Moving out of state after getting married

I will be leaving New York City to go live with my FH in Virginia.

Wow what a relief I’m glad I’m not alone! Would you mind if I asked a few questions? How long have you guys been together? Do either one of you have family in Virginia, and if so, is it your family or his? Does all your guys’ family live near New York City? What made you guys decide to move? Around what age will you both be when you move? How are you handling all of this??? for me, we will have been together for EXACTLY 7 years on our wedding day Nov 2 2019 (so in a year from now). Where we are moving, none of our family lives there. All of our friends and family lives where we currently live. We are moving because we financially can’t afford to live here. When we move I’ll be just shy of turning 24 (but I will be 24 at our wedding) and my FH will be 23 and a half. I’m just a tad older lol! I’m not handling this well, but I know it’s for the best. Just trying to cope...

View Quoted Comment Sorry I thought I replied to you directly but my reply is above this comment ^

I moved with my fiancé from NC to CO after we got engaged. I really like it here but it can be hard to meet new ppl

We have a history of 32 years we dated from 1994 to 1999 we was engaged to be married but the time wasn't right I had to do alot of growing on my part, also there were other circumstances. It will be 9 years that we are back togther in January. His daughter lives in Virginia I have family in Virginia but I don't know them. Honestly more family on both sides live in NYC. I will be 9 days short of my 50 birthday and he will be 53. It will be an adjustment for me. It will be a change of lifestyle for me.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for responding. Did you guys have any family that lived in CO? Or was it just the two of you? And what made you guys decide to move?

View Quoted Comment It is okay I don't mind!!

View Quoted Comment Wow that is so beautiful! It must be fate that brought you guys back together! ❤️ thank you for sharing!

Some times you have to go left and make mistakes( love) to finally get it right. I thank God for my FH he is definitely my other half and he makes me a better person.

View Quoted Comment Wow 32 years. So glad things worked out for you two!! Congratulations.

View Quoted Comment Aww that is very sweet! I agree sometimes you do need to make mistakes in love to finally get it right. So glad you found your other half! Congratulations on your engagement!

View Quoted Comment No family, he just always had this dream to live near the mountains and he got out of the army this year and wanted to move there. He is going to school for computer programming and I am a teacher. I only went bc we were engaged. I wasn’t going to leave my family, friends, and career as a girlfriend. Now we are engaged and it’s still hard but I just remember that I am choosing my new family and my new future, and I do really like it out here.

View Quoted Comment That is such a beautiful way to describe it. Don’t judge me but me and my FH moved out of state together only for a short time it’s a long story but I was just the girlfriend lol. But I loved how you described it! Thank you for sharing

Thank you our first dance is by Case "Happily ever After "

View Quoted Comment Omg girl I am not judging. I’m 28 and I’ve been through a lot with him and with other guys in the past and I just had to have my limits.

We are planning to move from MI to TX 6mos post wedding..w/ a poodle & a bullmastiff lol hoping we aren’t biting off more than we can chew. It’s hard leaving home, but just try to look at it as a fresh start for you & FH!

We moved from Illinois to Utah last December and then got engaged in July so not right before the wedding but a little over a year before we're having the wedding. Now our wedding is a destination wedding for everyone but ourselves as we've decided to have it here in Utah instead of in either of our hometowns.

We moved not too long ago to Washington from Texas to be closer to his family. We're having our wedding back in Dallas though because that's where the majority of our friends are and it's closer for my family. Planning wise, it's been ok so far. Life wise, big adjustments, but I don't regret the decision at all. FH's parent's passed before we met and I'm happy that we can be near his sister and her family.
