I can really relate to how you feel. I have been living in Melbourne for 10 years (originally from Northern Ireland), my wife is an Aussie. I have been home several times and each time it gets harder and harder to leave. To be brutally honest I dint think i have ever fitted into Australia and have been living a bit if a lie telling myself I'm OK. My wife likes the UK but with the current government making it hard fir q spouse to get a visa it can be really difficult. I'm at the stage where I wake up thinking if home and go to bed thinking of home. It's almost depressing me! I must sound like a complainer but I miss small things like the food, the nice people, the small houses. And to family get older and develop health problems also draws me back.
For your situation I totalling sympathise and understand and i think ultimately that a move back home would result in no regrets.
