Say that you have met a girl or a boy that u like, and she/he lives far far away ( not the land in the Shrek movies) and both have kids. You have been dating for a while...And now thinking about moving together. But the kids also have a other parent too...And the distance is long...

Who are going to move??? And is it right to spilt up the kids from the parent that are still in the old country?

I was looking to move for the one in my life at the time and leave my children behind.... The hardest decision in my life.

It's the only reason I am glad the relationship didn't last.

Wow.. That was a serious relationship P!
Just as well you found out before you made the move.
I don't think I could expect anyone to leave young kids behind and move to be with me..
I'd be worried about resentment occuring in the future or even just plain old sadness at not being around their kids as and when they wanted.
It is definitely a difficult question though, fortunately one I no longer have to consider as both my kids are back in the UK now

I wouldn't get involved with someone who lives far away in the first place.But If I was and I say a big Iffy on that one, I wouldn't think of ever moving my children far from their father.Wouldn't be fair to my children's father nor my children to do so.

It was serious, and yes I did think through the issues.
The resentment would not be one, as it was my decision.... the sadness... well of course but I had plans of coming back to see my boys regularly. They know how much I love them and would not abandon them. They were actually looking forward to me going so they could visit another country. Still encouraging me to go now laugh
How many fathers are absent in their childrens lives in this world. I would make sure I would not be on that statistic.

Sorry about your own two, but at least they can come and visit, and also bear in mind that children will leave the nest at some point in their lives

I guess it easy to move if there are no other parent..

Just curious what other meant about this subject..

And the easiest must be to find someone that lives close..

I dont it..and no regrets..

I moved from Canada to North carolina..and my oldest didnt want to come..so he stayed behined..but made sure he had a place to live..

Then we left North Carolina to move to Canada, he left his girls and family behind..but the girls are with the mother..

No regrets there either..

Its not as if you cant travel to go and see them or them come here..

Life does go on..

Very tough and personal question. Iti s all depends on a situation. And only people who has to make that decision is responsible

Sorry, but I prefer to refrain from giving an advice or to share an experience.

I think its a individual/personal choice,and one that only you can make,by using your head as well as your heart.

However moving does not mean one is abandoning,just means one is moving forward.
