Would you move across the country to be with the one you love?

[OC]

?

[Merlin]

:wavey: Been there, done that.

[nickel]

yes i would, but i would be very sure of the relationship before i made such a big move.

[tweeteresa]

just for love? no. i'm too much of a realist. i need a means to support myself. i don't want us to be eating cup of noodles every day and living in a box in the alley somewhere. if i can find a job (or if he has the necessity to support me) then it would be different. it also matters where. and what the reason is for me to move and not him. i need the security. life encompasses more than love....and sometimes, love just isn't enough.

[Jeffbx]

Sure - I've done it.

[hoey222]

it wasn't cross country - but i've done it - i was young and stupid once - - - - - - -




(or twice)

[Jenny]

Yes.

Question is... Would you move halfway around the world?

[Jenny]

oh, and my answer to that is... Absolutely. :)

Around the world? But jenny, i only live a couple states away ;)

[Jenny]

Awwww, hapoo, that's right! What was I thinking? ;)

[Kim]

I would.

[ray]

if i had a job secured before i left, yes.

[zenbooty]

As one who is well employed with a comfortable salary and all that comes with, let me assure you eating ramen and sleeping on the floor seems a small price for true love. And I would eventually find a job wherever I go.

[Ladogaboy]

I would, and, in fact, up until about 5 months ago, I was planning to.

That sounds really idealistic, and i used to think that way. But I don't think love can survive the pressures of life. If it could we wouldn't see so many discontent couples. After all, every one of those couples divorcing must have at one point been in love.

[baggio248]

Yes I would now, unfortuneatly that is what caused my break up, was my lack of willingness to move, but now...I'm sure I would do it, course now it's too late.

Edit: And to answer both questions, yes, I would. ;)

[Jenny]

:) juju, you are who I thought of when I asked my question. :)

[whitak24]

well.....hmmmm.....it's a good question.

i'm moving (halfway) across the country from the person i love :shifty: :hmm:

[le_stick]

I moved from NY to OK. I have to quit my job in private sector
and join the Fed. I got a salary cut of almost $20K. But we are happily married with a 21 months old daughter....:)

[Kevster]

I definitely would.

[theorangeone]

I don't know. Right now, I'd have to say no. There is too much going on here that I wouldn't be able to deal with from far away. Perhaps someday. Of course, I can also say that because I don't have anyone that I love outside my family.

My sister moved clear across the country with no job for her or for the fiance last year.

[molecularfire]

Depends on our situation in life. Currently, my GF and I are not even in the same state. The reason is because we both have things to do in our lives to get to where we want to be carreerwise. Now, could one of us give up our dreams to live together... yes. However, I don't want to look at her and be reminded of what I gave up... and vice versa. Unfortunately, relationships are the only thing that I can think of whose worth decreases as its cost increases.

[Jihforce]

No, it doesn't always work out in the end. For every relationship that does, there are tons of other that don't.

[IntegraTypeR]

If he and I had already been together for a really long time before he had to move across the country and if I already had a job secured at this other location, then I'd move.

[attgig]

i'd do it once we got married.

[Airencracken]

I'd like to think that I would, however I'd probably take a lot of coaxing, being the cynic that I am. I would like to think that I could believe in love that much.

[angl2b]

I would to both questions if I really love the guy :love2: :love:
