My dp wants me to move from Belfast to a village in Derbyshire where he lives in the same village as most of his family. It’s a nice place and close to lots of little towns nearby but also a good half hour to derby and a good hour to say a large city like Nottingham.

I just don’t know what to do! I like it in Belfast, it’s where I grew up and I’ve travelled a lot work wise before buying a house here. Will I find it isolating in a village? None of my family live in England so I face a big commute to see them. I’m not particularly close to them but overseas feels a long way.

For context, my hesitation in part is because the relationship was a rocky in the last year and this idea has come about as a way to move forward. If I was madly in love I admit I would probably be straight there but then again maybe that’s also a recipe for disaster if you don’t see yourself as a village person.

Hopeful there might be someone out there who has done a similar move!

Thanks everyone. These posts have definitely confirmed to me it might not be the best idea. The poster who said it was odd he had lived in the same place always...I agree in some ways, in other ways I wonder if it’s a good thing as he’s so stable where he is. Not sure. If we had family on the same island it would be different I think.
