Man sieht wie Deine Augen strahlen, wenn Du über Deinen Mann und seine Schwester sprichst. Sehr süß und alles Liebe und Gute für viiiiele weitere Jahre!!!
The best basic for a realationship is to be true and talk about everything. But you must keep care. We have a saying: etwas tot reden(talking something to dead). It means, that you talk and talk without finding a peace in your heart, a way to live with it or a solution. A true love will find a way...always
Really enjoy your videos Antoinette. I am an expat Aussie from Sydney, Manly and came to Germany in 1985 and still here with my German wife , 2 daughters now gown up and a stunning granddaughter. Best regards and greetings from Olching 25km west of Munich :)
Heart-warming video with so much good advice. I would mention, though, that anyone considering moving should check out the implications of their marital status (single, divorced, married, official cohabitee, unofficial cohabitee) before they go to the other country. Your status will have a big say in your rights and duties in terms of immigration, your health and social insurance, legal obligations to your partner and possibly your partner's family in the event of the relationship/marriage not working out. Of course, it worked beautifully for Antoinette and we all benefit from her sharing her experience. I am not seeking to be a killjoy but we all know, I think, that this will not be everyone's experience... So, lots of checking to be done first. Also, don't forget that from NZ to Germany you will need to gather some official documents before you leave your own country. It may be worth your while getting your birth cert. translated by an official translator, as well as your - hopefully - clean police record. (Again - not trying to take the shine off anyone's love adventure but, hey... a little note of caution, all the same. )
I have moved to Australia for love many years ago but our relationship didn't work out well. We have 2 children together. Just a word of warning for the one wearing pink coloured glasses, you might not be moving back to your homeland if your partner decides that you're not allowed to take the kids. And I don't like to be a killjoy either but it pays to weigh up the pros and cons. Btw I like your videos, Antoinette. Feeling more homesick than ever. 💗
@@yvonneschilling687 Sorry to hear about your experience, Yvonne. Your rights and obligations are brought into very sharp focus when you start to consider what happens when a relationship breaks down. Thanks for your comment.
I do the same thing, I will jump into an adventure but always have a return ticket in case something goes wrong, and yes, sometimes had to use it, sometimes the dream castle did not get to be built, and then there was my old life waiting for me. So it is so fun to listen to you describe the same Plan B idea. I am happy it worked out so well for you.
New Zealand and Australia make immigration very difficult for Europeans but it does seem to be much easier in the other direction... I've sampled New Zealand - the South Island and although friendly I would choose Germany any day. Love the food, beer, scenery, history, architecture, technology, work ethic etc in Germany . New Zealand (the South anyway) seemed very, very old fashioned and lacked so much - great for a holiday and I had some super treks. On the other hand having to learn German and break the ice with Germans would be a hard challenge. Then again I haven't had any unpleasant German experiences. Having a relationship and struggling with the changes can bring stress. I moved from the UK to France - less distance but I can align with you on hard moments.
Antoinette I think you are at least close to being an expert about the topic. I didn’t move for the love of a person. Rather I moved for I loved the German language for I started learning it in school. I have been here for 11 months now. And when I watch your videos, you make me look forward to what could happen in the further! I really do enjoy you! Thank you!
To me you are a heroe, not only u left NZ for love,you gave the world two children, and u came to a country and looked behind this us disneyworld point of view. Your german is just great. I do thank you for beeing an open minded brain God bless you
Thank you so much for this video! My boyfriend's from the US and we don't know yet who will move to the other ones country. This was really helpful, though!
6 years ago I met a guy from nz and we fell in love. He lived in England but moved back to nz after a while. After I finished my studies I went to nz for 6 months and I lived over there with him. I had to go back for some personal reasons and he always wanted me to come back but I didn't end up moving there because I didn't wanted to leave my family and my "easy life" in Germany. I still miss him so much every day it was a very hard decision.
Hi Antoinette, I love watching your videos, they have really helped me get an idea of what to expect from moving to Germany. I'm in such a similar position to you when you met Rob as I met my partner whilst she's traveling Australia and now I'm planning on going back with her to Germany! Your videos are so great and the fill me with such optimism that this is the right thing to do and I'm so excited to go.
Good points of realization! I recently left my jet setting and first love career of being an international Flight Attendant for 12 years 1/2 . A year before i got married right after my fiancé now my husband proposed i was in deep mixed feelings and roller coaster ride of emotions coz i was so torn between leaving a glamorous career that i still love for the love of my life and my future. People who knew that i was going to leave and move to Germany are the ones who would tell me how lucky i am to move to such great country. But that was not my intention or my main goal. And honestly my reaction deep within was exactly like this😐😐😐 coz i know what I’m giving up, and it’s a lot for my part. For me, Europe is kinda boring and old school and it’s only good for holiday and not really a dream place to live although i know, the social system is good but like i said, I married my husband for love and not for a good social system. Don’t get me wrong, i love my husband dearly and am lucky to have been married to a great guy but for an independent woman like me who was used to a driven, fast paced life of taking care of my own self and earning a very decent pay all just for myself was really really tough. I wasn’t used to being dependent on men although i know he’s my husband. I had moments of heightened fear and sometimes i would cry while driving in my home base coz i can picture out how my set up will be in the beginning and everything that i will miss and give up and be Totally dependent in a foreign country with a difficult language. I had moments wherein i would ask God why Germany, why not in the US where my siblings are. But then again, i know i have to take that biggest leap of faith, so i did. Currently, i am living the life of a housewife and adjusting at the same time. There are struggles in adjusting but I’m happy to finally be with him. And btw, i think, one big point as well that a couple should discuss before moving for love, is the financial aspect too, if the person is really willing to take the responsibility of being the bread winner coz i think you can’t just be blinded by love all the time. Luckily I made this very clear with my husband and I’m so lucky that aside from he’s such a responsible man, he was never stingy unlike other Germans i heard from based my colleagues experience and observation.😉
Giving up everything already have in our own country is difficult, jobs, family, friends. Especialy need to count on the other half financialy. Wondering should I keep invest in this relationship??? Hard decision!!!
@@c.chloe3111 if you think your man is worth the sacrifice of your life, if you know he loves you more than you do and willing to compromise too someday for you, give it a try and move for him. I know how hard it is.. trust me. A year has been since i last wrote this comment and i would say, eventhough i still have struggles living here, i would say my husband has been a great partner up to now and adjusting has been a little bit better all because of him.😊
😊Thank you for sharing your advice with me. U are right if this is the love worth fighting for why not give it a Try. Will wait for the pandemic over to meet . My feeling telling me that he is a trusth worthy guy, but still afraid of the unknown. He work in the US now, I am from malaysia. Thank you again for advice. Wishing you well as you embark on this next chapter of life.💛
Just incredible story! My eyes were full of tears when you were telling about your husband's sister... I am impressed by that. I have a younger brother with Down syndrome and I pray for having a kind hearted husband from God, who could simply support, show kindness, understand him... Thanks for sharing your life story, and even if it was a pick of the iceberg, as you said, it was so sincere, from the bottom of your heart and so useful! You gave a really good advice in the end...
Don’t keep score... this is key in relationships because when you plan to be together you become a united team, and you work together for a common goal; love. Brilliant advice! Thank you 🙏🏻
you will keep the score unconciously...not liek you can stop it. When the shit hits the fan, you will start the tally, and you will realize you've kept the score even though you never thought about it
Hallo Antoinette, it is a really good and precious vid of you! So many good, helpful advices, and it is all to be nachvollziehbar :-) Ur so right and it is so nice that u share ur thoughts and feelings with us. We're looking forward to seing more of this 4 sure! Lovely greetings from Jena - Mathias and fam
Thank you for your amazing video :D.. I moved from germany to austria when i was ten and iam living in vienna for 20 years now.. 3 years ago i met a beautifull stunning girl from nothern germany.. She was in vienna to study.. We fell in love and now she wants to move back.. And i want to go with her.. But its difficult for me, cus i adapted so much to the austrian way of life that germany is like a foreign country for me. It scares but exites me at the same time to go back there.. But it also means to leave all my friends and basically whole life behind me.. I know that is not quite like moving half way across the world.. But in the same time it is like moving to a complete other country.. Besides the german language in both countries.. I had a decision to make.. S5ay in vienna and loose the love of my life or l3ave and leave 20 years of my life behind.... We are engaged to be married now...
I also moved to a different country for love 6 years ago. We didn't work out but I still stayed in South Africa. My husband and I now both discuss moving to a different country that's not England if we were ever to move in the future. I'm fortunate that he and most people also speak English as a second language here.
The major bread winner gets their choice of country where the couple lives. I’m a housewife and followed my husband to Germany for his job. We’re both Americans, and will only be here for five years. I have definitely had keeping score arguments. It’s rough giving up my family to follow him. But I chose to do this so we could put our youngest son through college. Still, whining sometimes helps. But it does stress him out. I think it takes a hard time to get used to a new country, but after a while, I know I’ll get used to this new life. So, yes. I moved for love. I love my husband and my kid. I am here for them.
I’m kind of in a similar pickle. The guy I’m talking to would definitely be the breadwinner so it would make sense to go to him, but family is super important to me and it breaks my heart to leave them. We’ve recently ended things for that reason, but I’m still heartbroken. I keep wondering if I should just be patient and hopefully I’ll find someone one day that lives in my home country, or if I should bite the bullet and go to this guy, even if it means moving away from my family and friends forever :( I just needed to vent!
Come on dear Antoinette please make another clip speaking german,....; Not only to prove u can manage this difficult language, and as a german i can say u are awesome...There are a lot of germans living in my country who dont know their mothertouge, you do. I sent this comment with the deepest Respect. You made it
Is it ok that my partner is willing to stay here with me, but i am not willing to move away for her? I feel bad for this, but i know if I move away from my home country, my family and friends, i Will get depressed even though i love her. She came here to study and we met and have been together 1 1/2 year, so she did not only move here to be with me and she was considering staying here anyways before we met. She does not wanna live in her homecountry due to personal reasons. So she has alot more reasons to stay here than i do to move there. Frankly i don't want to. I still love her and i still wanna be with her, but It has to be here, which i know sounds selfish. I have tried living abroad before and it did not Work for me... I am simply too rooted with my family and friends here. Am I being selfish or am I being smart for looking out for myself first? I told her this from the beginning and she Knows how I feel. She is okay with It, but I feel so guilty, cuz i Know I could never do the same for her, even if I wanted to. What do you guys think, I would love some insight Ty
Hello Antionette, I would like to comment to a vlog you have published about half a year ago. I have just happened to watch it today and I think you should be familiar about my thoughts. When I was a German at Basic School from 1960 to 1964 I had two schoolmates from Australia who were living in Germany. They were allowed to leave school two weeks prior to Christmas holidays and to return back in class two weeks after the holidays. The teachers have provided them all information about was has been tought at school during this period so that their parents were able to cover up. I cannot understand that you are able to do the same thing nowadays and stretch your Christmas holidays in order to spend six weeks of summer in New Zealand.
@@AntoinetteEmily I just looked it up online: 55 percent are either Catholics or Protestants and 3,5 percent are Orthodox or belong to another Christian denomination.
omg! as I'm watching your channel i'm texting a guy whos visiting from the phillipines but in the U.S and our chemistry is amaing but we both dont drive :(
How was with you? Paperwork? Could you visit Germany for long time or visa? Could you worked right away? I am interested about paperwork for Australian citizen to live in EU:)
A little practical note here, Lexy. A great place to start is the German Embassy in Canberra. They are the best ones to advise on what you will need - documents, work permits, health insurance, minimum cash amount, pets, children, spouse - they do it all! Check it out: australien.diplo.de/au-en/service/08-certifications/1899666#content_2
The paperwork was pretty complicated in the beginning. I started out on a visitor visa for three months and then went onto a working holiday visa which let me stay in Germany for a year. That was pretty complicated to get in as German immigration was trying to tell me that this visa didn't even exist but that's a whole another story. After I was married I started my residency process which wasn't easy at all. Even though I was married to a German citizen I had to attend a 6-month intensive German language integration course, which let me legally live and work in Germany but it took me years to actually get my residency. Maybe I should make a video about this.
@@AntoinetteEmily Thanks a million, Antoinette, for your comment. I think a video on this side of life would be a great idea. I too have moved around a number of times, first for love and then for work. The requirements of the local and national authorities are always something to be kept in mind. Seeing matters the other way round... my sister moved to NZ (for love, of course!) 35 years ago and got off relatively lightly, with just 3 mornings of videos and briefings in the London High Commission Consular section. Even then, however, having her educational qualifications and other basic certs recognised in NZ was something she checked out before she went. Look before you leap.
every guy wishes they had a submissive girl who follows their lead. The burden falls on the man, and if the man can't lead in this situation, he will take all the blame. If you want to know if moving to a country will work out, focus on the person that doesn't have to move. Are they a natural leader? Are they a strong support pole...cause if they aren't, both of you will fall like a house of cards. The person doing the moving will always be the more dependent in most situations.

Hello Antionette,
I would like to comment to a vlog you have published about half a year ago. I have just happened to watch it today and I think you should be familiar about my thoughts. When I was a German at Basic School from 1960 to 1964 I had two schoolmates from Australia who were living in Germany. They were allowed to leave school two weeks prior to Christmas holidays and to return back in class two weeks after the holidays. The teachers have provided them all information about was has been tought at school during this period so that their parents were able to cover up. I cannot understand that you are able to do the same thing nowadays and stretch your Christmas holidays in order to spend six weeks of summer in New Zealand.
Does Rob have a bachelor brother? Want to matchmake? i know many wonderful Singapore girls. Rob sounds wonderful. Lucky you!
I am a Christian. Will it be difficult for me to live in Germany as a Christian? I know most Germans are Athiest or Muslim
Not at all, there are many Christians in Germany.
@@AntoinetteEmily I just looked it up online: 55 percent are either Catholics or Protestants and 3,5 percent are Orthodox or belong to another Christian denomination.
No, that won't be difficult at all. Germany is basically christian.
Hi Antoinette, would you have moved to any country for love? For example a country where the quality of life is not as good as your home country?
omg! as I'm watching your channel i'm texting a guy whos visiting from the phillipines but in the U.S and our chemistry is amaing but we both dont drive :(

A little practical note here, Lexy. A great place to start is the German Embassy in Canberra. They are the best ones to advise on what you will need - documents, work permits, health insurance, minimum cash amount, pets, children, spouse - they do it all!

The paperwork was pretty complicated in the beginning. I started out on a visitor visa for three months and then went onto a working holiday visa which let me stay in Germany for a year. That was pretty complicated to get in as German immigration was trying to tell me that this visa didn't even exist but that's a whole another story. After I was married I started my residency process which wasn't easy at all. Even though I was married to a German citizen I had to attend a 6-month intensive German language integration course, which let me legally live and work in Germany but it took me years to actually get my residency. Maybe I should make a video about this.
@@AntoinetteEmily Thanks a million, Antoinette, for your comment.
I think a video on this side of life would be a great idea. I too have moved around a number of times, first for love and then for work. The requirements of the local and national authorities are always something to be kept in mind.
Seeing matters the other way round... my sister moved to NZ (for love, of course!) 35 years ago and got off relatively lightly, with just 3 mornings of videos and briefings in the London High Commission Consular section. Even then, however, having her educational qualifications and other basic certs recognised in NZ was something she checked out before she went. Look before you leap.
so you're growing your hair long again
every guy wishes they had a submissive girl who follows their lead. The burden falls on the man, and if the man can't lead in this situation, he will take all the blame. If you want to know if moving to a country will work out, focus on the person that doesn't have to move. Are they a natural leader? Are they a strong support pole...cause if they aren't, both of you will fall like a house of cards. The person doing the moving will always be the more dependent in most situations.
