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

Depends on why you wouldn't see your family again. As a counselor for women who have been victims of domestic violence there are a few cues you should be aware of in a relationship. Did he sweep in like a knight in shining armor after a bad thing happened in you life or while you were in a stressful situation? Does he want the relationship to move really fast? Does he tell you "we only need each other"? Is he very jealous? Does he not want you to work and want to take care of all the money? These are all signs that this will probably be an abusive relationship. What seems very caring right now, will end up being very controlling in the future. Take caution.

I would because at the end you and your mate would became a family of your own. Family and friends will always be there and you will get to visit when ever you get a chance. Follow your heart because if you stay you will always wonder. If you go and is not what you want then go back home. Best of Luck!

Yup. I love my husband alot, and follow him wherever he goes. Right now we have lived 3 years in Germany and I've not seen family in two years (8+ years married). If he is financially solid enough that you can go home to visit every few years, then go for it. Just check marriage/divorce laws in his country to see what kinds of rules you'll be living under, and what your rights are. Also find out if any children you have would automaticaly be granted to him, or if the law leans more to your side. Follow your heart, but keep your eyes WIDE open.

That depends on the person whom you are going to be with.. Are they stern with you? I've been there. Dont ever let a man walk all over you. If he said you cant see your family, you may be being abused. It's just not a physical thing. Make sure you really know the person your with before making any rash decisions

I have moved to the other side of the US for my wife.
I was raised in Oregon, and I now live in Alabama with my wife and two precious children. When I met my wife, we were both 18, and full of life, but I knew then that she was a southern girl, with strong family ties. I have had some issues, both with my family and myself, but all-in-all I would have to say that I would do it all over again. I love her, and for that, I would forsake anyone. What good is being w/ family, when your heart is broken?

If it meant that I was going to be happy, then yes. In life there will be sacrifices. Changing your whereabouts could be one of those sacrifices. I left my parents for the man I loved, and I am so glad I let my heart do the thinking, rather than what my family or my mind says. Just be happy, b/c change is good. TRUST ME!!!!!

If you are in love and you are married then yes. If you aren't committed or married then no. Furthermore, just because you are moving to another country doesn't mean you can't fly back to see your family.

Don't ruin your life with the person that would ask you to do that in the first place ,they're not thinking of no one but them selves. you only have one family, don't loose them.
