#relocation

On the surface, our life was great. My husband and I both had thriving businesses. I was an accountant, and he was a home inspector. We had a lot of external things that defined success, like two brand-new cars sitting in the driveway, a beautiful 2,000-square-foot two-story house that we spent a lot of time renovating to be perfect. From the outside, it looked like we had it all together. But the truth is, we weren't really happy.

Former Sinn Féin councillor turned state witness Jonathan Dowdall is due to be released from jail in little over two weeks' time, on October 29, and he and his family will then be relocated overseas as he enters the Witness Security Programme.

Hilarie and Jeffrey initially lived between LA and NYC. However, they both always wanted to live on a farm - a shared dream they discussed on their second date. So, after welcoming Gus, they relocated. Their family has expanded to include animals like alpacas, Highland cows, ducks, chickens, donkeys, and an emu. Hilarie wrote a memoir, The Rural Diaries, about her life on Mischief Farm. They also ended up co-owning the local candy store, Samuel's Sweet Shop, with Paul Rudd and Julie Yaeger.

After living in New York and Berlin, I moved to France four years ago with my French husband. At first, I experienced some culture shock, but my daily habits ended up changing for the better. Living here has made me more organized and intentional when it comes to chores, errands, and meals. As someone who's spent most of her adult life in major cities like New York and Berlin, I never thought I'd be able to live without the conveniences of a fast-paced, populous environment.

Because of work, we had to move about four hours away. Since then, we have felt increasingly isolated. I tried to call weekly, visit often and send gifts for every holiday. About a year in, I realized we were initiating all the contact and tried a little experiment. We stopped calling them. It took more than eight weeks for anyone to contact us. His mother calls his other siblings who live elsewhere every week, but not us.

Buying a home is supposed to be one of life's big milestones - but sometimes, the reality of being a homeowner comes with way more stress, regret, and unexpected challenges than anyone warned you about. So, we want to know: If you recently bought a home and already regret it, what happened? Maybe you moved farther from friends, family, and the places you love than you ever wanted, and now every commute feels like an endless slog.

My husband and I both grew up in the same small town in Southern Illinois. I distinctly remember visiting relatives in the Chicago suburbs and dreaming of when I could live somewhere with so much to see and do. Though I did enjoy my childhood, growing up in the country and spending hours outside, I craved something different for my own children.

When I moved to Portland, Maine, from Boston in 2003 with my boyfriend, Craig, it was a pit stop, not a home. I had no desire to lay down roots. From as far back as I could remember, my dream was to head out to Hollywood and make a name for myself in the film industry. I even attended graduate school and received an MA in television/video production from Emerson College.

Two months after moving to London, I received the offer I had always dreamed about: I would work in news publicity at the BBC. I couldn't believe my fortune. It was one of those "pinch me" moments that made all the sacrifices, visa paperwork, and career risks feel worth it. I had grown up watching the network from across the globe and imagined what it would be like to walk the halls of such a prestigious institution.

The market in Pompano Beach, which once boasted 250 businesses, closed its doors for good on June 1 to make room for warehouses. Many of the longtime vendors retired. But numerous entrepreneurs gritted their teeth and decided to start over in new locations, says Caryn Deri, who moved her store, JMC Hairwear, to a small strip mall in Lighthouse Point. "Everyone kind of just dispersed wherever they could find a decent rent and a place without a parking issue, you know?"

Instead, I was sitting in my Iowa City apartment scrolling on my phone. I passed a video of hundreds of people gathered in Memorial Union Terrace for live music, a photo of old friends clinking margaritas at a Mexican restaurant I used to love ... As I saw more posts from my community back in Madison, Wisconsin, I felt a pang - not of jealousy, but something closer to grief.

OpenAI executives are discussing a potential relocation out of California as increasing political resistance threatens the company's efforts to convert from nonprofit to for-profit status, according to The WSJ, though the company says it has no plans to leave. California's attorney general is investigating whether OpenAI's restructuring violates state charitable trust law, while a coalition of nonprofits, labor groups, philanthropies, and even rival Meta are pushing back against the conversion.

Moving cities was triggered by what was probably a quarter-life crisis. I was unhappy with work and relationships, and I started to seriously think about my direction. I also felt like my hometown, Brisbane, no longer aligned with my current interests and lifestyle preferences. Many of my friends were also going through significant life transitions, including moving to another city or country, changing careers, or starting families. For me, a new city offered opportunities and different experiences, which I was craving.

About a month later, Ben received a call from an old colleague about a work opportunity at a pizza-and-wine bar in Tylösand, a beach town on Sweden's west coast. As a chef, the experience sounded exciting to him, and we also saw this as our opportunity to try somewhere new. That's why, weeks later, we found ourselves vacuum-sealing most of our clothes, giving away what we didn't need, and subletting our apartment - not knowing how long we'd be abroad.

For most of my life, I've been chasing home and never really finding it. I'd look for it in my mom's childhood bedroom, her blue carpet holding my big dreams (and endless questions) as I spent summers with my grandparents and cousins. I'd look for it wherever my parents' jobs took them, always following a promotion or the promise of easier access to family.

Following many years living and operating a showroom in New York, artist and designer Rebecca Atwood relocated to Charleston, South Carolina-with her husband, Steve Bernstein, and young daughter-in August 2021. The next May, Atwood and her family moved into their current home, a 2,100-square-foot property built in the late 1930s.

The challenges of moving to Hawaii, a place that held special memories for us, did not alleviate the existing tensions in our relationship.
