I have a friend who's dating a Spanish guy for about a year, they currently live in the U.S, but now he wants to move back to Spain and asked her to live with him.
She's still hasn't made up her mind because she really loves him, but she's afraid of leaving everything behind and things don't work out there.
I told her that if she really sees a future with him, she should give it a try.

Would you leave your family and friends for love?

I don't know if I'd leave my friends and family for love, but I would for adventure. The thing about love is that it doesn't always work out. I don't think it's that easy to just move in with someone in another country. She has to have papers, a visa. Has she figured out what she's going to do for work? Can she speak Spanish? I hope that she's prepared.

Yes I would and I actually have done it. I don't know about other people but it has worked out for me just fine. I left my job of eight years and everything else to move in with my back then boyfriend, now husband. I think when the instinct tells us to take a step forward, it is always in our best interest to listen to it.

I have done just that. I lived in Europe, and my future husband lived in the US. I moved to the States and married him. I have no regrets, it was well worth it.

I guess if you do it for the right guy, you'll be all right.

What did her family say? Actually, it is a very tough decision but it depends with the situation. If I truly love the person, then it could be possible to leave all things behind even my family. However, I must discuss it first with them. If I would leave them, then I want them to support me. My life would be great if they would be happy for me.

I see that other people have done it, and it turned out fine, but I just feel like that you can't just drop everything for a man because he loves you. Would he do the same for you? I wouldn't want to be the only person who has to sacrifice in the relationship.

When you love someone, you don't have to leave the people who loves you. I would agree with Hirami. In my opinion, if the guy could sacrifice for our love, then I would be willing to do the same. I would see to it that my family and friends would be happy with my decision. If your friend has doubts, let her think it over. Love can wait. Do you agree?

I would because I am in love. I am about to do this but I am still waiting for my chance. Well, this thread actually changed my mood. LOL. anyways...

as long as I can see my future with him, I would go. I can always visit back my friends and family. There is also the internet to be connected with them always.

This is very true about the Internet - email and especially programs like Skype help to keep in touch. I chat and talk with friends and family in Europe over Skype, it costs nothing, and you don't feel like you are separated.

I just did that actually. Sometimes you just gotta put yourself before others. If moving away with the man you love will make you happy then I say, go for it

If it goes great, I'm happy for you, but make sure this isn't one of those things where a man whisks a woman away in a seemingly romantic gesture, but ends up keeping her away from her friends, family, and freedom. Just try to stay in contact with them.
