~I once moved over a thousand miles for someone. I gave up my oppurtunity to go to Tulane University (In New Orleans) etc... The only regret I had was I really wanted to go to Tulane. I do not have any children so that wasn't in the cards, but since you do..I would just think strongly about your situation...and get as much advice as you can. Have a nice week ahead...

I hardly even know a lot of my family on my mom's side. I live in Alabama (USA) and most of them live in Malaysia, she came to go to college. And I hardly see any of the relatives on my dad's side...too many arguements. I think you could still talk with them, internet, mail, etc...Every christmas my moms side of the family comes over from a bunch of different states across the east US and stays at least a week. Maybe you could do that? But if I were you, if you found you're true love, then I would go for him. BTW, have you ever considered him moving in with you? I hope this helps. ^_^ Good luck. -FireNymph |

Well If you REALLY love this person and want to be with him then I think you should go. Your daughter is only 5 so it wont be as hard on her to move away from friends. And hopefuly you can visit ur family, and they can visit you good luck -Sunshine |

I don't think you are being selfish, maybe she does really understand. I would move if I were you.. If you believe that he is the one, then you can have your own family. There are always times where your family could go there and visit you. |

she's at the age where i think she might realise that this movie would really make you happy and that you really want to move, she's still at an age where she can easily make new friends.. just make sure the move is in the summer..(no during school year) that will only cause distress on her |

oh yeah, he HATES where i live and wouldn't be happy here. he said that he "would" move for me, but it would only be for me, and i won't ask him to do that... i'm moving for other reasons besides JUST him... |

it's a tough decision really tough....do you see a future with him as in marriage? have you talked about it? if you have I say go for it. your daughter may take it hard at first but from what I've seen little kids are always into those kinds of adventures.....I too am in a distance engagement now....and will have to move once we wed...and ya know I'm not hesitant at all actually....love him with all my heart...home is where he is... |

yes, we have talked about getting married.. we talk about it all the time and would eventually like to do that. the ONLY reason i feel hesitant is cuz of my daughter. i don't wanna be doing the "selfish," thing, ya know? |
