any of you guys moved with your SO from a place where both of you had your own friends and did a lot of couples stuff to a place where it was just you and your SO and niether of you knows anybody. If so how was the adjustment, did one on one dinners start getting weird b/c your running out of things to say? or did it bring you closer together.

I'll hang up and listen.

We made new friends and we didn't run out of things to say because we're social and can easily make the other laugh.

Made friends pretty easily, but we both are active people. The gym, running, parents of our daughter's friends, etc,

That's just a strange premise. My wife and I could be perfectly content just talking with each other on our own.

My wife and I moved from her home town/where I went to college to Chattanooga. We both didn't really have friends here. We made new friends.

It was really rough for my wife because she never really lived beyond a few miles from her parents. She needed to do it though, she grew up a lot not having them within walking distance.

Big factor is I went from an extremely stressful job to one I enjoy, so our relationship got a lot better.

I believe that not feeling awkward or weird during period of silence when it is just you and your SO is a true sign of a confident and secure relationship

I'll tell you right now that I can spend every minute with my significant other sand never get tired or bored with it. I notice that we are both alike and both get tired and aggravated with other people but when it comes to one another we always enjoy hanging out..... So to answer your question, no it wouldn't ever get weird. I think we could move off to a foreign country where we don't speak the language and not have any friends and me and her would do just fine.


Sorry you have a boring GF

My wife and I, gf at the time, moved from BR after LSU to Silicon Valley. We didn't know anyone. It was crazy but fun. It made us partners for sure. I can't imagine not having spent that time with her, while we were both young and trying to figure out post college life. Getting away from everyone made the transition more thoughtful and surreal. You really get to know someone, and yourself, when you leave your whole support system.

Well there you go. 2 years and under you are still in a honeymoon stage. You are still on your best behavior for each other.


7 years in, you are not. You can enjoy each other's company and not have to fill every second with conversation.
