Same here pmorrow - I'd like to have someone to share my life with. I did have someone a while ago and if he had lived anywhere in the states i'd have been there but the whole moving to a different country - neither of us seemed able to make that move.
If it was someone I could truly trust and I loved whole heartly.yes id give it all up,its just stuff.
my son would still love me and I would always be with him and visit a lot and him visit me my family loves me I know and would only want me happy.would they caution me yes thats a given but id hope that after meeting my mr right thier arms would open knowing how great he was and how good he was to me.

Well, I tell my kids what's going on in my life, but they don't have any say in my decision-making process. I'm an adult, and have paid my dues to make my own choices...even if some of them are mistakes.
I couldn't move at this point in my career (6 years to full retirement, 8 years to full retirement with paid medical) but what I COULD do and hoped to do was meet someone to spend some (or all if the sparks are right) of my 14 weeks of vacation every year...taking the time to build those memories, get to know one another, etc. Then if he was retired or self-employed and could make a lengthy visit or two of his each year.....great.
Hasn't happened yet. May never happen, but I am open to the possibility.
Sounds simple to me.. I never had kids (thank goodness for small favors!) my job? Easy to take with me, sell the house? anything is possible.
why make life more difficult than it really is?
If the right man came along.....you better believe I'd sell everything own and move if that was what was needed.....Life is short....none of us have that much time left...If I was in love and knew that he loved me and there was lots of trust....yes.....I'd go.
I am in the same boat as honeybee........for reasons of practicality, I can't relocate right now. But, if the right person came along, there is always an airplane when funds and time off allowed ! This would take lots of committment and understanding from the other party but good things take energy and work sometimes........
They'd say...."Mother, are you really sure you want to do this?"
Maybe....
Quitting job wouldn't be necessary....
Yes....
I am retired-so no job to quit. Rent my home, because that's my choice-so no house to sell. My son is in the Army-so he's not around often (right now he is in Washington State, home fom me is NC). My parents are thinking about moving closer to my youngest brother in TN. So, yes, for the right man, I would pack up-or sell most everything-and move. But, I would have to know he is who I want to spend the rest of my life with. My son's first question would be, mom are you happy with him? Then he would tell the guy to make sure he was good to me, or have an angry son to deal with. Yep, my son is very protective. Life is too short to let love pass you by.
I've done it before... would do it all in a heartbeat... it's what life is for... living.. anyone who was willing to pack up w/kids and move across the ocean into the sands of the mideast could face anything, don't ya think???
however, there would be a caveat... there would be the ability to rewind the tape, so to speak, if it didn't work out... so there you have it... that ol' rewinding the tape!
pm - seems like there is not much resistance on the ladies's side about relocating. I'd like to hear if the men would be willing to relocate to live the rest of his life with the love of his life...?
SO GUYS COME OUT OF HIDING!
