MY fiance is going overseas soon. we live 1000 miles away. his dad was wondering if i wanted to move down to be closer to them. i live with my mom and my sister, but they don't really get it how big a deal it is for him to be deployed. i spent the summer with his fam, so it's not like they are strangers to me. Any advice?

Depends on who you feel you can depend on to help you deal with your husband's deployment. If your family is a good support group, stay where you are. If not, it might be better to be around his family. Many times in-laws are more supportive than actual relation because they feel what you feel.
Nothing personal, but your family will not miss him as much as you and his family will, so you will have a lot in common with his family in that regard. Just be careful not to let them take over your life. Good luck and God Bless you and your husband!

That is really something only you can decide. I feel for you though. That has to be a rough situation. Who would you feel more comfortable with is what it really boils down to... if you really like your future in laws then move. If you feel that you need to be in a more supportive enviornment and you feel like you are ok to be away from your family then move as long as you can afford it financially. Whichever you decide you need to make the right choice for you.. maybe if you can talk to your fiance and see what he thinks.

I think it's good to move close to your family. They will be there for you incase of emergency. I have at one time felt the need to be away as far as I could from my family because of differences of opinions. But time has a way of letting us all grow past our differences. I've past that stage and You can still stand up for what you believe in and still be a part of your family.

Might be good for all of you. You can be a support team for your fiance, his family and yourself.
