No offense, but i believe it's easier for people who have never lived in a country that wasn't their own, to be less cautious, and assume ease in migrating than those who have moved. Migrating for whatever reason isn't as easy as people think it, but i can understand why people associate it to intrigue and prosperity.
I raise my glass to those who have done it. It's a hard job, like any other, not a one week safari.
It has worked well enough for me, to still be here, but it is still hard.

Exactly. I have lived in Denmark, Spain, Mexico and Paraguay and either learned the language or spoke it already. It sounds very romantic bu it is extremely difficult. I also agree that I wouldn't live where I couldn't work. So no, I don't think I'd move especially at this point in my life. I'd have to import someone I guess.
mexikanska: I did, and I am so happy......met my husband by internet I am from México and he is from Sweden, completely different kind of life, education, issues and all that, but we are so happy to have met each other......is hard to leave all, but never mind when you are inloved.....
I did it, now I'm stuck in Sweden
The kids mother and I split up 4 years ago. The only country I would ever move to again for love would be back home to Northern California.... or Las Vegas...

this is a sore subject as i hate paperwork and the dogs are the holdup
why couldnt my husband have moved to spain instead?
mindfful: but sf-you are happy to be with your kids and grateful to have a job doing what you loveriiiight?
Of course I love Sweden, don't get me wrong, I just prefer more sunshine, miss NFL sundays, and the barbecue parties that accompany that.
And I do miss the openness and warmness of the American people. Swedes are really reserved and shy, unless it's friday or saturday night when they are drunken silly.
Right now is the hardest time in Sweden with the little daylight we have for the next couple of months....but it's cool.
Oh, I miss hanging out at the mall and picking up on random women. The malls here suck.

yes but look at the obvious clarity it has provided you

Aww shucks SF does that mean you would not migrate to good 'ol Nebraska for me and of course Nebraska Football? (JK)
lusciousmile: Hi. No, i would not move for love *alone*, meaning i would not move to a place i couldn't study or work, depending on the point my life would be at the time.Sweden is beautiful, and i have been thinking about going there for my masters. My current uni. is swedish too.Welcome to the forums.
I would, yet, I have to also agree with you, Lusci, these limits ARE very important. I also could not live somewhere, where I could not work or study.

I'm happy for your success in doing so, and for others who have done so as well. But no, I couldn't and wouldn't move to another country just for love. I can't move anywhere for a long time anyway, not until my children are grown and out of school...so I wouldn't even move to another city right here in my state right now.
In the future...who knows? I never say never...but I can say it doesn't ever look likely.
Congratulations to you and your husband, and blessings on your future.
