I've been thinking about this for a while, based on the series Outlander.
What if you accidentally ended up in the 18th century... At first you don't know yet how you can get back, nor if you actually can. So you have no choice but to stay there. You find a place to stay, work, whatever... The biggest thing in this story is: you fall in love with someone there. This is THE love that you've been looking for, hoping for, maybe not even expected it to come anymore. And there he/she is! The love of your life! You are incredibly happy with them, and so are they. But living there, in that time, comes with many disadvantages: no antiobiotics, doctors, medication, surgery. No electricity, running water, no flushing toilets and showers. No internet, tv, radio, or mobile phone. For the ladies... no proper bras (for the ladies), having to wear a long dress / skirt ALL the time, no hair conditioner (ouch), no sanitary napkins/tampons. If you're still at the age of wanting a child: no vaccination, disposable diapers and so on and so forth. In the meantime you've also figured out how to get back to the now. But that'd mean not being with the love of your life anymore as they can NOT travel with you to the now. I invite you to really think about this. What would you do? Stay or go? |

I guess that shouldn’t be a problem at all

Hopefully, if that ever happens, i won't be affixed to my
current location. |

I would stay and change history.

Stay, no question about it. Sure our life expectancy would not be long and when his teeth fall out one by one, I would probably make a lovechain/necklace out of them, or regret it...  . |

I don't want to ruin it for others, so I won't say anything, but that happens to me all the time.

Sure our life expectancy would not be long and when his teeth fall out one by one, I would probably make a lovechain/necklace out of them, or regret it... . oh gosh, teeth, yes! Thinking about the 6 cavities I had filled this year... 3 root canals in 2 years... and no dentist available there other than pulling a tooth... I'd be quite toothless I think, hahaha. My first inclination is also to say 'yes, stay!' but in the long run I'm not sure I could. I had to contemplate a similar thing when deciding to either stay with the Aboriginals when I was 20 or go back home. I went back home... In case of the love of my life I think I would stay, but the thought of certain things would scare me, like no dentist, no antibiotics etc etc. And women's position in society being quite chitty... |

The 1700's can't have been a picnic.
Even true love needs some time and I do not think you had much back then. I am outta there. |

I would stay and change history. It would be interesting to see if you'd succeed in that. Like in the series, they're trying to avert the Battle of Culloden, failed abysmally. I think I'd try to not change history, but not sure if you'd succeed in that either. |

And have to redo a few more centuries all over again to get to reach the age of aquarius... hell no! Haha!
It would be difficult though when it comes to leaving the one I love. I'd want to at least make a soul agreement with him to return to each other in the present or near future. Either way, I'd return to my present life. |

I would be back like a shot and continue my quest for a companion in this time

It would depend on how long I had to make my mind up
 I would think it would get a bit tedious after a while. And they had some funny ideas in the 18 century. I'd come back...... probably. |

I would not stay. I did think about it, and there are too many adjustments I'd have to make. I'd do that all for love? No.
