I think this will be aimed at more of the younger people who have moved to HK (I'm assuming if you are married, you and your spouse would have compromised and moved over together)... what happened if you had a bf/gf when you decided to move to HK?

Maintain a LD relationship, split up, they moved with you or other?

Er, I think you'll find that being married isn't one of the inevitable aging diseases... there are plenty of us around who moved to HK in our 30s or 40s (or, I dare say, 50s) with bf/gf elsewhere.

Thanks for nit-picking..

So, for ANYONE who had a bf/gf back home and decided to come to HK, if its convenient to share - of course, what did you decide to do?

I left my boyfriend in the Uk when I moved here a few months ago...we have left things very much up in the air, and will see what happens when I go back in the summer. He is also coming to visit in January.
In a way this is nice, as it has given me a lot of time on my own to evaluate things, and decided what I want from life. It has also been quite liberating being completely independant again.
Every relationship is different though, and what works for one couple may not work for another, depends on where you are in your relationship and how committed you are (or not) to each other I think.

I lost two relationships already because of moving. The other one was my gf went to Taiwan to study. Then, later, I moved to Hong Kong to work... so we broke it off because of the distance.

Some kinda hard ey!

YES! thats exactly what it is like with me.. even down to him coming out in jan!

I have been enjoying being 'single'(ish) since being in HK, but I just had a crappy weekend and was feeling lonely and missing having someone there.. and had a moment when I didnt know if I'd done the right thing. So just wanted to see others experiences.

Not having someone around to share the experiences you have here is quite hard to get used to. And...of course, when you feel down, or ill, or a bit homesick, that's when you're gonna miss him the most.
....But hey, January is only 2 months away!
