The City You Won't Move To
Your partner is offered the thing they've been working toward for years. It's in a city where you know nobody, your work doesn't transfer, and your parents are eight hours further away. They say they won't take it unless you're happy about it. They mean it, and that's the problem.
Do you tell them to take it, and is that a lie?
Then ask
- What would you need in exchange to say yes without resenting it?
- Has anyone ever moved for you? What did it cost them?
- If they took it and you stayed, how long before that becomes the end?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
