To Kate K - Impasse

You must ask yourself if there is any possible solution to this impasse. I like you, could move countries but have chosen not to at this stage. I may in the future but not at the moment but my Egyptian man and I have come to an agreement that he will try out living in my country and I in his in the future. I have visited Egypt many times but I would need to live there for at least 6 months straight to see if I could be truly comfortable with the lifestyle. He also needs to see whether he could live in the west. His social and business status is highly regarded where he lives and he also has an excellent job as well as running his own business. He also loves Egypt as much as your man loves Tunisia. How will this be solved? Only time will tell. We currently are involved in a business together that involves both our countries so I suppose we will need to see in which direction this leads.

This however, is not solving your problem. Unless you can both reach an amicable decision neither of you will be happy together in either country and then it comes down to - how much do you both really want to be together?
