I wish the answer is as simple as a "Yes" or "No". In principle yes if I was in love with someone, I would move, relocate to be with them. But I wont do that for someone that I've just met for a week or 2. Giving up my life, to move to another country is not a decision that will change my life considerably. So it must be because I no that this is not a fling, an impromptu decision, but something I know will be ever lasting and someone I will share my life for many years to come. I no life has no guarantees, but there are elements of it we can control.
It like buying a book, you wont know whether u like it, until you have read it, life is very similiar........

If you do make that kind of move, make sure you are able to live and work in that country, support yourself if things do not work out the way you had envisioned, if you want to stay there. Failing that, just move back to the country you left.

Between dream and reality are usually laws and practical issues that prevent you from taking steps like this. That may sound very rational but it is the truth I am afraid.
Apart from that I do not believe that being with someone will make you happy. It can only add to the happiness you already feel. In other words taking drastic steps because you chase a mirage isn't what I would recommend.
Only if you knew that the combination of people works well it could make sense and even then it is good to realize that the toughest test of a relationship is usually going abroad together. I have seen them fail more often than survive this one to be honest.
And yes I know this is a very unromantic reply :)

I think u should stick with the decission u've made no matter what as long as there's sm1 u really luv and never back down..ur happiness is only when ur with him,i dont believe there's such a thing called failing,u can try and keep trying untill u sucsess.

RDM59: Perhaps in the future but not at this point in my life. I have parenting responsibilities and the love of others that I am not prepared to leave yet.
Who knows what the future holds, but it sounds exciting and adventurous...
I would always ensure I had something to return home to should it not work out.
Actually Grand-Dad I think the same applies to many of us, and relocating does make it difficult to stay in touch with loved ones, hence long distance relationships very seldom work. However if the loved one's are your children, that you are leaving to relocate, then as both parties have to work considerably hard to stay in contact.
However if we always do what we always did, we will tend to get the same results, and sometimes a change is as good as a holiday
Life has no guarantees, and there's an old saying: Unless u ready to make a change, then dont do it, as its bound to fail. Keeping a 2nd home, in the event of it not working out, is almost like preampting it wont? I'd rather invest my money, so that if it didnt work out, at least financially I would be able to get myself on my 2 feet
