Would You Have Moved There?

[Cassie 8]

Jerry moving to Canada was definitely an option, and it still is an option, because he loves Nova Scotia and wants to live there in the future and gain dual citizenship. At this point in time, us being here in the US made the most sense. Although, if Jerry didn't have great medical insurance, I wouldn't have moved.

I did move there and remained happily for 10 years, and will probably go back.

I did and I lived there for 2 1/2 years. But all along we had the intention of moving back to the US once we got his visa, which is what we did. We wanted to do this because we have a better chance of offering better education and job opportunities to our future children in the US.

It's a definate possibility

i say that i would (i KNOW my parents would kill me), but i've never even visited india, and all i know about it is from bollywood movies (which i've heard are misleading). i know that nizzar will never move back there, so it's not really a question for me.

He had the ability to support me, and a job and a car and a place for us to live... I couldn't return the favour because I didn't have any of the above! So there wasn't really any need for discussion.

You don't have an option for 'we thought about it but it wasn't practical'

I cannot believe that some people answered "No" that they wouldn't move there. (Flame ready suit on). I would do ANYTHING it took to make our relationship work. Ali would do ANYTHING it took to make it work. I think it's sad to ask someone to leave their country and come to you when you would never even consider the same. We are two people in love that will sacrafice whatever it takes to be together and start or family. I would totally move to Lebanon in a heartbeat and live there if Ali's visa was not going to work out.

What if doing so meant abandoning your children, as someone said above? What if you needed medical attention you couldn't get there? What if, like me, you had spent years and gone tens of thousands of dollars in debt to build a profession and a professional reputation that would be absolutely worthless in the other country?

I plan to retire in 10 years. We are going to move to the Philippines and buy an appartment building. Stay in one unit and rent the others. I have a brother that is engaged to a Philipina. He is retiring from the Navy soon and will move there also.

I have a son too near to finishing high school. I would have gone, but would have had to wait.

I would love to live there. Convenient mass transit, basic needs within walking distance, smaller easier to care for homes. Not to mention the fact that you can't be bankrupted by illness. Nor become homeless unless you chose to be.

Not tryin to argue but I have one question for you ... What will you do if she gets denied ? And denied ? And denied ? If there was absolutely no way she can come here ? It was your choice to marry someone from overseas ... right ? Yes, I have a professional career here that is taking off pretty well. I will graduate from my university in December (I would never leave before graduation), however my husband is way more important then anything tangible. Give me the entire world on one hand and my husband on the other, and I would choose him ... no matter the circumstances, no strings attached. That's all I am trying to say. Haven't you ever heard of "for better or for worse" ?

Hubby and I have thought about it. At the moment, it is not an option because I would not be able to sponsor my foreign hubby to live in Indonesia permanently (consequently would not be able to work), on the other hand I speak English better than hubby speak Indonesian....hence the move to US.

But we are thinking about going to live in Indonesia in the future (money & regulation allows).

oh give me a break! you think because, people on here love their Spouse less because they refuse to live in their Spouses country? each and everyone has made their choices on their needs and spouses needs. the only one Croaking about it is YOU! I think the poster above having a profession and the posters having childeren or whatever is their reason for making the choice they decided. its nothing to belittle them over. maybe you wanna live in Lebannon thats your right. its not fair for you to think others are wrong for not wanting to be like YOU!

I can and did. We went through the whole USCIS visa process, got married, and then better opportunity presented itself back in the UK-so we moved.

I would live there in a minute....though the only work I could probably do there would be as an English teacher (though theoretically my work can be done anywhere in the world there is Internet access, my company probably would not allow it). But he really wants to come here. I should have picked the answer "Yes but my family would kill me." Especially because I have an 11-year-old and they would not want me to take him to Korea (though he is half Korean). If I went there there are issues, such as my son's education, that would be difficult. Also I have a disability and the facilities over there are not as advanced as here. I sure hope we at least do get to visit there often.
