Moving away from grown up children with new partner

Goodness me it’s easily do’able, don’t give it a second thought or plan for something that may never happen.
No one needs to be distant with today’s technology, Face time, etc etc very best wishes make the most of it whilst you can ?

I'm the same as lucyinthesky. Enjoy your life, your children are grown, you did a good job now is your time.

Alegria56 I expect your adult children will be more than happy to see you 'settled.' Wherever you go to live. Less for them to worry about ( sorry to be realistic.)
Enjoy your life while you can.

Ah thank you. And fantastic news for you. Wishing you every happiness x

I live in France with my new partner but am only 2 1/2 hours away on Eurostar - I make sure I make plans with my kids to see them most times I am back in UK and it works, somehow!

Go live your own life and have a great time.

Don’t hesitate. An hour or so is not so very far. Not being close in distance often means more definite arrangements to meet whereas living close means a drop in any time that never actually happens.

My daughter lives an hour away. We meet halfway most weeks for coffee. My son lives 10 minutes away and passes me on the way to work. Once a month if I arrange it!

There might be grandchildren, there might not. They might want you to be really involved, they might not. You can’t live your life now on future uncertainties.

Oh and I’m off to live with the lover quite soon!

We live 4 hours' drive from my parents and have a good relationship with them. We live in Canada and my ILs live in the UK. We have a great relationship with them too (with the exception of FIL, but that has nothing to do with the distance).

Growing up, we lived 6 hours' drive from my dad's parents and saw them two or three times a year. We always had a blast visiting them, seeing their farm, baking with Grandma, and taking picnics down to the river. They were always happy to see us and we had a fantastic relationship with them.

Go for it girl ! You can't live your life around your kids and grandkids. If I had the chance, I would ! Sadly, no one's offered to sweep me off my feet ?

Would being an hour or so away really make that much difference. If you don't see much of your children now, then it seems to make good sense to move with your new partner and have an enjoyable life with him.

Not something I have had to think about , my lot visit often and they need a plane and a hire car to get here . I think you might find them making the effort to visit if you entice them with a nice meal or a chance to see another part of the country ? Go for it , they couldn't be more distant from the sound of your post , good luck xxxx
