What would you do? life changing decision ... genuine posts only please !!

Stay for your daughter. You brought her into this world, she has a right to a father.

plus like already said, you can take holidays to the UK and im sure your work would more than generous about holidays to see family and friends

You'll meet new people
 
Stay where you are. use the internet to meet people where you are. Life isnt good to you at the mo, but i bet there will be some good to come out of it. Stay working there, then at Xmas time, take december/january off and head home for xmas/newyear, then go back.

Chin up! im sure the silver lining is on its way soon!

I have a 9 month old daughter and I could never leave her on the other side of the world. Like others have said, give it a year and if things dont work out you can always come back then and you wont have the "What if" hanging over you for the rest of your life.

Hope things work out for you, you can always make new friends :)
 
You could always stay for a bit longer,Im sure you would meet new people, take the chance to see your daughter and if you still want to leave after 6 months a year then by all means do so at least you would know you gave it a chance.
 
im not in your shoes but i would stay for a bit just for your daughters sake. you will meet new people anyway and i dont know how you could leave your daughter really... but as said i understand why you feel alone so its a lot more difficult to judge, especially as you would maybe be seeing the mother of your child move on with other men etc.
 
If I was in your shoes, I would look to stay with my daughter for as long as possible. As to whether you should keep your job, if you enjoy it, I would say go for it as it gives you something to so in the meanwhile and keeps you out of the house.

Mate you need to stay, you really do. Your daughter needs you, don't forfeit your right to be her father. It is not a hard decision, as soon as your daughter was born it was made for you.
 
I agree with you, you have to think of your own happiness in life first of all and in later years you're daughter will hopefully understand and respect that and be happy that her father is happy - assuming that you maintain as active a role in her life as you can from over here.

But i'd be wary of thinking about life in the UK with rose-tinted glasses. Are your mates really all that? After a bit they might begin to bug you when you realise what you gave up for them. I'm sure you could also get decent beer and Match of the Day over there as well, it's just a teeny bit more hassle.
 
I reckon you should stay, and in a few years if you still feel the same way, you could reconsider it. It'll be a lot easier to go back to the UK than to go back to Australia. Also, on a side note, Australia girls are bloody hot, go out and make some more mates, and you'll also have your daughter there with you, along with a good paying job...

whats not to like?
 
Considering the nature of your illness and what you said in the thread that you posted a month or two ago, I think you'd be mad to leave Aus personally...
 
its how much does seeing your daughter meen to youy i mean do you think or know your ex is going to do a good job of it (sorry it seems so harsh) but its dependent on you you can make new friends and still see / talk to your old etc and you always have family no matter what i shouldnt think it should be that hard for you to move on in australia it has a lot there =s ???


or that

For the moment I'd stay where you are and try your best to get out and meeting people.
Are you near an area with bars, clubs etc?
Theres got to be somewhere that has live music maybe?
Perhaps theres a British bar somewhere.
Stay where you are and get your arse out of the house.
