What's the craziest thing you've ever done for love?

[littlemisscomper]

My brother is leaving his freshly purchased new build house, selling his much loved baby sports car and moving to Sri Lanka to be with his girlfriend. He's getting a job transfer to the office over there - with a 50% pay cut! They've previously spent a total of 4 weeks together...

What's the wildest thing you've ever done for a love interest?

After knowing a man for 48 hours I went to stay with him in Australia for a week and we then had a long distance relationship - it lasted 2 years. I totally adored him.

Mine sounds a bit 'safe' in comparison but I gave away 2 tickets to a def leppard concert to go on a first date 😖

As Julia Roberts said to the snotty shop assistant "Mistake. Big mistake. Huge"

Not me but a friend made a round trip from the U.K. to Singapore to spend a few hours with someone —who turned out to be a bad egg—

I moved to the other side of the world to be with my now dh (though after we’d known each other a bit longer than 4 weeks at that point).

This doesn't AT ALL like a bit of lazy journalism.

I gave up my nice, comfortable boring affluent middle class acceptable heterosexual marriage ...

A woman

Bloody best thing I ever did ... never been happier

NotTheFord, are you accusing me of being a lazy journalist?! Sorry to disappoint but I'm just an out-of-work nanny, with no connections to the media whatsoever.

I met and married my wife of 25 years within 4 weeks. It just felt right, so we got on with it.

After 4 weeks he's going to pack it all in? Wow.

Can’t you have a quiet word with him? There’s no logic to his decision?
If someone was going to do all that for me, I wouldn’t be seeing it as a love gesture, I’d be thinking how much pressure there’d be on the relationship & how what I’d done for you, will be thrown up at every argument.
I think your OP summed it up. Crazy!

Wow OP, fools rush in and all that malarky...

4 weeks is too soon to be jacking in your old life. I'd want to be more secure in the relationship before I gave up my house and life in the UK.

I went to Hong Kong for a weekend (from London) as a “fuck you” to my then boyfriend.

Moved to Poland in the 1980s for above boyfriend.

Dumped above boyfriend after four years for his best friend and got engaged after a few weeks and married in a year. It’s our 25th wedding anniversary this year. Ex BF was usher at our wedding and we’re still in touch.

I watched this on Tuesday night....

off topic I know.....

I am not sure I can add anything too wild to the thread.....

TheNaze, we've all tried! To be fair, although they've only spent 4 weeks in each other's company, they met over a year ago. The first 2 weeks was after they worked together when he went over for a business trip November 2016. They've been Skyping ever since, and he went back for 2 weeks this January. They've been talking about marriage since those first 2 weeks, and now planning a wedding for November. I still think it's a crazy big step. But then I've never been in love so I wouldn't know!

Pretty woman is awesome! The shopping scenes are the best!

Little, in the clips at the end of Valentines Day, JR is in the car, drives past the shop, someone asks if she had been there, she says the same line

I could write a book on this. I've name changed as so cringey.

By furious networking (think selling your soul + Oscars for obsequiousness) got a spot as a speaker at conference in South America that ( at the time) I was punching well above my weight to speak at - purely because there was a theoretical chance he would be there and I wanted to impress him.

It was a major achievement but the crazy thing was I didn't do it or embark on that process for any other reason than love. I'm embarrassed about it.

I also feel slightly soiled that I know this but no one else does - and for a long time afterwards whenever this fact was mentioned, everyone was very impressed.

And although speakers accommodation/food etc was paid for, the flights weren't and I couldn't really afford that at the time.

And he turned out to have a good claim to be a likely sociopath.

Moved 500 miles and left abusive ExH to move in with a man I'd been talking to for 4 months and had only known in person for 2 weeks. He drove to get me and we both knew we were being a bit crazy. I wanted and needed to get out, and I'd never met anyone I'd felt so wild about in my life. I didn't know what way was up or whether we'd be able to make it last.

DS2 is due any day now. We've been together 6 years, each better than the last. So glad I made a crazy decision to be with my incredible DH instead of staying in that house trying to make it work with my ExH, a man who kept experiencing psychotic delusions (actual psychosis, recurring, not just saying "oh he was a crazy man"), and becoming abusive when they would occur.

Also moved country to be with a man I’d probably spent about 8 weeks with total (and more on skype/work messenger)

We are now married, very much in love and expecting our second baby :)

He can always come back if it doesn’t work. Sometimes it’s worth taking a punt, if your eyes are open and you know what you’re getting in to. Good luck to him.

Currently planning a second date with a man I've met 4 or 5 times over an 18 month period. Long weekend in Budapest.
Wouldn't say it's love or all that crazy compared to leaving your whole life behind but it was decided on a whim and now we're doing it. We've probably spent about 12 hours together plus messages and a couple of phone calls.
