How does one decide where to live with an SO if one person wants to stay in their current location (a very expensive city) for the foreseeable future and if the other wants to move away to a small town (affordable and tiny).

Talk. Compromise.No? What? I’m wondering how people work through this issue
Break up now
Move to timbuktu
Wow, great answer.Well, look at it like it's your decision. What matters to you more - being with this person or living in a certain place?
I relate to this a lot. I could live there on my own. He wants to live far away. We did work it out and have planned how we will use the space I just have other concerns now!Yeah for me personally I would probably end up living where I wanted to live; I generally tell people upfront that I like my living arrangements and am not going to change them. Although, I live alone and do not want to live with my partner. I think living with a partner would require me to relinquish more control than I'm willing to do.
Maybe you guys could do a thing where you live in both places and switch halfway during the year. Like they live with you, you live with them.
Unless your income isn't good enough to afford the place on your own, which I'm against teaming up with a romantic partner to be able to afford my lifestyle. If I can't afford it on my own... Then I simply can't afford it.
