Does it sound likely she will move back to her old town?

Hey all, this is a shot in the dark but incase anyone has had a similar experience and can give some insight. Someone I know moved to a new town and I am wondering whether it’s looking likely that she will move back. Here is what I know about the context:

-she was in the previous town for a few years doing a PhD at the university there which she completed

  • she has been running a charity in the previous town which is still legally registered as ‘active’ on Google even know her team mates resigned from it, and which is still attached to a physical address in the previous town.
  • She has a lot of friends there in the old town who are missing her.
  • she’s not yet got an official lodging in into the new town- she’s sharing a house with her brother (who I assume already lives there). Sharing a house with him is “proving difficult” according to one of her close friends in the old town when I asked him if she’s planning on moving permanently into the new town
  • Her family are not from either town, but are slightly closer to her new town.

— She has been in the new town for 6 weeks but her Facebook profile is still registered as being in the old town, and neither has she joined any local community groups on Facebook relating to the new town.

I know that this is very limited context- I am wondering whether it looks like she’ll be staying in the new town or moving back? Thanks!

Honestly, you sound like an odd stalker🤨.

It’s actually the other way round hence the question.

This sounds really weird. Are you saying this is your partners ex and you're hoping she's going to stay away?

You really do sound like a stalker!

Who knows what she’ll do. Depends on why she moved really, doesn’t it?
