  • No doubt about it I would go! If the job takes him elsewhere it would have to pay him enough to take me or he probley would not go.
  • If I had the option I would absolutely go. It's only for a year, so it's not like you would never see friends and family again, and it would be an AMAZING experience. Also, since it would be with your partner, you would get to have these experiences with someone you love. I know I wouldn't think twice about it!
  • To right i would he would be lost without me lol.
  • I think it depends. If my wife said she was going to hawaii for a year, yeah I would go with her. If she said Alaska, I would stay home and maybe visit a few times
  • I would have my bags packed in no time! yes I would go!
  • Knowing my partner, we would have discussed it first and then we would do what was best for us. But yes, I would go if he felt it was the best decision for the family after going through all the pros and cons.
  • In my case, my income is the primary income for our family. So, I could not leave my job for twelve months. I would, however, encourage my spouse to pursue the travel if that's what she wants to do. We could make arrangements to get together here or there as often as possible.
  • You bet! I'd be excited.
  • I am currently without Husband as he is out of town for 5 months he just left 3 weeks ago, and we have 3 children in school so it wouldn't be really feasable so I think we would learn to live seperate a bit longer than we are normally use too and make some congecal visits inbetween either me flying there or he here.
  • If you can, go. What an experience. Your mum will want you to go, and so will your kids. If there is any sort of serious situation, you can always fly back to sort it out. But I don't think there will be. Have a great time. BTW where are you going?
  • I would absolutly go. My father went to China for business for 7 months, and my mother went with him. They had a great time, and are now considering going back!
  • G'day Denise, Thank you for your question. It depends on my commitments especially regarding my job. If I had a good job which I would lose if I left, I probably wouldn't go. If I had caring responsibilities, I would look at how I could meet them in the next 12 weeks. If I had relatively few ties, I would go. It would be a great adventure. Regards
  • yes i love my jango.mango and i would follow him anywhere, you can always come back!!
  • No i wouldn't go - I'd just say yep, c ya later babe :)
  • without question
  • Absolutely yes.
  • Absolutely yes. It would be perhaps a one-time-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a part or parts of the world that you may not have had a chance to see otherwise. I know several people that have done this and now they are extremely comfortable in that nomadic lifestyle provided they can return "home" when needed because it is not cost or time prohibitive anymore.
  • Nope. And I doubt she would go either. It's different when you are married with children. You cannot simply leave a family for 12 months. The financial strain would be intollerable with both living expenses and it would not bode well for a marriage. Absence makes the heart grow fonder... yes if the absence isn't measured in months! 12 month Absence makes the heart grow forgetful and wanting... and has led to more problems in marriages than benefit. Soldiers overseas, mates living in other states for extended times or other countries. I've had a co-worker whose husband lived in another country and they saw each other a few times a year... she found he had a whole other family over there! Love is like a plant, I've said this before, if you leave a plant for 12 months, it doesn't grow bigger... it dwindles and dies. Love needs the contact and communication that only being there in person can provide and has a hard time enduring long spans apart... spans as long as a year, that is. She would probably quit and find another job.
  • Are you kidding? At the drop of a hat.
  • If he was my husband. Yes if not and I had a job I would not go. I don't think you should go unless your in a marriage.
  • Hells yes!
  • If it is a very dedicated relationship, and we have been together for quite some time, yes. There would be no doubt about it! But if we were only together for like 6 months, then no I think I would be staying home! I would not give up on him, I would try to make a long distance relationship work. :o)
