And here are the reasons why........

I have a child who i don't think its right to uproot.....from everything he knows.....family, friends, school...etc.
I am madly truely deeply in love with a man there, but i have never spent more than a few weeks in his company...we need waaaay more practice....
I have faith in my relationship, but i am realistic..he can't support himself most of the time...how could he support me?
I truely beleive that this kind of a decision takes a lot of time...thought......and preparation.....
If I ever get to the point where I could move there..it would be based on me being able to live independently and that is no small thing to accomplish.......I would do it some day, but not on a whim...and not until everyting right.....and BTW......Not till he marries me!

Have you considered moving there and decided to wait?
If you aren't moving there ......tell me why?

I agree with you on all those things Teach. Question: Is he the only reason you'd move there (in a perfect world)?

See I'd move in a heartbeat and AM next year. But NONE of those factors come into play for me.

Alright alright.....I added a question or two.....sorry not twenty questions and a really cool pic to go with it.....like the threadmaster....but I try...lololol

__________________

No way...would move with out him...hence the being able to be independent thing......but I do love him and if he wants me to move WITH him he has to marry me.

LOL I totally overlooked the questions.

Yes I've been considering it for 5 years and I'm pretty sure all here know why I waited. Now the time is right, the business is in place, etc. I don't need anyone to support me there, nor do I WANT someone to support me.

i am moving... temporarily...

with my other half and his family... we're expecting, i have a year mat leave and i want my family together...

i have two children, yes, it will be a big change for them, but they will be going to prep (private) school, they have been to jamaica and spent a good chunk of a summer in harbour view (kingston), and they are young and resilient, they know a little about what to expect and they will figure out the rest... i expect this will be a good experience for them to open up the world to them and show them just how limited their views of things is... and country living will be a nice change for my city kids

my other half has been overseas working for over a year and we are in a financial position to live a comfortable life during my year off.. keeping most necessities of home... we will contribute equally...

oh, and he has married me...

i'm not sure if anyone thinks i'm crazy?? I think it's everything i think our family needs... a chance to really bond together without the stressors of the real, daily life interferring... and a getaway from Winter once his paper work is processed, we'll be heading back to canada and back to the real world....

am i or will i ever look to make a permanent move to jamaica? heck no... i have no desire to give up my north american life and expectations... i love jamaica but have been in the "real jamaica" enough to know that i'd get too frustrated with slackness and such that dictates life a little too often on the island, and honestly have no real desire to make it my permanent home until as long as i have that little maple leaf on my passport well maybe when i retire or am in a position to winter, but that's not what i consider a permanent move...

i do think my opportunity and situation is somewhat unique and am going to take advantage of it

that's just my rambling thoughts...

props to you...hope it works out how you want it to
