My foreign girlfriend wants us to settle down in her country.

It doesn’t really sound as though your ‘relationship’ is going anywhere, does it zachary?

To change her mind, you would have to become more important to her than the place she was born in, just as she would have to beome more important to you~ than the place ^you were born in for you to agree to move to her country. Sounds to me as though neither of you are ready for that level of committment.

Apart from anything else it depends to which country. Thailand for instance has strict rules about foreigners working or owning property - basically they can only own 49% - the 51% must be owned by a Thai. They can only work doing a job a Thai person cannot do - ie teach English or similar. Other countries could have similar rules.
You may also find that your partner needs visas which require renewing at a high cost if you remain in Britain.

The reverse is much more usual, Asian girls want to move to the west, I am guessing she is from a comfortable middle class family which means a lot to her.
Loneliness and homesickness is very common with foreign brides and it is not easy for many to adjust to western culture. Even if she could be persuaded to live in the UK the regulations are very strict on any migrants, even from Australia and NZ.
Wishing her well and finding another girlfriend seems to be the most realistic option

Some marriages are not to be, no matter how much in love the couple are. I think this is one of them.

Why should you go hunting for methods to persuade her to stay in your country when you have completely ruled out going to hers?

The ultimate question for me personally if I'd considered settling down with someone from another country was that if we had children and split up would there be a danger of them being taken to live in another country?

I'm female.

If you can’t be persuaded, what makes you think your girlfriend will be?

It’s such a huge difference of opinion that I don’t think you will sort it out so that you are both happy and will remain happy.

It might be time to call it a day.

Doesn’t sound as if there’s any love involved If either of you loved the other, you’d live anywhere sooner than be apart

Why date a girl friend from thousands of miles away if you know you want to stay put in your own area what a selfish bloke no thoughts that the other person may not want to stay in your neck of the wood Find a girlfriend from your village/town and you ll have no problems (unless she has a travel gene) ?

I detect a few inconsistencies here, long term girlfriend but is thinking of settling down? I think long term means they have settled down.
Has always insisted that we live in her country? Then why is she still here?
Reconsidering having a foreign bride! Really? Foreign? if you love a person you surely stop considering them as foreign.
You want to stay where you are at...........
I expect I will be slapped on the wrist for this, but as the OP hasn’t come back, I suspect that someone is just bored and has made up this scenario.

I agree bestwishes so no slap down from me I suspect a little wind up here along with another ‘ Male poster’ on another thread

Always the same at this time of year. Easy to spot isn’t it?

It’s getting easier old meg but I’m not quite there yet! It still takes me a while to suss it out

I don't think this is a genuine post - there seem to be a few of them lately

Exams are over, time to make pests of themselves.

Exams only just starting here GCSEs and A levels.

Exam leave.

A lot of them are finished here, and there are always those who don't use their "study leave" for revision.

Exactly!
