Good news?

Ok, this is like a follow up to my previous post. Recent boyfriend, whom I have a lot in common with asked me to move overseas with him.

(Flashback - I came over to Hong Kong with my ex and then we broke up after coming to Hong Kong - too many "distractions").


Now a few years down the track, my recent boyfriend is asking me to move to a different country with him. This is something I used to dream about, to have a boyfriend who would be willing to try new things out and go to new and interesting places with.

And yet something seems to be holding me back. Should I go with him? We have yet to find a job which we both don't think we would have any problems with, due to our profession.

I am really happy as I seem to have found the one, but somehow something is holding me back. Should I give it a try, Im still young (20s) and I think I can still try new places out. Please give me some advise........

We plan to leave for a year and then to travel and work in other places.

tig, you sound happy in your new relationship, and there seems to be a real future possible with your new man - good for you :-)


the only thing i would suggest is that you both lock in your new jobs before you move to another country.


love is grand and all that, but you will put undue strain on the relationship if you are both jobless for an indeterminate amount of time. i dont care how easy it is in your industry to get a new job - never take employment for granted.


also, as you say it's a new relationship, and there is something holding you back. if things don't work out between the two of you, at least you will have arrived in a new country, job in hand, and your world won't have fallen completely apart. it never hurts to be smart about things.


best of luck! let us know what you decide :-)

tig! my advice is just go!! and enjoy and think of the great experience you two will be having!!

I am doing the same thing soon to be with my bf

Thank you both for the advice, I think I would really consider it. I guess I just wanted some support to my decision and I wanted to see if there would be any negative responses as to why I shouldn't go.

voiceofreason: you are right, I was going to find a job first - maybe score a phone interview and then make the move.
