I might be moving to LA with my partner but don’t have any friends or anyone I know there, so I’m a bit terrified I will feel lonely outside of my relationship. For anyone who has been in my shoes, how did you make friends? 🥲

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed.
