when you think you have found that one person that you have been waiting to meet how do you decide who makes the ultimate sacrifice and moves. especially when both parties have children?

Depends on who owns their own home, that should make it a bit easier to decide... <JMO>

It would depend on the ages of the children, their needs come first. If they're young enough, it'll be an adventure for them to move, unless you're taking them away from extended family that they're close to. No way I'm making an older kid pack up and move across the country just to satisfy myself, especially if it's where they've lived all their life. If it's real love, it'll just have to wait. Family comes first.

And answer Jess's question, what is that on your head??

I would HIGHLY recommend at least seeing each other a few times before giving everything up (job, home, friends, etc) to go live with someone else in a distant city or another state.

I feel awful...sorry...I like to look at the person and their profile before answering, especially if I have not made their aquaintance before...,

Distance sucks...let me tell you...I live five hours away from anywhere here in Australia, and I live on the flipside of most of the posters here on CS.

So really it comes down to the greater good of all, and you and your partner may need to look at all the pros and cons together for all of you, and make your decisions then. Negotiation counts most in a relationship...and compromise...

You first have to know they are the person for you and if they truly are for you it is not the ultimate sacrifice. It's a choice. Love doen't keep score.

The children have to come first!!

No self-respecting parent of any child under the age of 16 should consider this unless the child is deemed to be better off with the move.

Children need continuity, and if the relationship between the two adults is strong enough, then seasonal visits, holidays, work around the children's holidays ... etc

You cannot uproot children for the selfish sake of the adult.

Sorry ... no one will convince me otherwise ... and I dont have kids!

Ah, the good old coin toss. Or perhaps paper, rock, scissors. Take your pick and choose wisely.
