Moving to another country after shaadi

so, any fellow ladies on here who have had to move from their home country after marriage?

how do you guys deal with the distance? How are things after a while? Does it get easier? Was it worth it?

my wedding is not until early next year but i'm legit already having seperation angst. I'm super close to my parents and 2 younger brothers and i need someone to tell me things are gonna be fine..

also just to explain.. im not in any unhappy arrangement or being forced to marry some random ass lol.. my fiance and I met in medical school 6 years ago and have been together since.. im from europe myself but i went to med school in Islamabad.. graduated in january of this year alhamdulillah. My fiance is canadian-pakistani but his family and him are settled in Islamabad.. our plan in to both give the PLAB and settle in the UK.. i myself am scandinavian.. so not more than an hours plane ride from london but still.. i need to talk about this and deal with my anxiety y'all cause its getting baddd. I dont wanna leave my parents lol

Yes you will experience separation anxiety! in the old days before cell phones we would wait for letters to arrive giving us news of our close Family! now you have the Luxury of simply picking up the iphone! and Wala you can see who is speaking to you! but since you are soon to be a married couple the time passes much easier than if you were single!

Even then I know my wife missed her Parents very much and you will too! it is only normal! the best advice a friend of mine gave me was worrying will not solve anything! just keep yourself busy in your carreer, the time will pass easier and someday you will look back a say “What was I thinking”

My wife moved to US from Pakistan after we got married. Back in 2004 there werent this many ways of keeping in touch so I spent most of my salary on phone bills. It was a cultural shock for her but its been 13 years since she moved here and loves it.
