Hello everyone,

Moving to Malaysia without your significant other can be quite difficult, especially since your partner is an undeniable source of support. This kind of move may require some adjustments from both parties in order to make it a successful one.

What is challenging about being in a long distance relationship in Malaysia?

How to maintain an adequate level of communication considering differing schedules and time zones?

How often would you travel to each others location to meet?

How do you manage to still have a social life in Malaysia?

What hurdles need to be considered if you have left behind children who are under the sole care of your partner?

Thanks for sharing your experience,
Bhavna

I dont understand the question. Do you mean moving away from your (wife, husband) and then trying to maintain a normal relationship while apart?

I don't think i would leave behind a wife or children or partner. I would either bring them, or find a location to work where they could come. If I were single then I would find a new partner in the country that I move to.
