[QUOTE=jamesbrown;2060066I mean, what's the "let's think about this" part, FFS?[/QUOTE]
Because, for a while, I thought "hell, why not, get to live in (other country) with a nice woman, start a whole new life, what the heck!"
It took maybe 30 mins for it to dawn on me that in fact that's not what I want to do. I think the idea becoming a reality made me consider it seriously for the first time. And duly considered, I realised that I don't want to move and start over with a woman I don't know very well.Comment

If its in the country that I am thinking of, you could just say that you like working there, on occasion, but don't fancy making your life there?
If its with the same company that I am thinking of, do you not think that, perhaps, she would like the opportunity of getting a spouse visa and coming to live/work in the UK?
A contract (however long running) is not worth getting married for...I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

This sounds more complex than you're letting on. Particularly since you actually [albeit it for 30 mins] considered actually taking her up on the idea.
The lie needs to be something you can carry through to work, I assume? An easy one might be telling her that you're sadly going to need to drop contact with her, as GF has discovered your secret flirtation.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

If the tiny willy doesn't do it, the fact you send her a naked pic of your bits might.
