I have moved so much, sometimes for men; the most isolated I have ever felt is with a partner Even more isolated when I’ve stayed with their family…
Even when I lived in English speaking countries- there is so much cultural isolation. It will make you nuts, I am sorry girl-
contrast this to the other post that’s like “i don’t have ANY sympathy for the travelling partner”
I have been a trailing spouse for much of my marriage and i don’t care how cool the country you are moving to is and how supported you may feel in taking that leap, it is always going to be somewhat hard to leave everything behind. people keep saying the same thing about sophie (and rob the knob) saying she has no one to turn to. she might have family on the other end of a facetime video and financial resources to rent that airbnb away from rob’s place, but you still really can’t imagine how ALONE you can feel when you’re in a new place with few friends, new things to figure out, few comforts from home
contrast this to the other post that’s like "i don’t have ANY sympathy for the traveling partner"rite type of chips or whatever can be isolating because you have basically rearranged your whole life. most of the time, when you have a supportive partner, it’s worth it even when its hard. but if you’re partner is contributing to the stress and disphoria by lying or hiding stuff from you? it fucking sucks
