For a person you love deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country?

I don't think I could ever move out of the country for a loved one. I was almost in that situation once. But in the back of my mind I always end up thinking about that movie Not Without my Daughter where Sally Field and her husband her child went to Iran or something to visit family and they ended up staying over there. But than the man was in his country and started beating her and became all different. So you really might not know what will happen if you move to another country with a spouse.

Thank you for your response. Your answer is the opposite of popular opinion, which is good. It's nice to have a different opinion and to see both sides.

You got that right, I saw the same movie and it's true, you just never know how a person might want to change up on you. So it's something that one should keep in the forefront of their mind when they are thinking about leaving their roots to go to someone else's lot that might appear greener. Happy Mylotting!I don't think that I could do it.

I would, yeah it is indeed strange when we are drawn to the fact that no matter what it takes or wherever you are being taken to by the one you loved you are persuaded without a doubt to be with them, the objective of course is to be with the person so dear to you. I am married to a person who doesnt live in my place, (although not necessarily in another country) but the thing remains that I don't have a relative in that place and I have to find new friends, but its totally okay as long as we are together at all times that matters above all.

Yes without a doubt. Love and happiness with the right person is important in life and you sometimes need to make thoughs changes to be happy. Love is what makes the world go around. Have a great weekend!

I have done this , well not exactly for the one I love but for a simple and better life . We both had very stressful lives living in the States and it was
ruining our health . We loved the Yucatan , Mexico and decided to sell the house and pack up and move here . It can be hard not seeing my mother and daughter often , but the computer makes keeping in touch alot easier . It has been an adventure of a lifetime . It has brought my husband and myself closer together
and has made our lives much richer and healthier . This is my home , that I love now , and I have a wonderful life here .

I wouldn't move for a loved one, even though it's very hard not too.
If I did, I'd be leaving so much more behind. My family, friends, for a totally new environment. More importantly, I'd be putting my life on hold, my career. I think the most important thing is getting settled and getting life stabled first. As it is for me.

If we love each other enough to get married, I might move if life would be better for us in that country. But, I would get married first. Once you leave, depending on your situation, it might not always be that easy to get back if things don't work out. I suppose I would want security before making such a dicision.
Blessings

Years ago, I would have packed up and moved anywhere in the world to be with the one that I loved. Now, I'm not so sure that I would do that. I have grandchildren now and I'm very close to my girls that are grown. I see how quickly love can turn and I have started over in the past because of love that I was sure was going to be forever. I don't believe i'd be willing to give up my grandchildren and my daughters and uproot the daughter that I still have at home and run off with a man. I think if the man really cared about me he would understand. Actually....I KNOW that I wouldn't do it.

Yes friend, indeed love is a very powerful feeling and it can make us do strange things but I'm not so sure that I would be willing to move to another country for love. Especially in view of the fact that there are different laws in different countries and they may not be what I'm familiar with. I often think that the next man that I meet is going to have to make his way over towards me b/c I know how it feels to move to a certain place and not to know a soul and believe me friend that is not a good feeling. Yes you might have the one that you love there with you but after he get tired of you then what
? He goes on and does his own thing and ur just stuck in a foreign place, so no thank you I would not do it. Happy Mylotting.

Yes, i can do this, sometimes life can make us decisions, and make choices.
But i can make this only if i am sure that somebody love me trully and i love him. Not just to live in other country.
is not weird to live with your love in other country, is just a decision you must take when you want to be with somebody who you really are in 
love.
love.
