Should I stay or should I come back....?

Should I stay in France or come back home?

FRANCE: I have a job I like, strictly my profession - I'm teaching, only 20 H per week, I have small groups (like 7 pupils), so not much homework to check, etc. However, I'm payed by Poland, so what I earn doesn't even make the minimum salary permitted in France. That's why I can't rent a flat, because you have to provide documents that prove that you have a stable FRENCH job and you earn 3 times the rent. I can't. So I need sb who will do all that for me, and I don't know anybody. The only person that earns enough money is my ex-boyfriend, but one can't really ask him for help... Actually we lived together once, that's how I got a place to live, but it didn't work out between us. I found a free room in school's flats, but soon after I had to leave, because it's actually for French teachers, as administratively I work for Poland. Then I could come back, but I'm never sure to stay. About the money - all that's bothering me is the requirement about 3x the rent, because for me, honestly, I earn enough to get on well!!!

Additionally, I have no assurance in France. And I don't have many friends in my age, so I'm a bit lonely...

So... staying and struggling for a flat and other stuff all the time and keeping my favorite job? Quit this job and try to find another one here? and hope to find a new bf, another reason to stay here (and really, I had only French bfs in my life!)

POLAND: There is a lot of unemployment, I don't want to work at school because it's really difficult these days in there. I have my family, but I can't come back to live with them, as I actually left because of my father... He's unsupportable, despotic,stills treats me like a child=sb who has nth to say, so he wants even to control all my money...

I'd like to go to the city where I went to university, I have friends there, and I can rent a flat without any questions. However, the job is not waiting there, it is not easy to get, and I will never have the same level of life that I had before. With the small thing I earn in France, I can go for a vacation to Poland;) But being in Poland, I'm not sure to earn enough to go on holidays to France or anywhere. But I''ll have an assurance, a flat - but... a job? A boyfriend? A comfort living? Maybe not.

What would you do in my place?

    If France makes you happy I would push to get more hours there so you can earn enough to stay.

    IF not the town where you went to school if it is nice is where maybe you want to be. Bottom LINE-do what makes you happy not what we say!
