Long distance marriages

Re: Long distance marriages

So wait, most of you people who replied is this thread think that let's say one person who is living here in Chicago and is struggling to make his living finds a job in UK.
The job he thinks can help him and his family a lot financially in future but requires him to stay in UK for 2 years should divorce his wife before he leaves? Or don't leave at all and struggle for the rest of his life?

Well, the general consensus here is that they shouldn't get marrid until they are able to be together physically.

Re: Long distance marriages

i don’t agree with that coz i think that the husband should take his family with him where ever he finds a job.

You know as easy it sounds to you, it’s not. You go to somewhere totally new, you don’t know how are you going to live there or what will be your expenses will be. You might end up not saving anything but just move from one culture to other.

Re: Long distance marriages

you’re right…but if he has to stay there for a couple of years then he can go and settle down and then ask his family to come over a few months later. who knows, he might find another job there once his contract is over. i’m saying this mainly to avoid what minah_pa said about the man living in the US away from his family for 15 years and having a girlfriend.

Re: Long distance marriages

What about spouses who travel for work? My friend's husband is gone usually M-F for work...she's a bachlorette in the week...

I think it's tough but you have to do what you have to do...and there are worse things for a marriage to go through..
