You are a successful, happily married IT professional. So far, so good. One day, you get this really exciting job offer abroad, which you just can't resist. After all, many of your friends work abroad, making tons of dollars; you've always felt left behind.
You decide to grab this opportunity. What about your better half? Well, she is also an IT professional, with her own career ambitions; you decide a long-distance relationship for some time is the answer.
Do you know what happens afterwards...

No offence lovie... but suck it up and drive on or go with your better half. either way is a gamble. been there done that... i am here now. and my spouse is here with me.
plus if you guys are married you might want to go over there because of the new tax laws for 2007 if you are in the coutry more then 35 days you are taxed at 30% since you two are married your paycheck will all be taxed at 30%! dont believe me ask a real tax officeal. someone that specializes in contracting. if you are marreid and you are both overseas you both get the 84000 tax exempt status. if one of you is here and one is in the US your going to have some serious problems.

I miss my husband but never even in dreams I will find a replacement LOL I have so much respect for myself, for him and our marriage to do such thing besides I am not the type that would settle for some physical needs in exchange for a lifetime commitment.

dear,in view definetly this type of situation isnt for good.The temporary distance which you think will result into distance forever as there is a chance of space created by you in her life can be taken by any of her friend who moves around her closely while you are away. The same may be with in the mens life life also.Another woman may come into to take her place atleast temporarily.But there is no chance of this type of situation if there is mental bound between the wife and husband.am i right?

why ya think they call it going A Broad lol I never go anywhere without my wife, long distance relationships never work out. I had two of them before getting with my wife, they both failed miserably...

Long distance does work. its just nnot for everyone & only for very few. My sis married a guy from the internet 2 yrs ago. But what you are talking about,, go with our husband for a job he has abroadf or he should fgo with her abroad. Also the reason you should go isnt cause uyou will get jealous BUT because you love him or her & want to go anywhere he he goes.

What? This makes no sense.
In my opinion here is what you do. One of the two has to make a sacrafic. Either he does not go to his exciting new job. Or she goes with him. Why would you want to have a long distance relationshop with your spouce that makes no sense to me.

If they follow diferents ways it's complicated!
When there's family in the middle it's hard to leave them and go to work abroad

Depends on individual.If money is thecriteria,then you should go.Of course the ideal thing would be to go with your better half.

No I dont know about it. I guess may be your gf get confused after yiu said to go aboroad for money. May be you will lost her. And she didbt care about youas well.
sometimes she will agree with you and help for this oppertunaty. But someday is she gets like this oppertunaty she will also take this because you did like that.
I think like that

I think that wife should go with the husband. After all why do U earn?? To live a happy peaceful life!!What is the use of ur hard earned money if u don't stay together?? Just communicating with each other is not enough. U need to spend time with each other for a healthy relationship.

I think it's better to go with the guy.So that the relationship stays there and won't gets worse when they are so far from each other.

well many of u got a job offer from abroad.when we are single we like to join that job at any cost but after marriage it is not possible to settle in the another country with your whole family.for that job u have to left ur family members & ur freedom. it is quite easy to chat with ur mate on net & talk with ur family memebers on telephone but the ur gardians & ur family memebers need ur help in trouble.so before going abroad just think about your family & freedom once.

I think, going abroad for a job is okay. If you are already married, sometimes you have to make sacrifices for your future. Just make a clear deal with your partner that you will stay true to one another and keep constant communication. Also, the decision has to be agreed by both persons. There are instant messengers and webcams and 3Gs now, so keeping in touch shouldn't be that hard anymore.

look living separately of married couple I think, is a disaster to their relationships. I am of the opinion that though a lady may remain sicere to his spouse, but I am sure 99% gents can't stay sincere abroad, so ladies guys, suggestion for u, is never allow yr hubby go abroad alone, u must accompany even at the cost of your job if u want to save yr relationship and truthfullness in it. Ladies should search the job also abroad and in case of U.S., on getting job (specially IT persons)they must apply for working visa.
