Absolutely. I should have been living in the US now but family ties held me back. I regret not going and if I had the chance again would definitely go. You only get one life! I wish I had been able to follow my own advice back then! |

I did, moved from Kent to Essex for Ads, my kids are all teenagers now and they live with their dad (two of my three are autistic and when we split after him being a stay at home dad for years, rountine wise etc was best for them to stay there), he’s move I ever made, bought me closer to my kids believe it or not (not so much now as my two eldest are off in various parts of the U.K. etc living their life) but made me as a person so much happier.

Hmmm I nearly did once, to Guam, the whole other side of the world. But things went sour a week or so before I was due to move.
Looking back i’m 100% glad I didn’t go. There’s so much I’ve achieved in the time since then, that just wouldn’t have been possible in another location.
So, even though a relationship might be great I’ve realised that they can sometimes lead to you making some (potentially) dumb decisions. I wouldn’t relocate for love. I’d relocate for my career or my personal development. |

"No. My ex needs to see his daughter regularly and she needs to see him. Relocating would not be an option for me. "
Well maybe county, that wouldn't be too far  |

I'm within 3 miles of my brother and sister and their young kids, my parents, stepkids and most importantly, my 97 year old nanna. Nothing could be more important than that right now so no. |

Yes I would but the location would need to be considered. I had a job offer to move to Amsterdam (which is different to love of course) but it would have made it very difficult for my daughter to see her dad.
So I’d move (I can do my job remotely most of the time) as long as I could travel to work occasionally and it was possible for my daughter to still realistically get to her dad every other weekend (so probably max 3 hours - hes already 2 hours drive away).
What I would hope though is that the person I loved moved to me therein saving me having to do the moving.

I love my work, it brings great satisfaction. And I live in a beautiful house in unspoiled countryside. My family are a short drive away. So, she would have to be a very special woman, living in a beautiful place... And then I'd move. |

It's not just children that can tie you to your current location. I'm a full time, live in carer for my mum so moving anywhere for love or any other reason is out of the question. I couldn't just leave her to fend for herself and there is nobody else who is willing or able to take my place.
As much as I would like a proper relationship it's not something that's possible in the current situation. I can't give enough time to someone for a relationship and if things were to develop we wouldn't be able to take the next step of cohabitation. |

I did! Granted it was just across the Pennines but the War of the Roses is still strong up here. I’m practically a traitor back home.
Absolutely...love is something that is too rare to remain stuck in one place for. |

In principle yes, but in practise I can't go too far, because I have to look after a family member who has increasing care needs. So I need to be able to get back at short notice. But I don't see myself living my days out in this part of the world. I need more sunshine. |

I left my country, home, friends and family at the age of 18 to live with my husband. I had never even had a holiday with him or a holiday without my parents. We had only been together 9 months. It hasn't been plain sailing, the first 8 years were the hardest, due to being homesick. That was 15 years ago, finally got settled and consider this my home  |

It takes more than love to build a relationship successfully. You'd need to consider other things like work opportunity, environment, family and so forth. however, sometimes a new environment brings new exciting opportunities.

"Possibly, if she was worth it and it was the only way to make it work I would make the move "
South Wales is a wonderful place to live... or even commute to regularly  |

Yes! I have been here ten years and had to hide for most of them.
All ends ran short last year and I was forced with a (legitimate) request to remain and they granted it.
End of.... I risked all to be with my wife... details if you ask... and I got it.
Yes |

I’ve lived abroad before and looking at moving again overseas now my daughter is old enough to not let it disrupt her life.
Won’t be for love but because I get itchy feet and I prefer the less stressful ways of life you get elsewhere. |

It has recently become top of my list of places to travel to for some reason
I might even chop some wood on a snowed in night |
