    With or Without?

    Would you relocate for true love without having a job when you got there or leaving the job you have?

    #2
    When we finally close the distance, most likely I won't have a job when I move to him. He'll be supporting us both for the most part. So yes, I would move without having a job there which I most likely will be doing, but only if my SO could support both of us.

      I'd try to do what I could to get a job. I wouldn't mind leaving a job I have, but I'd want to make sure I have some stability before I take the leap. Of course, since I'd be moving to another country, I don't know how easy that would be.

      (Also, side note Leigh, your avi reminds me of a lighthouse I stayed at in Wales. So pretty.)

        Absolutely. I would do everything I could to get a job as soon as I could, but temporarily not having one is what savings are for.

          I'll be just out of high school when I close the distance so my SO plans to support us both while I try my hardest to find a job.

          Actually I'm really worried about this because shortly before I close the distance my SO plans to open his own restaurant with a friend of his which means both of them will be taking out huge loans and if it doesn't work out he'll be in major debt and me being just out of high school with hardly any work experience can't handle supporting the both of us on my own. :/

            if I was going to relocate I would have to have a job lines up there first.

              When we'll close the distance( as far as our plans go), I'll just have finished college. So I won't have a job. And since I'd like to move to his country, I won't have a job at first. He'll support us both for a while.

                I'd do that if I had enough money saved up. That way I could move somewhere else, wouldn't have to worry about money at first and could look for a job.

                  Well.. i will loose my job for sure.. but i believe i could find a new job there. If not, i will "create" one. My SO also prefer if i work, not stay at home kind of wife. So yah... i'll move to him and get a job there... i like being independent, at least i had money to pay ice cream that i want hahaha.... so.. it will be without the job.

                    would relocate and find job there...would give up my job for him thats how much he means to me..
                    but then, u have to start again from the bottom when you find another job, but thats okay as long as you have
                    each other and he is there with you..

                      Well...when I moved here I was struggling so hard with my work so I was glad to leave my job. I did secure a place at the university here before I moved, I don't think I would have come here solely for my boyfriend. I will be looking for a job once I have my student visa and stuff sorted out. Right now, I'm living off my savings. I'm glad he forced me to save so much money while I was working.

                        I just did that. I have a visa and moved to my SO three weeks ago. I just got my national insurance number which means I can start working so I will be looking for a job soon. I saved enough while I was home that I am not really worried if I go a couple months without a job as I am still able to contribute to rent and such.

                          I plan to leave my job here and find a job when I get over there. I absolutely adore my job, but it's not really in my career field, and I've barely been getting enough hours. So as soon as I have enough of a buffer saved up so that I can go a few months without a job in Edinburgh, I'll move over.

                            With job absolutely. Without job only if we're married, as there's legally no other way for me to get residence - either marriage or work/school visa. I'm not very ambitious professionally, but I absolutely want to be able to support myself financially, and contribute to our household.
