Would you relocate without a proposal?
If you were barely at the year mark of a new relationship, would you relocate to another city if they asked you to go with them? Allison is facing this exact situation. She did not hesitate to say yes and was excited at the idea of moving to a new city with her new man. It wasn’t until she started hearing opinions of friends and family that she second guessed her decision.
She says she is unhappy at her job, loves her new guy, and is not worried about moving with him without a marriage proposal. She has heard all the common reactions “why buy the cow” or “playing house” but it only makes her more confused. Should she require a ring in order to move with him? Does the fact that he asked her to go with him show commitment to their relationship?
Is it wrong to rearrange your life or consider the person you are dating when making a major life change?
Have you ever relocated for love? Did you regret it? Do you think we generally don’t take risks like this when it comes to love?

Mmmmm…I’m not big on wings (mainly the buffalo ones), but I may like ranch wings…Yum! Good thing your appetite is back! Now…you just need to get someone to bring the food to you, huh?

Hey Kimmie – thanks for the compliment. I do try to keep it positive.
Bluzgirl my comment that I think of you as a younger me was all good.
You read like someone who goes against how society says a woman should act, much like myself. My thinking is not of the typical woman who wants the husband, 2.5 kids and the white picket fence. I always wanted to do what and who I wanted and live my life as fully as possible. I think that society dictates that something is wrong with a woman who thinks this way. Why does a woman have to be labeled a ho or a jumpoff because she wants to get hers. Why can’t we as women sow our wild oats like men do before we decide we want to settle down.
From reading this blog, I am starting to realize, it is the perception of how people view me. I’ve never really thought about how people viewed me because I was just living my life.
I always wanted someone special in my life, but I think I make it too easy by not letting them work to get me. I do to a certain extent, but I’m always giving men the benefit of the doubt.
I’ve been reading this blog I think 3-4 years and the comments of the confident women have really made me do a lot of soul searching. I think all of them have had misadventures(just like myself) and have made them better women for it. When the women were giving Bluzgirl advice I thought about some of my actions pertaining to men(in my younger days). I’m glad you took their advice and realized you are special and deserve to be treated as such.
I’m still a work in progress but it’s all good.
