Then, if life seemed better and more hopeful, I'd split to where it felt better and more hopeful. I honestly don't understand why the relatives in Austria's opinion counts so much, as they are not on the scene, unless you have decided to emigrate to Austria. Would that be a good alternative for you? Since you do have family there, and you like it already and feel a lot of loyalty to it?
It's not a good idea to live somewhere that you dislike so strongly. We're grappling with some of the same questions, although we like where we live, but want to move closer to family. I'm sick of looking and thinking about it, maybe we just need to do it.
