QOTD

It's a bit late in the day, but why not.  Taken from "The Book of Questions" which I just found in a box while cleaning....

For a person you loved deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant/remote country knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends or family again?

Re: QOTD

  • Honestly, I dont think I could.  I grew up really close to my family and still am.  I cant imagine not being able to see them again. 

    Edit: I have to say though it would depend on the situation, are we talking about someone I love deeply that Im just dating or my husband is moving for his job?

  • I'm trying to imagine different scenarios this question.  I think if I had met someone from a foreign country and fell in love with them, I still wouldn't be able to leave my family and friends at home. 

    If I was already married to the person, like if DH got some new job and HAD to move... then I'd obviously move with him.  I would fight tooth and nail not to have to move though.  I'd rather have him lose a job than have to move, personally.

  • There is always a possibility that DH would have to move to Singapore for his job.  He knws I would HATE it so he hasn't put himself into any direct situations where he would have to anytime soon.  I obviously would do it but I wouldn't be happy.  I wul dhave a hard time even moving to Portland which could be a reality some day...

  • I did. I moved to CA with my then-boyfriend when I was 21. I met him when I worked at a resort in Jackson Hole, WY. He was from CA, so I moved there with him because we were "in love". Turns out he was crazy & I was stupid. Wink
  • Can I still be a Detroit Nestie after I move?

     

    I don't mind moving so much, as long as our littles are still young. I wouldn't want to uproot them to move once they are in school. I have moved to follow DH's job a few times, and don't really mind so much. I'm always up for a life adventure if I feel as though that is the way the universe is taking us.

    Good question.  The answer is yes.

  • I don't know that I could.  I'm super close to my family.  My sister and her husband & baby live in NC and that alone makes me sad because we don't get to see each other nearly as much as we'd like to.
