Would ypu REALLY move and leave your old life behind?

Thank you so much, Tanya.

Andy and friends of the Forum,

If you are asking me! Yes I had done it, just like many who embarks on career studies , job relocation or contract work overseas.. I have considered also moving to my fiancée country without hesitation.

I had asked my fiancée back in those early days and she said that it happens even in her native country. So, is normal but only if she trust him. I had mentioned about my future plans on relocating and career changes. I also said to her and to her father that I will provide to her , protect her and profess to anyone my love to her regardless of if the situation. Let me tell you that she didn't falter about our future. She knows that the REAL LIFE isn't perfect and that working together "we" can adapt and overcome.

That kind of woman is rare and definitely a keeper. What I call REAL LOVE...However, if something happens to me or to our relationship, there will be a compromising solution as in everything we do, in good faith.... The bottom line is to make each other happy, and not to think when to escape from Alcatraz.

Minsk looks like 30 years ago.

On the contrary, new building construction on Minsk outskirts, specially by the National Library. Highway improvement, Lots of new BMW's everywhere. Good public transportation...I would trade Santa Barbara for Minsk in a heartbeat!!!

Good luck Dag! Hope you will like it in 5 years too.

Дуг ! Примите мои горячие поздравления ! Я рада , что после продолжительных поисков . Вы обрели свою любовь и свою половинку и согласна с Вами , что это подарок Бога . Вы знаете , природой заложено в женщине реализация себя как женщины для мужчины и матери и каких бы высот не достигла женщина в различных областях деятельности ,она не полноценна и не чувствует полного удовлетворения своей жизнью , если состоялась в любви и материнстве . Поэтому , всё , что мы не делаем в жизни и к чему мы не стремимся , это для любви !

Извиняюсь , писала без очков и допустила несколько ошибок ...правильно - если не состоялась в любви и материнстве . Поэтому всё , что мы делаем в жизни и к чему мы стремимся , это для любви !

She is gorgeous, Dag.  

Thank you, Svetlana. I will miss everyone here, but life moves on. Thanks to all you precious ladies who have made these past several years so very special. When I came here, I was a hurt and lonely man. You ladies have been so wonderful to me and I found much healing in your attention, which I never really deserved, but you were so very good to me. I can never tell you enough. You are all wonderful and special, each in your own way. Be patient and never give ...and never accept second best.    God bless you all!

Могу сказать, что многие, наоборот, хотят в корне изменить свою жизнь - переехать в другой город или страну, сменить профессию или место работы, вид из окна , привычные лицы и прочее. Да, это не без сложностей делается, но вполне осуществимо. Так что, если в Вам предстоит столкнуться с подобным (Ваша половинка на стадии перемен), просто наберитесь терпения  

Hello Andy,

I think in a relationship or marriage majority of women sacrifice more than men (just in my opinion)
Even if they met each other in the same country or city, and she doesn't have to leave her country and family because of him, she still needs to sacrife to make their relationship work.
Here are just a few examples:

1. They have kids and 7 times out of 10, this affects their body and some even their self esteem.

2. In most cases if a man has his job relocated the whole family would move but if it is the woman, they might not necessarily move. She would find another job.

3. When a woman has a baby, as beautiful as that maybe, there is a hold on her career/studies.

4. Cooking / Cleaning the house. I know some men do it but most of the time it is the women.

That's just how we are!  

It sounds like you Have just never met a man that can cook and clean and care for their children. For me...a job decision would be "who makes more money" and not..."I am the man so do as I say."  As far as your body and age changes again I think you have not found the right man. Do you think men don't know these things? I didn't see in your post the sacrifice that men make. We work a lot to provide for a woman's needs....as they may be make-up and other things that men could care less about but still PAY for.  I have heard and read more comments with regards to women doing it all on their own lately. Its because Russia has men that force you to be independent. They leave you for younger women and leave you with kids. A real man would never do that and a real man loves his family,, does laundry and cooks. I thought all men were like this?

Well done Doug.....
