I'm not sure what I'm looking for... maybe some stories or tips?
My Bf and I have been together for about a year. We talk constantly about me moving and we're just waiting for the right time. We want to save up some money and get a head start before we start working out the logistics. I own my own business here and I have some properties… so I’ll need time to either list one of them or to hire a property management company to rent them out for me. But other than that, things have been going really good in my LDR. It’s nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel and plan towards it. Even though I have days where I’m super anxious just to be with him all the time, I know that we’re doing it the right way.
Anyway that was just a bit of where we’re at right now. Because my family knows I will be moving in the next year or so, they wanted to do one last family vacation. I will be the first out of my siblings to get married so they wanted to have one more trip just the 5 of us (my parents and the 3 kids). My parents have always been very welcoming to my boyfriend and my dad and my boyfriend email back and forth every week. Like many LDR, we only have so much time off we can take from work and that has always been a challenge for those in LDR. So I didn’t expect him to commit to our one-week holiday since we try and bulk all our time off to spend together during Christmas and New Years. I was also concerned that if I committed this many days that it would affect how many times I’d be able to see him from now until the end of the year.
Anyway, I mentioned it to him and he said he would try. A few days later, he told me that he could come and that he’s super excited. I know he’s the one for me and that I’m very blessed we both get along well with each other’s family… but I think I just feel very lucky. I’ve never been in a relationship where someone genuinely enjoys hanging out with my family (especially without me having to repeatedly ask “just once, can we please do xyz with them”). My last relationship (local) my ex didn’t really care to get to know my family and I was always hanging around with his only. It’s just really nice to have someone, despite the distance, be completely committed.
Anyone bring his or her SO on a family trip before? I feel like this is exactly what a great relationship should feel like. I am happy that I will commit the rest of my life to someone like him.
