what motivates women to "go the extra mile" for love -- like change career plans, move to new city/country?

Answer 1

Because when its real for us, and we know it, we sacrifice...Most people do who are GEUNINELY in love We think of our well being, but also, what's best for us as a couple, and oftentimes, that means moving...I've done it, more than once...its always been right in one way or another

I've met new people, lived in new geographic areas - stood, on my own two feet to manage life in many regards, a bit better.

I think the LARGER issue here is this: making these decisions together as a couple, IF, you both love and respect one another.

If its all for him or all for her, its no good, and of course, the obvious: it will not work.

That said...I took a "lesser" job when I had my son, why? My husband commuted 2 hours daily - I figured it was easier for me, earning a little less than him, to bite the "bullet" for awhile and be a mom as well, and work within 5 miles of home - closer to my son. My reward some years later? My husband did a LOT while I returned to school to finish MY degree.

It's give and take hon, and if you don't have that STARTING OUT - its best to move on to another...because that in and of itself is one of the base criterias besides love, of a relationship lasting.

Sincerely,

Grace

Answer 2

It could be many things. I moved about 12 hours away from my friends and family to be with my boyfriend six months ago. Yes, I was motivated by my true and deep love for him, but I was also at a point in my life where I was between careers, looking for a change of scenery, change of pace... etc. It's going to depend on the individual person what will motivate them, some people are just free-spirited and will pick up and move for someone they've known only a few months. Mostly it just has to be a decision they are making and not at the request of someone else.

Answer 3

Multiple orgasms. Seriously, if a man was bad in bed, women wouldn't fall in love with him and wouldn't move across the street for him let alone across the state/country. I have a friend who has a theory that a woman's heart is 2 inches inside her vagina. He said that women fall in love from great sex. It used to piss me off when he said it (I was one of the women who was in love with him at the time) but now, looking back, I think he's right. I think we as women mistake great sex for love and get all "caught up". It's a shame really because it makes normal, sane women act otherwise.

Answer 4

Well, it's easy to find a great girl than it is to find a great guy - you know the guy who fits into that laundry list that a lot of women seem to have. When a woman finds the guy that she falls in love with, it's hard to let go, and we're willing to move to another place to be with them than to start the whole process of looking for love over again.

Answer 5

the man im with, thats what motivates me, if i love him enough, which i do as i stayed with him when he went off to Iraq about a month after getting together then moved out of home at 18, 3 hours away to live with him, married him & now we're having a baby & hes off to Iraq again for 6 months!

Answer 6

the person they are in love with motivates them to do it. If their love is sick they will do whatever to make sure the persons health isn't jeapordized. If however they don't really love the person, they will never go that extra mile.

Answer 7

There is no motivation. For a women it is the most important decision of her life. So think before you take such a big step.

Answer 8

It will depend on how much they love the other person and also what they might be leaving behind. When there's little to lose, much to gain, and no fear to hold you back then that makes it all easier

Answer 9

The love itself is the motivation-the purityof it,the speciality of it,the loyality of it motivates her to do anything for her lover

Answer 10

Insecurity. They're so desperate to keep the guy under surveillance that they'll drop everything they have to do so. They don't trust him when he's out of their sight.
