So instead...he should give up his fiancee for them? -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 13:02 3
- No. But this is something I think his fiancee has to compromise on, for now. -- nm - jnine Apr 13, 13:04
- to be fair, this isn't as simple as 'the issues will all go away if they move." it's painfully complex. :( -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 13:03 1
  - Maybe. maybe not. Seems to me the wife-to-be wants some sort of token/sign/something that says he's in this for the long haul with her. - Jim Apr 13, 13:05
he doesn't have to say to them that this is the reason. He could say that there are too many painful memories for himself there -- nm - zork Apr 13, 12:58 3

  - I'm not saying that he needs to fool them, but he can tell them that his primary motivator is the history there. -- nm - zork Apr 13, 13:01 1
    - They are going to see right through that. It's important to be honest during a difficult time like this. -- nm - jnine Apr 13, 13:02
I agree with this. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:56
