Hi Grendel, Actually I did marry a foreigner but she lives here and became a citizen here. I learned another language at that. In the other scenario, if I was able to function in her country, have a job and support or help support the family I would. If not I would certainly have to be realistic and not make the move since I could not live off her all my life. My friends and relatives are spread 3000 miles across Canada so long distances have always been a manageable issue for me. Regards, Michael

I might. It would depend on the person, and the country, as well as the part of the country. For example, in Italy, where I do not know the language (and am too old to learn), it would be OK if I was in a college town with a lot of people who speak English. I don't think I could handle it in a Muslim country, or someplace where conditions are primitive. If they don't have modern plumbing and electrical appliances, aren't "westernized" to the extent I am comfortable with, I'd probably not be willing to try it. And if it was a dangerous political situation, I would definitely not be willing to try it.

Abroad means outside the country you were born and lived for many years. I am from Belarus and am living in the USA. So, when I was living in Belarus, USA was abroad for me.
