Is love worth moving across the world??

Question

I'm in the US. Almost 7 years ago, I dated an Aussie while he was living in the US. We broke up when he moved back to Australia. We've recently been back in touch, and I realized I'm still deeply in love with him. I think he may be my soulmate. However, I'm really happy with my life here, other than not having someone to share it with.

Is it worth moving to Australia for him, or will that cause me to harbor resentments for the life I left behind?? Is love worth leaving my family and friends?

Answer 1

Are you just lonely and thinking about something that once was and getting butterfly's, this could be an infatuation with what you want, You want someone to love so bad and he is familiar, I would say wait and see what else happens between the two of you.

Answer 2

Speaking from personal experience, (I moved cross country!), it is very hard. You feel so alone, because even though you have this person with you, its tough not having your family and your friends around you. As nice as it is to have your soul mate, its also hard to expect them to fill your life like all those people did before. But honestly, four years later, we're still together. And though it's been very hard, its been worth it. I love him and can't imagine not having made that move. You need to take a moment and really think this through and speak to your family and get their point of views. I'm sure that no matter what you do, you'll be true to your heart, which is the best thing to do for yourself.

Take care!

Answer 3

If you love him enough you should at least go to Australia and give it a try. There is nothing to stop you from changing your mind later. It is a long trip to Oz but it is not a one way ticket where you will lose your family and friends forever. Love is always worth a try. It is sad to be surrounded by people you care but not with the one you are in love with.

Answer 4

No relationship is worth the abandonment of the rest of your life. It's only one (small) factor in the grand scheme of things. If you move to Australia, you'll be leaving the majority of that scheme behind for one person. Doesn't sound too smart, does it?

Answer 5

hey!!!! cool!! nice to know our aussie guys are doing us proud!!! haha. what part of aus is he from? melbourne, brisbane, sydney? if its these places he wont leave (they are wonderful) but anywhere else you should ask him to move back there. have you ever been here before? its wonderful, you would love it!!! evryone always does... have you sponken to him about it? i think you should coe on a holiday to aus and see how you like it then if its worth it why not move here, if not stay there. if you come over im in darwin hehe!! top of the country, come find me!!

Answer 6

You should look at every aspect of this situation. What is he doing with his life? Do the two of you share the same interests? Are you willing to give up what you have for someone else and is he willing to do the same for you?

Answer 7

If you don't go, you may regret it and think of what could have been for the rest of your life. I say go, if only for the new experiences. Maybe just try it out for a few months?

Answer 8

Only you can answer that. Can you see yourself over seas and away from family for an extended amount of time?

If it was meant to be, things will work out so that you will be able to go. Talk to your family about it.

Answer 9

Be smart and try, the best advise is your advise for your self, but you short with information, go to Australia, and find this information about you too,

Answer 10

if i were in your shoes, i'd take my time. see how things play out. it would be a shame if you were to move to australia and it didnt work out. but i would continue to build your relationship and get to know each other better and better before you make a drastic change. Goodluck and God bless you!
