Good day all!!
And it's not a SMALL decision - we're talking about a permanent life choice to live in one country or another and naturally this decision would have to be made before we start buying any houses!
OR 
House prices here are so huge - and in Germany most people rent (approx. 43%) yet property prices are a lot lower (a house which would be worth around £250,000 would be approx. £100,000 in Bielefeld). Rent is also cheaper
*****
Quality of life in Germany is much better than here - I would prefer to have a family there and feel that we could enjoy life more together as a couple too. Slower, more relaxed way of life.
*****
I have a god job here with huge career opportunities whereas in Germany this would be more difficult. We would have less income with with potentially less outgoings
*****
Family is very important to me and very much still see Bielefeld as 'home'. On the other hand, my man would be away from his family which he says he doesn't mind but would never want him to resent me for it...
******
My man has never lived there before, says he would move there tomorrow but what if 6 months down the line he wants to come back to Chester? What would I do then? Would I want to start all over again here?
******
AHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR I HATE DECISIONS!!!
Me and my man are saving for our own home - and it's bloody hard work!! Seems like the 'pot' of gold never seems to grow 
On top of getting the money together, I can't decide whether to stay STAY in Chester or GO back to where I spent most of my life in Bielefeld!!
Decisions, decisions
