moving for your s/o

[rusty15]

Would you move for your S/O without an engagement ring?

[kteire]

I am in a month We haven't discussed marriage, but we have talked about spending the rest of our lives together!

[JennyRW]

I would do it, but for legal issues I can't (I would need a visa for that... Main time my visa attach me to my university so I can't)

[rusty15]

What made you decide to move before engagement? What do your parents think?

[Sora1101]

I am, the engagement ring means nothing to me, in fact I'd rather live with him first before we got engaged/married the reason why? Marriages are like cars, you need to test drive them before you purchase. I'd hate to be stuck in a marriage with someone and be so put off with their sloppy lifestyle ect. And yes I say stuck because I believe in sticking to wedding vows, until death do us part. Unless you're being abused or something like that.

Oh yeah, I'm in no rush to get married again. That said, I'm not against the idea, and chances are we'll have to get married if we want to close the distance (international couple that we are).

[kteire]

Well, I'm moving before engagement because I don't want to be engaged for long before I get married (like a year at the most!) and I don't want to get married before I'm through school and in a career, so that'll be another few years down the road... But I love my SO and I want to do anything to be with him. He'll also be moving to be with me, and that says a lot to me. I know we're both committed to making this work, so engagement would be exciting, but it's not necessary for me!
My mum is completely on board, but my grandma pretends not to hear me when I mention it lol.

yes i would move without being engaged. Mostly because I know our relationship is strong and is moving forward, that he does want to marry me one day and its leading to that. I don't mind waiting to be his wife, just hate waiting to be with him.

[BoogleBee]

Yes. I want to live with my SO as girlfriends first and then as fiances and then as wives .

[threecheers9980]

Definitely, but unless something happens within the next month and a half, we'll be moving in together after we get married.

[MadMolly]

I don't ever want to get married, so it's all okay!

[Dziubka]

Yes.
Everything kteire said, well almost.
I want to get engaged about a year or a year and a half prior to the wedding, just as long as it takes to properly plan everything. I don't see the points of super long engagements.
Ring or not, I would never move anywhere for my boyfriend, where I wouldn't want to live on my own as well. Maybe it's just me being a mean cow, but I'm pretty sure I'd end up resenting my boyfriend for it, if I didn't really want to live there. If I don't like where I'm living a ring isn't going to change that.

[NaNi]

Of course.

[princessmeg1328]

I've been living with my boyfriend for the past 3 months. I'm going to have to go back to the US (he lives in England) in a month, but I've been here for about as long as I could. I would live with him before we got married if I came back on a fiancee visa.

[milaya]

Well, I'm married now (and haven't moved, yet, because of school)

Being an international couple, we would need a marriage to live together (no fiance visa in Japan) so... it's hard to really answer that question.
But, in theory... yes.
I would probably don't mind moving without an engagement ring ... and long as we we're clear on the whole "we want this relationship to last" kinda of talk. I wouldn't like to move and then he a month later tells me "I'm sorry, but I actually don't think I'm ready for this relationship right now, sorry".
