I deeply hurt people by moving to Saudi Arabia

When I made the decision to move to Saudi Arabia, I never imagined the extent to which it would hurt my loved ones. The distance between us seemed insurmountable, and the cultural differences only magnified the divide.

My family and friends were shocked and saddened by my choice to move to a country so far away, where the cultural norms were vastly different from what we were accustomed to. They felt abandoned and betrayed, as if I had turned my back on them.

Communication became strained, and misunderstandings ensued. I struggled to bridge the gap between us, but it felt like an impossible task. The hurt and resentment festered, and relationships that were once strong began to crumble.

I realized too late the impact my decision had on those I cared about. The guilt weighed heavily on me, and I wished I could turn back time and choose differently. But the damage had been done, and all I could do was try to repair what was broken.

I made it a point to stay connected with my loved ones, despite the distance. I reached out regularly, apologized for the pain I had caused, and worked to rebuild trust. Slowly but surely, our relationships began to mend.

It was a painful lesson to learn, but it taught me the importance of considering the feelings of others before making major life decisions. Moving to Saudi Arabia may have been the right choice for me, but it came at a significant cost to those I cared about.

I am hopeful that with time and effort, we can heal the wounds that were inflicted. Our bonds may have been strained, but they are stronger for having weathered the storm. I am grateful for the forgiveness and understanding of those I hurt, and I am committed to never causing such pain again.
