Would you consider moving town, county, country for love?

If I didn't have children, most definately, would be my answer.

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.

Near Marlborough

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.

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.
