My girlfriend, Emily, is going to the Netherlands next year to study abroad.
We just yesterday decided to be in a relationship and she told me that she is apprehensive because she knows that she's leaving next year.
She also confessed that she didn't really want to go, because she made the decision to go when her life wasn't going so great.
The problem is, however, that she wouldn't dare telling her dad because he had already paid and he was enthusiastic about it.
I don't want to create any drama but we both want her to stay next year. I feel like bringing up this conversation with her will be bad.
I think she's going with AFS and I'm sure they have a cancellation/refund policy. I'm also sure that her dad just wants the best for her.
She already made it clear that she was leaving and that we'd probably have to break up and I already made it clear that I'm prepared to accept what goes my way.
I also don't want to give her dad the impression that I'm forcing her to stay or anything.
I'm sure we're both feeling like every minute is a countdown. I really love her and I really want her to stay. If she really wanted to go to the Netherlands that would be different, but she has told me that she didn't really want to go even before our relationship.
Should I talk to her dad myself? Should I bring this up with her? Should I contact AFS to see if there even is a cancellation policy? (probably should do that first :P)
Pardon my choppy phrasing and thanks for all help,
Justin Collier
