brah when did I ever say I was moving to Qatar? I wanted you to have my back since you are married to a beautiful Filipina girl..
Just messing around.

I told my wife about this thread and she is reading it now. Curious about her take on it.

In all seriousness. I DEF think you should meet her before moving to the Philippines. But hey, it could be an awesome adventure to just say fuck it and go.

What kind of great jobs are there for women in Qatar?.....sounds fishy to me....and someone is going to really miss growing and smoking weed.
The comment I was responding to said

"Never relocate for anyone you will always regret it "
Had nothing to do with culture issues just that if you relocate you will regret always
Which isn't true of course lol
Yes, I probably jumped the gun a bit. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I would say that they are definitely in the minority. How many relationships of any kind survive? Complicate that with selling everything you own, leaving your friends and family, and moving to a 3rd world country to start a life with someone you barely know. I just think a lot of due diligence is in order, and I think that you were really fortunate, and hey I'm thrilled that you're happy! Hopefully he will end up the same way.

if you read my original opinion on the subject youd see i gave some pretty solid advice.
and i dont think its wise to just hop up and move
heres what i wrote originally

As someone who maintained a long distance relationship via a different country

Slow your roll hold your horses wait a second


Meet her first


What beautiful communications and everything you have via FaceTime skype text etc I'm sure your feelings are obvious
But all that can change when you meet in person
The connection may not be here physically or you may just not jive well regardless of how much you do via communication

Be realistic about this I know new beginnings so exciting
But seriously stop take a breathe and go a step at a time

If you dunno about work yet you haven't really looked into it
Start your researching into legal issues , work visas etc

And as an immigrant myself do it legally
Don't illegally work or go under the table
Just Don't !

It is not ever worth it for me to be deported torn away from my marriage and husband and possibly my child for the sake of some under the table money

Never ever worth it
While the worst of it for me is deportation because the USA is a developed country under developed countries deal with issues like that differently
The last thing you want is you being held in some shit prison in a under developed country bring tortured and beaten confused and scared held in in humane conditions while amnesty international tries to get you out
and my opinion stands on it. however that being said, plenty of people do have long distance relationships that work out and eventually get married etc being from different countries and all
so to say that people always regret relocating is yes jumping the gun but its also not outlandish either theres lots of couples like myself and my husband

I like that you can admit you might have jumped the gun. Shows a little about your character.
It's rare, very rare that they can survive, especially when you mix in growing.
