Mate I so know what you are going through...foodwise ;)
I just went back to the Netherlands first time in 4 years and I missed so much food that 10 days was not enough but many things tasted better in my mind than in reality. But still so much things I am happy to have tasted again.
My GF was here for those 4 years and she went back to as well and came back with mixed feelings, as she is snot so good with languages and shy she doesn't talk much with the Spanish...for her going back felt really great and she is a bit weiry now. She did not expect to enjoy being back that much.
In your case, sounds like you learned the lessons you needed to learn and the good thing is if you don't like it back in the rain Mexico is only a plane ride away and your gf´s mom is a very cool person (based on the interactions I had with her).
So go follow your heart you´re not burning any bridges.
I know right, It's probably a lot better in my mind. The Netherlands has some really good food though! My GF is dutch and when i went there for the first time a few years back she couldn’t wait to have and show me the food she missed. My favourite was stroopwafels. Love to go back again sometime soon.
Yeh I kinda get how your GF would feel, I've never been very good with languages.
I definitely have learned a lot, and you are so right. Yeh she's pretty cool, thank you for your great words :)
It was a great read very recognizable next time you are in the Netherlands you should try white Tijger Brood with pure Hagelslag from the Albert Heijn brand ;)
Oh man, f you for bringing up our Dutch great bread and hagelslag.. djeez, did you at least take some to Spain? I will come and eat it at your place!
Didn´t bring back any bread but brought 1.2 kg of the good hagelslag and a large chunk of very good dutch cheese !!!
Haha, yeah well the bread needs to be fresh anyway, or frozen and then defrosted works too. I saw hagelslag at lidl last week but it was milk and not the pure one which I love. In Hungary you could buy it but not for bread topping, it was sold as cake decoration, therefore in tiny packages only.

Already tried it haha, that was the first thing my GF told me to try. It's so good!!
