If you feel your relationship is
moving too fast and are invested in
making this relationship work, then
I suggest you find a way to communicate this with your partner in a
way in which you are comfortable.
While doing so it’s important to explain where you are coming from.
Have you ever been in a relationship for this long? Have you ever
had a serious
relationship? Is your life currently in
transition? These are all good ways
of framing your discomfort and
remember, there’s nothing wrong
with feeling uncomfortable in a
relationship - but if you don’t
communicate your concerns to
your partner, they have no way
of knowing.
Things to keep
in mind:
1 | You and your partner
are coming from different
countries and cultures so
many of your ‘norms’ are
likely to be different.
2 | Communication
should be clear and calm.
Patience is key.
3 | No matter what the
end result, you should be
really proud of yourself.
Intercultural love and
dating is fun, exciting and
can be an all over amazing
experience. What a gift it is
to love and be loved by one
from another culture.
