Job offer overseas - Hard choice for personal reasons-Your thoughts?

I'm a 47 yr old single woman in a serious relationship with a great guy.I have 2 grandkids (another on the way), 2 daughters and all my other family living within 10 miles.The problem is I have been offered a "dream job" overseas for 3 yrs that would include lots of travel, am guaranteed my current job back when I return,all housing expenses pd for,extra $ for cost of living, &be in a beautiful area of the world to work & live in.The problem is leaving my partner & my family.I've felt something was missing that I needed to do for a long time & even though I have more than most in my life,I feel real antsy and seem to keep constantly looking for something.If I went, it would be my first time alone.By going I'm not sure I would lose more than I would gain or if it would make me stronger & be something good.My boyfriend can't go now & he has asked me to stay & build a life here but also encourages me to go because it sounds good if I need to.Is having something great worth risking?

  1. You got to go for it Woman. If you dont, you will always wonder and blame others for putting you off. If you have a stable relationship it will work. If you dont have one, then whats holding you back?
