30F, thinking about separating from my marriage and looking at cities I could move to. Currently working in ATL and I’d need to come back at least once a month(prefer driving) since I’d still be working/based here. Ideas on affordable yet fun cities? I make 120k right now & I’d prob take the dog with me. TIA! 💚💜

Nashville, Charlotte, savannah ?

I’m from Charlotte. You’ll be bored after a year, move to Nashville. A lot more culture.

Honestly, I'd go for DC or Miami (DC preferably) if your type of fun is the same as mine.

8-10h trip by car, but once a month, doable (I'd take a plane tho)

I live in DC and I’m moving to Atlanta. Rent in Atlanta is definitely the same.

So sorry about your marriage.

I'm sorry to hear about your marriage, but it seems like you're moving forward in a positive way. I agree with the recommendations for Charlotte and DC suburbs /surrounding area. Both have diverse professional scenes and lots of social activities.

Maybe you should do a long weekend in each (or other places you are considering) and see what feels like the best fit for what you are looking for.

Good luck to you and your dog on your move!

Arguments / going in circles? That’s all it takes to break a marriage these days? You must have seen something in this guy to go all the way through. Can both of you not put your ego aside and understand POVs? We do it all the time for not so smart clients who think they know it all.. why not give your SO that treatment considering they are so much more. Or do you also quit your job/ project role because it is just too difficult to deal with certain clients / people?

Anyway to answer your question.. try and go as far away as possible to get a clean break from this guy - Austin, LA, Chicago, Miami. Know lots of people in these towns who are single/separated and having “fun”. I’m sure you can fly once a month from any of these places.

EY2 - OP was giving context on why she’s moving and her situation helps define what she is looking for. I have no idea why you took that as an invitation to criticize her and her choices, if you don’t want to answer the actual question no problem, keep scrolling.

Savannah? Could be a fun place to rent for awhile. Charlotte? Nashville? Beaufort? I’m biased toward Savannah but think Charlotte and Nashville might be more social for a separated 30yr old and her dog.

Chattanooga is probably a better way to go if you want a short drive to Atlanta. Pretty scenery, affordable, and seems like a chill place. I’m in Nashville 32M and hate it. Big city prices and none of the amenities. Any character and charm is getting torn down. I’m moving to Chicago in a few weeks, but lived in Charleston, SC for a number of years and definitely find myself missing it. The well preserved architecture, charm, proximity to beach, and astounding dining options for a smaller city.

That being said, I’m recently single and Charleston would be tough in my 30s.

Asheville or Charlotte would be my votes. Charleston maybe but that’s not as exciting imo
