Last October I ended a year long, long distance relationship because of the logistics of distance. I have spent the last 9 months (trying to) dating other guys in nyc and it sucks because I know what it COULD feel like. Recently saw my ex again and I’ve been bursting with joy ever since. Is the pursuit of ‘love’ worth changing my life and relocating for?

Yes - I think so.
Might depend what all you’re sacrificing though.

Hmm.. I’d personally go back to long distance for a few years, but it sounds like you weren’t a fan.
I say that because what I didn’t know, is that long term relationships evolve quite a bit over time (in my experience). Year 4 was super formative in my own relationship.

Some long, honest conversations will be needed. Best wishes for you.

I think it depends on what is tying you to NYC. I live in a progressive city in a very conservative state. Have for most of my life. If you’re renting or own and could rent out - why not give it a go? You could always move back. I made a move in my 20s to a less progressive city to be with someone - it ended after two years as we realized the distance is what made us so passionate with each other. But I didn’t regret it because I made some of my very best friends for life by doing so.

Oh and then after a couple of years I moved back to my city and my career took off. So that was also a plus.

Do you go see your parents when they are getting surgery?
I've never been afraid of surgery before and my dad's had a bunch (from military). He lives a few states away but I usually get to see him quite often. He's only in his 40s and my mom is with him. The surgery he's about to have is considered high risk. I'm not worried or anything, but it's it customary to go see them when they're having a major surgery? He'll be in-patient for at least a week. Sounds I go after and help my mom? WWYD?

In a LT relationship that checks all the boxes, and my SO makes an obvious effort to make sure I feel appreciated. Problem is every time I try to do something special for them, I'm met with unenthusiastic comments or "you didn't have to do that". They don't make much effort to join my family events, and when there was a stressful event in their family they asked me to stay home and watch the pet while they went to visit. I was the only SO not there, and while they made it clear i wasn't at fault
