In what circumstances would you go for this? Have you done this.....because you had no other choice? What happened once you got to your new city?

As of December 2005, Monterey County ranked among America's ten most expensive counties with Santa Barbara County topping the list with a median home price of $753,790. In Monterey County, the median home price was $699,900. In the northern, more densely populated part in the county, the median home price was even higher, at $712,500, making it the fourth most expensive housing market in California. The disparity between the median household income of roughly $48,305 and the median home price of $700k has been cause for recent concern over excluding potential home buyers from the market.
I moved to be with my husband before we were married. I had to leave my college and everything, but he could not move to be where I was because of his job. It was a small move, about two and half hours away. But I did get very homesick because I loved where I lived before. That was almost ten years ago and I STILL miss that place.
I would never make a move based on an SO or boyfriend.
Now, my fiancee would have a much better chance, but still that date better be set, for me to leave friends, family, career network behind.
My husband? I will be where he will be.
Think about it like the military does: they won't pay for a soldier's love to move around with him unless it's his wife, and even then she can't always come along.
I have seen/heard of many women that did this, only to have their hearts broken in a strange place. Not to mention, I don't like what it says to the man: That your life, career, friends and family are expandable just so you can continue to be with him.
This happened to a friend of mine. She was on the East Coast, he was in Atlanta. She wanted to move down there anyway, and as soon as she got there, he just up and disappeared on her. Didn't break up with her, just stopped answering the phone and stuff.
The crazy part is that he would run into her at events in the city.
I moved from Baltimore to Denmark to be with my husband. ´We had a long distance relationship, and got married before I moved. It was a big move for me, but I'd do it again.
So moving out there was her own doing?......did they discuss it as a couple? I don't understand why he would disappear on her if it was a well-thought out and well-planned mutual decision.
Wow... Denmark?
How did you guys meet? Did you have to learn a new language? Were you both Americans? How did all of that happen? I am very curious.
I'd move, definately.
I love to travel and I can basically pick up and start over where ever.
I have friends that I've known since I was like 6... and I have one friend in particular who's lived everywhere from Ecuador to Holland to Malaysia to Namibia... and we've kept in touch and visited all throughout that.
I think that... no matter WHERE you move to... you can stay just as close to your friends and family if you put forth the effort. It might not be physical closeness... but I have a couple of friends who I've became CLOSER with since our relationships are more email and telephone based. A girl I went to high school with and hung out with all the time...I learned more about her since she moved to Germany than I did when I was seeing her/hanging out with her every weekend.
I am contemplating a move (eventually...might be some years) due to a guy I've met and kept in contact with. I'm stepping out of my current relationship one step at a time...and I know it will be some time until I'm ready for another commitment

Would I do it again? Yes ma'am. For my DH, I would even move to the north pole if he had an assignment with Santa.

Well......bump! .....just in case someone else has another story to share
But with you, I get a whole different feel about your comfort level with moving. At the bolded, it seems like you would move anyway just because you like to travel, it's fun (seems to me, anyway). So if you moved, would it really be to get with the guy, or is the guy the extra added benefit?
We actually met online at ICQ. We started off chatting about travel (of all things.) and became good friends, then it went from there and we talked every day. He's Danish and had never even thought about visiting America until he met me. Instead of me visiting Egypt like I was planning, I visited Denmark about 8 months after we first started chatting, then he visited the U.S. about 7 months later and we got married. After I settled everything at home with work, packing up and selling off stuff, I moved to Denmark. My friends thought I'd lost my mind..but I'm glad I did. I did have to learn a new language. I just finished an 18 month course of Danish that's required by law for all immigrants.
