Deciding whether to move to a new city to be with your SO can be difficult. Today, we share some advice on the topic.
Know What You Are Getting Into
Before committing to move to a new city to be with your significant other, it‘s important to assess your relationship first. If you think that being in the same city will automatically improve a failing relationship, think again. A new city doesn’t mean a new relationship. Move because you want to, and not because you think your relationship problems will disappear.
Get Everything Out in the Open
If you and your partner have decided that you want the move to happen, you need to be on the same page and discuss things beforehand. It is okay to feel uncertain and have doubts, but you and your partner must talk about your expectations. For example, how will you deal with finances? Knowing how you will split the cost of the move and living expenses will make things easier in your relationship.
Get a Support System
If you are moving to a new city to be with your partner, make sure to have a support system. Things can get tricky when you are in a new city alone. Having a support system will help you feel less lonely and take some stress off your relationship.
Visit the City a Few Times Before the Move
Researching and visiting your new city will help you get more comfortable with the idea of living there. Look for places that will make you feel at home, whether a coffee shop, clothing store, or a great restaurant that can become a favorite. Making great memories in the place you’ll call home is one of the most important parts.
Just Go for It
Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith. There will always be “what ifs,” but sometimes, you need to trust your gut and make a move. Remember: You are in charge of your life and your happiness.
