Would you move to another state to be with your boyfriend?

Jun 18, 2009 - I love my boyfriend very much & we have been having a long distance relationship for a while. I've had long distance relationships before & don't mind them, but would prefer to be in the same city, if possible. The issue at hand is really somewhat of a small one, but it is a bit troubling, nonetheless: I used to live in Florida (Miami - I like big cities) & my boyfriend lives somewhere there that is a much smaller city, with - I'm discovering, fewer options for me as far as places to buy my groceries, (I'm a vegetarian going vegan) - There is no Trader Joe's, no Whole Foods, there are no little clinics inside any CVS or Walgreens, there are no wellness classes through any local health system there, there are very few options for mind/body things...I know this sounds trivial -I should move because HE is there & his CHILDREN are there & that should be enough. - 17 Comments
