Hey bees. A random question popped into my head so here you are:
Who was the one in the relationship to re-locate in order to be with one another?
It seems to me that it’s usually the women in a long distance relationship that move from their family to be with their man.
I moved an hour away to be with J. Unfortunately, we are living with his parents at the moment. Our plans to get our own place had to be put on hold because J was laid off. Figures, right? It doesn’t bother me much that I moved. I definitely needed the break from my family (especially my mother) and I think it’ll help bring me and my family closer together. The only con about it is that I had to leave my dog behind until I move into my own place. This absolutely breaks my heart because she’s my baby. 🙁 but I do go “home” on weekends so I can spend time with her.
What about you?

My SO and I were long distance for over 2 years (I lived in Montreal, he lived just north of Toronto). I eventually moved 6 hours away from my hometown to Ontario. He owns a successful business here, so he can’t really up and move somewhere else.

My family is in IN and his family is in GA. We were long distance for a while when my job took me to CA (he was still in GA) but when my job then moved me to TX, he moved to TX too.
So I guess we both re-located but DH was more following my job (he’s a consultant and can live anywhere so his job doesn’t really have a location to re-locate to).

- Wedding: October 2010 - The Atlantic Beach Club
My husband moved to be with me after college. We now moved a couple towns away, but we are still in my home state. We thought about moving to his, but I come from an area with more job opportunities.

I moved in with my Fiance.
I don’t know why, but for whatever reason, I’m always the one travelling around cuz the boys I’ve met already have nice places, and I just lived in a tiny appartment.

He came here. We’re talking about going back west after the wedding, for his work, but nothing is decided yet.

Initially I moved to live with him, but we only had our apartment for 2weeks before we both packed up our bags and moved north together for a career & a bit of adventure.

I moved away from family to be with him. But it was more of a financial reason than anything.
Long term future wise, who knows. *shrugs*

I voted him, because he moved to MI to be with me but after 6 months we both relocated to NYC for his career.. So in a way, both of us..

After college we went to different states for work. I ended up moving to be with him. We bought a house so we will stay here for another 5 years or so. But our parents live about 20 minutes away from each other back in Mass so we will move back there soon enough. We want our future kids to grow up around family.

DH relocated because I couldn’t (due to school). We’re planning on moving somewhere different together in a few years, though.
