Relocating for love

Dumping your career for the sake of love isn’t that easy. Now imagine having to leave it all behind … family, friends, a home and that career of yours.

Well, some woman did it. She was six month’s pregnant and when the husband asked her to do him a favor and move to Madrid, between her and the three words in her Spanish vocabulary, she couldn’t say no. But not every one is so quick to start parking up those boxes for a partner. Deciding whether or not to move is something that requires a lot of consideration. This move will either bring you closer or break you.

Speaking of relocation, with the current rise in online dating, people are now dating across continents. What if he or she asks you to leave it all and fly across that continent to be with him or her? Would you?

When should you rip up your life as you have always known it for the sake of a relationship?

  1. I’ve considered whether or not I was willing to relocate (even outside of the states). You’re right, it’s a matter of changes everything!

    The individual circumstances should dictate the answer to that. And should have been considered along back when the dating turned serious. The asking party and the movee should start discussing the “what if’s” when that realization be became a reality.

    The one addtional question to that would be, when do you consider it to be serious enough to consider the possibilities?

  2. I am at the point in my life where I am not afraid to move, but more for me than love. Been a Jersey girl all my life, but why? Fear, comfort, family. Not me.
    Relocate if you want, just make sure it’s for the love of you, not him or the idea of being with him.

  3. Absolutely! I agree with Prettypaw!

  4. Yes I would make the move, Just make sure it is for love and it is someone that you know that you want and want to be with. Not out of lust..

  5. I can’t imagine doing it but I’m not dead-set against it. Love can’t conquer all and if I’m going to be unhappy as a result, I’d hope that my partner would weigh that heavily. You can’t have a good relationship if one person is miserable.
