Fear of relocating

has anyone ever thought of relocating on here?

honestly I am afraid of being miles away from my mother and the whole family , friends and my Job

thoughts that come to my mind are

what if the person becomes abusive?

The weather in that certain country , and of course the food .

Am I paranoid or everyone considers these things?

Well... I have "relocated" a few times in my life already.

First time when I left my home in my family to go to England.

Second time we all went to Germany (husband and kids) because of work and better education.

Third time, me alone here in Spain.

I never relocated because of a man and I don´t think I would either unless it was in the same area.

In your case there are many things to consider? Work? Family? Other culture maybe? dunno

Weather & food are other issues if you're moving from a warm country to a cold climate.

I see it the same as chasing a bus. It probably wont stop anyway, so stay put and another one will come along sooner or later.

There's a long blog on this already which you might want to read.

I've relocated several times in my life, and on my own, not for a man. I'd do it, but then I am not a huge family person so if your ties are important, don't.

I have no intention of relocating as I like where I live. It is safe, and has no weather extremes, dangerous animals or natural disasters waiting to happen,

But I wouldn't expect anybody else to relocate for me either.

If I were to relocate, it would probably be to Spain as I love it.

Hi Leoma. Long time no see. While u were off elsewhere I had a thing for 7 months with a Turkey guy and I told him:- I will not relocate to Turkey as I don't know the place and it's far away from SA, and he said that he will not move to SA, as it's too dangerous. Well, as much as I tried to convince him that he was wrong, he would not budge. I think he was just using it as an excuse, to get out of it. He was even too scared to take the shuttle from the airport to the hotel, so I said I would pick him up. People have preconceived ideas about certain countries, that is so wrong.

Leoma, I relocated from Joburg to Ireland and no, not to be with a man. It's not for sissies, that's for sure. The weather is a very real part of the acclimatisation but far more difficult is being far away from loved ones. You've got to be 150%, if not 200% sure of your decision

I've considered it.


There was some anxiety, yes.

It's a lot of trust in the other person, because there'll you be

and for at least awhile they'll be the only person around you know.

Leoma.I resigned from a well paid government job,and immigrated to SA, where stayed for 22 years.Never cut ties with friends and family.
Your fears if the person becomes abusive,are unfounded.
Simple, if doesn't works out,you pack your bags and return home.
