We met at a kinky BDSM campout and spent a few days together. Depending on time of year he lived 600 to 1600 miles away from my location. We had fun and laughs together, nothing serious. Over the next few months we emailed, talked on phone a lot, and got to know each other better. He then came to visit with me for a few weeks in his motor home. During that time he met my family and I met the part of his family who lived in my state. I also got to try out motor home living to see if I could do it long term. He then left. We kept in touch daily. A few months later I was able to make arrangements to take a long leave of absence from my job to go spend a couple months with him. If things had not worked out I would have still had a job and a place to live. I flew to his location. We got along even better than we'd hoped. As a result I never went back to work. I would never have even tried to make a go with him if I had not been able to provide myself with a safe net in case it did not work out. Being able to have the leave of absence and keep my home was a big plus for my peace of mind. If the submissive coming to you does not have that safety net then it's probably your responsibility to make sure she/he has one in case things do not work out as planned. I believe meeting families and having a friendly relationship with the families is also important. For example, when I had surgery this year Gary talked to my family to let them know what was happening. When he had a medical crisis just a month later it was my turn to talk to his family and make sure they were informed about his condition. Finances must also be discussed. The submissive will most likely need to find employment in the new area, unless she/he has some other income. With the economy being as it is, finding a new job may not be very easy. You will be responsible for providing for the submissive until there is a job, including medical expenses that may come up. Are you financially able to provide that? If the submissive is to not work, are you able to provide medical insurance for the long term AND a retirement program of some sort? Good luck. Relocation CAN work if it's carefully considered. It can also be a disaster for both sides when important issues are not decided in advance.
