writes:I'm Scottish and my girl is American. We met five years ago when she studied for three years at the university I am now a graduate from. We've been together for four years and eight months, over a year and bit's of that being long-distance. In my opinion, we have the best relationship I've seen out of all of my mates. They have met her and they fell in love right away! She's heaven! I've also met her family and a friend of hers three years ago when her mum, dad, and her best mate traveled here just to visit. And also a year ago when I traveled to Chicago (my girl's home-city) for two weeks on Holiday.Anyhow, for the last couple of years, I've been thinking constantly about asking her to move here to Scotland to live with me and then to ultimately marry me. I'm a Licensed pilot and she knows and completely understands that she would be at home quite a bit with the children without me there. How do I go about asking her to move in with me? Do you think maybe she's waiting for me to ask? She was an English major in university, so it wouldn't be extremely hard for her to find a suitable job here. How do I bring up the subject, though? Thank you for advices!

reader, anonymous, writes (28 June 2009): I can understand your wanting to be "home" to put down your roots. And you recognize the issue -- that you're going to be away a lot, and she's going to be on her own to raise the kids. If she moves to Scotland with you, she's going to be doing that without her support network, at least initially.
Some women would welcome the challenge -- countless women have done it before her. So there's no reason to not raise the subject. But be prepared for an "are you kidding??" response, too.
Good luck.
