Scenario

When one partner struggles to belong in the other's hometown

My husband and I moved to his hometown after college and I've never quite felt like I belong here after eight years — he has his whole history and network, I feel like I'm still a guest, and we don't know how to talk about this because he takes it personally when I say I don't love this place.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Moving to your partner's place of origin has created an invisible hierarchy of belonging that's affecting your sense of home together.
