Would you be willing to relocate if your husband/wife got a job in another country?

Question

Depends on the country and the pay. If she just took a job in Germany or something that paid dogshit and expected me to drag our family through it, and apply for jobs when a visa would be tough as hell, no, fuck no.

If on the other hand it's a job in a country with a much much cheaper cost of living, and she's getting paid about the same amount as now, then after selling our house, and a couple years, we'd be able to retire while sending the kids to a Montessori school there.

I think the same calculus would go through her head if I'm taking a job in my wheelhouse in another country. We've talked about as much before, though it's unlikely that she would want to leave the state, much less the country.

It depends. For me as the man I am the provider in my relationship. So if I was also able to transfer to another city job wise or found a job making as much or more as I make now I’d consider it. I say consider cause a number of other factors may play a role. Do we have kids currently in school whose friends are all here? Is all our family here? Etc. I think too her knowing me for 15 years, being together for 14, she’d know me enough to know if I’d be interested in entertaining that idea.

Depends. We both have to like the area or the pay just has to be THAT good.

If it was my promotion/relocation and it was a country I wasn’t fond of, or didn’t see myself living in, adjusting to/for, then I wouldn’t plan to go there, and I wouldn’t plan to force that upon my partner.

I’d hope they’d be the same way for me, but we’d just have to discuss it. If it was a country they really liked, we could try visiting on a small vacation or so. Honestly I just don’t think so. Moving for other people (job) seems a bit irrational. If he and I already do live in the same place, and got used to living there, I don’t see why we’d just decide to learn of another place and dwell there.

Rei13 · Answer

Both my partner and I work from home so not a big deal. Already changed cities for my partner so that he could be closer to his family.

Pinay_ako · Answer

If it’s an opportunity of a lifetime, yes! I believe in taking risks and embracing change.

Bottom line would be where would this other country be?

If it's going to be a country where there are loads of restrictions on what I could do and where I could go, where there was civil unrest, war, extreme poverty and poor educational and work opportunities, then no.

Also, how easy would it be for me to learn the language and to physically get around? Would it be simple for my children to get good educations? And lastly, how long would we be there?

I value my home and where I live. All my relatives are here. I wouldn't want to permanently relocate unless those other factors were strong. If it were only for a short time, say two or three years. Maybe.

Also, would I be allowed to practice my religion? What sorts of recreational opportunities are there? Are there gyms where I can work out? Are there good doctors and medical facilities?

There's a lot to weigh according to where you are in life, what you need to live well, and what you enjoy doing.

Hell no are you kidding me?
I once went against my parents and went to a college on the opposite site of the state I’m from for a girl I was in a relationship with and I had no car at the time and I didn’t know anyone in that area other than her and she didn’t even attend that school she was finishing up her final year of high school anyway after a The first few weeks of college I find out that she’s been cheating on me the whole time and I decide to break up because I refuse to accept that for the 4th time I was cheated on. Then I was stranded in an area unfamiliar to me with no family around. Sure I made some friends but they didn’t stick around.

Sameone · Answer

First thing
is when i get married aim going to not let my wife work i will cover all her bills ( housewife)

Second thing
if she want really want to work i will help her or support her to open her own business better than working whit some company or still waiting her salary every 30 day

Shiningtempest · Answer

@tinat I wouldn't be willing to relocate because I value familiarity & predictability. A woman who wants to live in another country wouldn't mesh well with my goals. Thus, I am willing to initiate a break up without any hesitation even if she loves me.

TomBham · Answer

Depends on country,

my career opportunities,

how hard to move there,

official language of that country

and how much difference for her will it make to move there, because it might be not enough pay increase and no career growth opportunities, for her.

And many more questions

KrakenAttackin · Answer

A man following a woman is almost guaranteed to kill the relationship. She will quickly lose respect for him.
