How should I handle this situation?

I am Asian. I moved to Europe to live with my boyfriend. I’ve been here for six months now. During this time, we’ve been through quite a lot together — and it has been heavy. The most recent incident was the hardest one we’ve ever faced. Even so, we decided to try again, although we both feel very emotionally exhausted.

I feel discouraged and depressed. This period has been very difficult for me. I feel like I’ve lost my emotional anchor. I miss home. I want to go back to my country. But at the same time, I don’t know how I would start my life over again there. Deep down, I also want to continue living in this country. I have a job here, and I have things to do here.

However, I don’t feel my boyfriend’s desire for me to stay. I’m not sure what I should do. Should I open up and talk to him? I’m afraid it might cause more problems, especially since we both know we’re in a fragile place right now.
