Do you live where your partner was from?

How many of us now live in the area where our better halves are from?
I would imagine that a lot of people, particularly blokes, now live in their other halves village/town/city. That's been my experience and I'm continually reminded of it by my mum!

My wife and I met at school, so yeah. We live in the same “suburb” of Dundee as my wife did when we first started going out (I lived in the next one along).

We spent 4 years living in the house she lived in between the ages of 15 and 21 because we bought my in-laws house in 2014.

I don't live in the same place but its only 4 miles away

MrRook · Jun 17, 2022

Not anywhere close, we had to move nearly 2,400 miles to find an area that we can afford.

Chippy kindly sets up a poll for me, and I press the wrong voting option!!

I know the problem - I need a beer!

I have changed the poll options to "Allow members to change vote"

Same county, but some 11 miles southwest of where she grew up.

jof · Jun 17, 2022

No, we live somewhere in between.
1 hour drive from where she grew up & 2 hour drive from where I grew up

Goldthirst · Jun 17, 2022

7 houses away!

Braufather · Jun 17, 2022

Absolutely. That why I’m still in Belfast 20 years later.

Met The Wise One in Blighty, where she had spent most of her life. Decided to move to France* and ended up in an adjacent département to where she hails from so I guess the answer is yes.
She speaks better English than wot I do and most of you lot, too, in fact, but her Yorkshire's a bit naff and she struggles with glaswegian and scouse.

*even thought the beer's unmitigated crappe.

We live 10 miles or so from her Mum & Dad, because SWMBO would have trusted no-one else but her Mum to help bringing up the kids.
This could be quite a common situation, I feel.

My wife and I were born a few miles apart, Exeter and Sidmouth, but we didn't meet until we were both living in London, 21 years later.
We now live in Cardiff.

Wife came to study dentistry in Scotland (from NI), met me, and never moved back. So my wife lives (roughly) where I'm from.

Oakleyroyal · Jun 18, 2022

The wife's from Leeds, I’m born and bred in Reading but we live in Oakley, Hampshire!

Wobbly13 · Jun 18, 2022

Met at Uni have since traveled and lived overseas with my job. Now live about a mile and a half from my wife’s parents, my parents are at the other end of the country.

Cheshire Cat · Jun 18, 2022

My wife was born in Lancashire we now live in Cheshire but it’s the same town Warrington.

Clint · Jun 18, 2022

I moved about 5 miles to the house I've been in for 24 years and 10 months...in 2 months its paid for! It's about half a mile away from the mother in law...
