I know, I know, no one other than the two of us can make the decision on when and how to close the distance, but I'm curious on how those of you that have closed the distance (or have plans to) managed to come to that decision?
Of course, I've always thought about it and struggled with it in the hopes that he would move here, but he's a stubborn, stubborn man and refuses to move to my home state.
Dealing with the distance since our last visit has been harder than with previous visits. I've had a lot happening - my maternal grandmother passed away a few weeks ago. Work has been not as satisfying to me as it once was. My paternal grandfather has Alzheimers and he is getting progressively worse; they've started in home hospice care for him. And well, it just makes me question why I am still here and why I am not moving to be with him because life's too damn short to stop me from being happy. I have other factors which keep me here, but I'm sure everyone has reasons why they could have stayed too (or why their SO's could have stayed where they were).
So I'm just curious as to how you made the decision to jump in and go for it? Was there something that pushed you over the edge? Did you always want to leave?
