In the end, if she loves him, she should go with him.

No, I was saying that the UK in general, particular London , as its not a million miles away from Cambridge, is great for shopping.

Ok. I have to admit that the comments have taken an unexpected turn towards feminism and equality. But thats not what most of us, myself included were implying.

If it were the other way round I would say to the guy…. go dude, follow her across the sea. Gender roles have little to do with it.

At the end of the day, what we are discussing are relationships. Good or bad! Its that feeling of being in love, of literally in this case, following a loved one to the corners of the world. And although this comment sounds as though I’ve been watching too much of “Notting Hill”/ “Love Actually” … let me assure you I’ve yet to see it.

But what is so wrong with love huh? Yeah its painful at times and it hurts, but its also got its ups. You only begin to notice the good times and miss them most when you sit in a lonely house wondering if your stubborn principles or your career are really going to keep you warm in the middle of the night.

I would love to be one half of a couple who have grown old together. You know who I mean, the ones that have the been married through it all and have survived to see the grandchildren. In this day and age its a rare thing and if it means you have to work hard for love and move continents for him/her then so be it.

I’d probably take a temporary leave of absence, go to England, look for work there while testing the waters with Mr. Right, and see what happens.

Life is about adventure. Opportunity knocks, but it doesn’t come though the door until you open it.

Of course I think a position at Cambridge is quite an opportunity and it would be tough to turn down, and I wouldn’t expect him (or anyone else) to do so. I’m just thinking in general male-female relationship terms as opposed to this specific case because I obviously don’t know anything about their scoop outside of your brief description. That’s all. Been reading too much feminist theory recently, and apparently I’ve become hyper-sensitive!
