway, even the whites are trying to run off to Canada/Australia as it's become a desi ghetto.
Try giving up your UK nationality and see what your other halves say about that ;)
I will get straight to the point, I am getting married in December. My fiance (a cousin) is from Pakistan and I was born and bred in London. In the initial talks we hadn't discussed our future living plans as I didnt ask him and assumed he would come here. When the topic did come up he said he would like to settle in Pakistan in the future. It was quite a shock and I told him I would have to think about it, we still kept on talking and got to know each other better. I discussed it with my parents who were also not keen on the idea.
Then a family wedding came up and I went there (after 10 years) and I even stayed with his family and really liked it. I got to see their day to day lifestyle once the wedding was over. When I came back my parents asked how it was and if I was still happy and I said yes. Now the wedding is coming closer the more I think about it the more nervous I get about eventually having to move there.
Anyone know someone that has been in this situation and has moved there from the UK? FYI they live in Rawalpindi, his father is working in the army and my fiance has a decent Govt job which he will have to give up as he will initially come to the UK.
There is a huge difference spending 2 weeks for a wedding and committing to a life style change. Whatever you choose to do, embrace the situation, and make your best out of it.
Living there is not such a bad thing so long as he is flexible about moving to UK if after a few years you still cannot adjust there. Quality of life is better, no household chores to do and more time for enjoyment providing that you have the money.
