For anyone interested in how this panned out ...
Spoke with my other half and she was extremely upset as expected, but she has now come round and is supporting me in accepting the contract, knowing that I will be heading to NYC at the first opportunity. Also spoke with her parents too, and they agree that making decision with the best net effect for our future is the right thing to do. We both feel happier now and ready to accept the challenges that lie ahead.
Thanks again to everyone for helping me get through this.
Glad to hear that, mate. Seemed like all good. Not sure about other people but if it's me, it's always a career first because when the job is good, the life is always going to be good too.
And slowly, I can build up my personal love-life from that point, even that it's slow in the beginning.
p/s: But of course, I am not going to Al-Ahli if I am Roberto Firmino myself.
