- In 2019, I moved to Mexico to be with my long-distance fiancé.
- We struggled financially, and I felt isolated in my new environment.
- I broke up with him several months later and moved to Germany to pursue a master’s degree.
When I left the US to study abroad in Paris in January 2018, I never expected to come home with a fiancé.
I was a few months into my semester when I met another study abroad student from Mexico at a concert. We clicked, had our first date a few days later, and quickly became inseparable. I told myself I’d found my soulmate. A month later, in April, he asked me to marry him, and under the romantic spell of springtime in Paris, I said yes.
By June, the semester was over, and I returned to Maryland to finish college while he went home to Mexico with one year of school and a bachelor’s thesis left to complete. We parted at the airport with tears in our eyes, promising to be together again soon.
