We are moving out of NY to Sanantonio, TX. My husband got a new project in TX. Its been really depressing spending the last 2 months in NY. I just love this city, its never boring here! I have been here for more than 6 yrs now (almost my entire sweet yrs of youth) and am really scared of how its going to be in TX. Anyone know abt sanantonio? Do you think its a rt decision?

I hear you girl... There's NOTHING quite like NYC, that's for sure. I grew up in a big European city, but when I visited NYC I was enthralled by it, it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. If you are in love with it, living anywhere else will be very different. Now, it doesn't mean you will hate it somewhere else, I just think you will always miss NYC. I have never been to San Antonio, but from what I know about TX it is not the place I would ever want to live. Perhaps your move will be only temporary? There's nothing wrong with living in a different town for a while, but it'll be wise to keep the door open to the possibility of returning.

I've lived in So. Cal for over 13 years now, but I still miss many aspects of my native city. The weather is nice here... But that's about it.

Embrace where ever you are! Don't go with the Big City attitude because all people, cultures, locations have something unique to offer. Join and explore! If it is the theater you love - you will be surprised at just how good some local talent can be. Is it the food you will miss? You will find some new flavor in TX for sure. I moved from a lush state to the desert - I was surprised at the sky! I miss the vegetation, but the beauty of the sun rise and set more than makes up for it. Embrace!

I live in a small town close to San Antonio TX, its not so bad here. Im from Colorado... Denver to be exact, I wasnt sure about haveing to live here either but give it a chance and always know that you can go back to NY for visits if it gets too lonely. But the people here arent that bad and there is still plenty to do to keep you busy if that is what you need.
Its hot in the summer and to you our winter is like spring time to you. You may enjoy being able to go down to the gulf coast and checking it out or seeing all the sites that are here to enjoy. This area of texas gets plenty of tourist and those arent just from out of country either.
I have a friend that moved here from NY and she loved it till her family moved back to the north. So give it a try and then worry no more. We are a good city and its a great state to live in....

San Antonio is great. The weather is always nice and toasty. You have Sea World there. There are great restaurants everywhere.
The cost of living is way lower than NY. You can buy a palace there for the price of a loft in NYC. There are huge malls, the highways are well kept. The speed limit is 85!

It will be a shocker to move to TX but then you will get used to it and love it.

Good luck.

PS/ Home is where the heart is.

Would you rather miss your husband than NY?

I moved from NY to FL and I honestly believe LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!! Nothing is like NY but if you take the time to get to know some decent people, get the local papers u can find some really great things to do to keep your interest. Gyms, clubs, arts, even going back to school take time to enjoy it be happy with you because if your not u will not be happy no matter where u are!! Good luck!

I made a similar move four years ago.
I moved to a city I knew I didn't like for my boyfriend of five years at the time.

My only advice is:
Whole-heartedly try your best to enjoy the place you move to.
Chances are if you're supportive of each other, it'll work. Be sure to express to him if you start feeling bored/uncomfortable/whatever in the new city. It is the responsibility of both of you to make the place as bearable as possible for each other.

But if you really really can't grow to love it (I was never able to like Tampa) then be very truthful, open, and vocal about it. Believe me, living in a place you absolutely hate, *does* take a toll on your relationship, and you don't want that to happen. It also takes a toll on yourself.

Best of luck to you both!

well if he got a job then that is always good.. but as for me i HATE San Antonio & I hate Texas... I lived there for 2 yrs to long the people of teaxs say "they are pround" but i think its arrogance and it takes FOREVER to go anywhere in TX.. I sure you might like it since you are from a big city but San Antoino isnt really all that big . Im sorry i didnt mean to burst your bubble but I had to answer Cuz I can never protest to much about TX.... plus you will have to pay like 96.00- 100.00 bucks before they give you your new car plates.... they call it a new resident fee.... crock of s.h.i.t if you ask me...

Go and like start a new life. Moving out of the big city isn't that bad. Since you've been there most of your life it's time for a change. Look at it in a different way and think of it as a positive change. Who knows you might like it better? I heard the weather is nicer. Don't give your husband a hard time about it instead support and love him like you said in your vows. Good luck!

I had to move to a very small town to accomodate my ex's work. I went there with the attitude that I was going to hate it. And you know what? I did. I hated every minute of it and was miserable every day.

I decided that was stupid. I stopped convincing myself that this place was hell on earth, and decided to open my eyes a little. Once I gave it a chance, my whole world opened up. I made friends, got a job, got to know people, joined groups, etc. etc.

Don't go to Texas with the attitude that you're going to hate it and miss New York. You probably will miss NYC, but think of all the new opportunity, the new friends, the new experiences you can have. Go there with an open mind and an open heart.

Also, if you go there hating it already, think of what that's doing to your hubby. How that's making him feel. He's probably excited about his new job, but hating life because you're hating the move. It's a domino affect, and it's not only you that your feelings are affecting.

Talk to him. Open your mind. Do the move. HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!

I Think that you shouldn't care about the city....as long as you love your husband and have him with you. That's all matters. And San Antonio TX is not bad lots to do....but maybe it's not like New york.
Best wishes and good luck
