I have noticed here that apparently the vast majority
of couples with partners from both countries, Sweden
and the US, decide eventually to move to Sweden. The
American partner must make all the adjustments,
uprooting him or herself and saying goodbye to
everything that he or she has known and grown up with,
while the lucky Swedish partner gets to stay in his
or her country and call all the shots. What is this
strange power that the Swedes seem to have over the Americans. Each country has its advantages and disadvantages when it comes to living, so it cannot be the country or the lifestyle that is the deciding factor. It's the Swedish partner. Does anyone know why? Is it much harder for Swedes to leave Sweden permanently, or is it the nationalism and "Swedo-centricism" of Swedes that drives them to remain in Sweden?
