rohaan: It's funny--making a move seems so daunting, so difficult, yet nearly everyone I know, (including myself) who ventured to do so has no regret. For instance, a little over six years ago I made what my friends and family thought to be a very rash decision to move about 300 miles away. Frail and recovering from several operations and whirling from the rapid onset of a life-threatening illness (sorry for the drama, but it's all true..) I had to get out of the situation I was in. Just had to, that's all. It was with such a cornucopia of emotions and fears, and unknown factors, I am telling you it was absolutely frighteningly unreal, but I did it. Within a few months things had settled in my favor, financially, too, and I can tell you without reservation that making that decision, as hard and scary as it was, has turned into THE BEST THING I EVER DID in my whole life. I am so much better now, so much more relaxed, so more willing to socialize, you can't imagine how improved my outlook on life and my love for people has become so, so good. You never know until you try, and my story had a very happily ever after ending. There's something about the beach that just makes it all better.


But Ro, isn't that rather different. I too have moved around the world for work primarily, not for health reasons as you did, but I carefully considered the options beforehand, despite being a little afraid initially as you were. i've had a wonderful time living in different countries, but I knew that I could move away without any real upheaval. Moving for "love" is so much more of a commitment and you do not choose a specific place/country, you are choosing a person who happens to live there.

In response to: Ladies, would you be willing to relocate if you fell in love with a man that didn't have that option?


I'm actually not an adventurous-open-minded-holiday-girl-type, so I would vote relocating... I prefer SDR...peace laugh

Nope.

I already moved country and started from scratch once (stayed for work) and have no desire to do so again.

Yes. I would not pass up love and a future together just because my partner had obligations. After all, that could be a big mistake on my part if I didn't give it a try.
