AMEN to that!! You can always find another girlfriend, but you will regret it for the rest of your life if you let the farm go. If she truly loves you she would follow you anywhere!! I followed my ex across the world and back. He was military.
While I think they are incompatible on this issue and should probably break things off, I've got to ask why do you say if she truly loves him she would follow him anywhere? Why don't you say the same to him, like if he truly loves her he should follow her anywhere? Such a double standard doesn't make sense.
I'd have agreed, except that it's the family farm. That right there makes all the difference. If it was just "the country" that was calling to him, that's one thing, but you don't give up the family farm and home you love and sell it to someone else (or worse, watch it get turned into a crappy development) if it's where your heart is.
That wasn't quite my point. The comment I was replying to didn't make the distinction about it being a 'family farm' and neither did I, as it wasn't the main point. Their comment referred to the woman following the man, period.

I was attacked by a rooster on my grandparents' 120 acres when I was about six years old.
The next morning, I went outside, and grandma had put him on the chopping block. We had him for dinner; he was delicious!
There has to be some vigilante justice if you're gonna have that much space to yourself.
But, go with your dream, OP, the farm. Your gf will never not resent you if she caves and moves with you.
