I am planning on moving to be closer to my long distance boyfriend this Fall. It will be the best thing for our relationship to be in the same city, but at the same time, I am sad to think of leaving my family in the northeast. Has anyone else had a similar (hopefully happily ending!) experience?
Ok...I need some answers for clarity's sake:
Are you moving because this relationship is guaranteed to end in marriage or because you believe strongly it is headed in that direction? If so, has he discussed when he wants to get married?
Melissa,
I'm so happy for you! One of my close friends recently had a (somewhat) similar decision to make. She spent a year teaching overseas and met her now fiance there. He was working in a neighbouring country. Based upon a few meetings, and much prayer and counsel, they began courting. Within six months of coming back to North America, he met her family and she met his (they live several hundreds of miles apart). They were engaged over Christmas, and she moved down there about two months ago. They will be married in August up here. She said that there have been some things that have come up since living in the same town (she is living with his grandmother) that have been challenging to work through, but it is positive to work through this before marriage. As they aren't married yet, I can't speak to the "happy ending," but the process has been very positive, so far. Hopefully that is encouraging to you! I'll keep you in my prayers.
Blessings, SarahJane
Thanks, Sarah Jane. That is a great story to hear. I'm sure there will be new things that we'll discover about each other when we live in closer proximity.
