Many parents hope that their children can live with them when they are old , so do my parents, they wish that i can marry a man who live in my hometown , so i can back home regularly and they can come to see me as long as they missed me. as a result , i always try to find a boyfriend not far from my hometown. but ,things can't always be what we want it to be , i meet a boy , really a nice boy, but he live in other province , and now we work in different city , so i don't know whether i should go on this relationship or not.

YES. If God permits. I have a boyfriend now and he lives more than 12 hours away from my hometown but we work together which is 2 hours away from my home. I think it doesn't matter as long as you both love each other. Anyways, you can visit your both parents every now and then. In my case, I don't like to leave my mom because she lives alone in our house. Unlike with my boyfriend's, his parents have so much grandchildren with them and neighbor relatives. I am the only child so that's the way it will be.

In my case, I did. My parents don't approved it first because of the dist. If possible, I also want a town mate so that I won't be far from my parents but no one can predict our future. Also if you are in love with someone and that someone loves you back, I think no one can stop their marriage regardless of the distance.

Thanks, in fact we both are. There may be little misunderstanding between us but we both settle the issue before the day ends. If you are in love with the guy and he with you, then follow your heart. If you both are destined to be partners then you can make arrangements to visit your parents too even you are far from them.

If it is me, I would marry someone far from my hometown if the person is an ideal person to live with for the rest of my life. Even if you marry to a person from other province, you can still visit your parents during holidays. However, if you think it is too hard for you, you can always ask your partner to move closer to your family. So it is not really a problem to me.

I would marry anyone regardless on where she lives. What matters is that we love each other. And we have to sacrifice everything because of that. I may consider that but that will not be a deciding factor as to marry her or not. My wife came from a far flung town away from our province though, and we have met in a common place and we visit each others place once a year. Thanks

it is rally hard to meet the right one we love and he love back, so maybe distance is not a problem . once we meet the right person , we should not give up because of the distance.

Hi daisyykm, If you really love the guy and you're sure about him, distance or his hometown should not be a problem. You can always arrange a visiting schedule to see your parents if that is the main concern. I believe, True love comes only once in our lives...goodluck ^_^

well for me its not a problem marrying someone who live faraway from me. because if he really loves me; he will always consider my wishes and he's the one who will do the adjustments. you both need to talk about all the factors you both want. because its hard to lose someone you love for an issue/s that could be fix and talk about.. well i wish you all the best :)

in my case , i just want to start a relationship with one because of the distance though he is really a nice guy, i always want to be with one who lives or works at the same city with me, i don't know whether i am right or not .

May be you shouldn't get involve with him, since he stay so far away from your home town and you can not go back home often to visit your aging parent, it is better for you to have a love relationship with a man that live close to your home town where you can get close to him every day, at the same time close to your parent too. I am sure there are many nice boys and men live in the city where you work, he is not the only 'nice' boy left alive in the whole city. It is time to let it go and put your aging parent wishes on top of a boy friend, you only have one parent in your entire life, but there are many boy out there for you to meet, it is the best decision you ever make if you are willing to take up my advice to stop it right away.

you should go on the relationship^^ if you love him you should. if things go well between you and him later on you can live together and be near your parents^^ dont let a good guy go just because you want to be near your parents. if he really loves you im sure he wont mind that you both live in your hometown. cause he will do what he can to makes you happy.

That depends on the two of you. you can make the relationship work if the both of you will work together. My partner is living in a city that is 3 hours far from my place and we've been together for 4 years now. I visit him in his place sometimes and he visits me here as well. It is just a matter of making time and exert effort to make it work despite the distance.

What you say is really a problem. I know you are from China, and so am I. I think I should ask you how far are you away from the city where your boyfriend live in. Just like if your hometown is Guangdong, and your boyfriend work in Jilin, then I should say you should leave from him. But if your hometown is Jiangsu, and your boyfriend work in Zhejiang, then I should say the distance can never be a problem. Now I'm facing a same problem like yours. I figure that the key point is that you need a proper distance. In the future, you will have your own car. In my opinion, if you can spend less than three hours in driving from the city to your home, it is proper. Anyway, the decision depend on yourself.

that is what i am thinking about , appropriate distance is the key to the matter. so sometimes i told to myself , i should not have the idea of being with one who is far from the city i live in the beginning .

I think marrying someone away from us is not a big deal. If you love someone whatever he far away from you is not a matter of hindrances. Even if that person live in the space of any other planet but you love him the most and want that person to be your in the entire of your life. Love makes no boundaries or distant away..

distance may can't stop the marriage of two who love each other . i think i will value the one who really loves me.

Many of us love to live nearby to family. It is so much convenient and economical. Many Malaysians tend to buy their houses in the same neighborhood to their parents so that they can visit each other often. Sometimes they do not cook but went to their parent's house to eat too. However, life is not always predictable. Therefore, we can always make some arrangement to make it works. We should appreciate love and the right person for us. Later he can asked for transfer in his job to your province. In this way, you can always be with your family. At the same time both of you should also planned to visit his family on festive occasion and make this relationship works. His family can also come and visit you too and spend time together. Take turns for festival visit too. Many families in Malaysia celebrate their festive holiday visiting their family alternate years. This year celebrate at the wife family hometown. Next year the man hometown. Of course, if both of you from the same hometown, it will be the best option!

If we are sure to work in the same city in the future , i think i can accept . this kind of matter is so complex , i want to let it go , i believe we can go on if we have the fate.

As they would say, "love conquers all", so the distance shouldn't hinder you to go on with the relationship so long as you keep the love with each other. If you intend to be near your parents while you're married, then you can bring them along to the new place where you wanted to live. I intend to do so with my mom when I get married. Still, I would recommend that you get to know the man/boy that you've recently met, and if things work out with you two, then it would be great for you to try it out and go on with the love story that you might sweetestly share. God bless!

Well if I really love the person, distance will not be a problem. My mom and dad are from different places.My dad is from the city while my mom where from province.They met in the province of my mom and eventually got married.We stayed in my dad's town and do visit my mom's province from time to time.

i have thought about this too , the transportation nowadays is convenient enough for us to travel from one place to another ,if the person is really reliable and can give me enough courage to rely on him, i can think about this matter , as is it not easy to meet one who really cares me and treat me as his main part in life.
