When couples disagree about whether to leave a beloved neighborhood

My partner and I moved to this neighborhood five years ago and fell in love with it, but now they want to move to the suburbs for 'practical reasons' and I feel like they're asking me to give up the version of myself that exists here. We keep having the same circular argument about commute times and square footage but we're not talking about what this place actually means to us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The seriousness of choosing where to build a life together has made it impossible to remember why you both loved dreaming about places in the first place.
