Army vet and I've been here over 20 years. Sounds like you've done a LOT of long distance work on this relationship., maybe too much. Still, maybe we don't understand why she just can't move over here with you, maybe even get a job here, too. Sounds like a lot of financial baggage to be dealing with on a hakwon teacher's salary. If she were here, she could live at your place and work via the internet or, at the worst, work under the table. Not for us to judge.

So to each their own. Can you send back enough? Sure, but your ability to bank anything will be all but nullified. Will your income be acceptable to a landlord back there? Maybe, especially if you go with the GF when signing all the documentation.

But as a vet, you should know that these long distance things, even very long term ones, can go south in a split second. Even if you are in a committed relationship, putting your name on a lease where you don't live isn't a good idea.

Best of luck to you whatever you decide.
