You do you. I just can't stand the northeast. I can't stand people for the most part outside of a couple dozen tight friends. I could restart anywhere. I have friends, new friends in Montana from CA that I jam with and I only visit there. I'm an introvert but with an extrovert wife I find my friends pretty easily anywhere.
I have probably 2-3k people that know me. I just don't want to know them. I got my golf trip buddies. Snowboard/ski buddies. Ping pong. Concerts. Bandmates. Those guys are my crew even if they live 1,200 miles away. I could fly domestically every week for 6 months solo. Anchored in IL, but location really doesn't matter. Again to each their own, not judging, I just despise the NE which was my bitching point. Nothing on you.
I know ppl in Norfolk, Richmond, eastern Maryland, Delaware, etc and all those areas are within reasonable driving distances. Some of them, started in the NE corridor and drifted there over the years for the Navy, easier lifestyle, access to natural settings, etc, while being somewhat of a stone's throw from the major civilizations of the North. And once you across the Chesapeake Bay into the peninsular region, the population density drops like a rock and it's almost like being in rural America but with the ocean nearby.

Man channel was cancelled before the house was built. Fake religious, but no chance in hell anything like strippers being at that house happening with my uncle and aunt. Their oldest had a dry wedding, no booze. Top 3 worst event I've ever been to.
It would be a good party pad, but that's not my uncle. My side of he family is weirdly loyal to family, yet not close. You'd really have to fuck up to get booted from the inner circle. I made really bad comments about my uncle, but he'd still have me visit if I asked.
He's got billionaire neighbors. It's a gated community where that shit doesn't go down. Parties aren't a thing. You get booted if you do that. Lots of Karens.

View from inside my uncle's house. That's winter.
I know that house! How long has he had it? I saw a bunch of bikini model strippers playing around in that pool on the man channel before that channel was banned from roku.

What's interesting to note is that the arrival of ponies/horses on Chincoteague Island and adjacent, Assateague Island, pre-date the arrival of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock.
In other words, a crashed Spanish vessel brought the first domesticated animals (to later become feral, once abandoned by their owners for a couple of generations), from Europe to the USA, before the British had their chance to settle the nearby James river on the mainland.
If Claire loved the Misty horse books when she was a little girl, point out that Chincoteague is in that vicinity.

As of now, everyone knows that I'm involved with a Welsh woman and we spend an inordinate amount of time in her home country and that's the way she likes it which is fine for me.

Now, let's say that the 'Unspeakable' happens ... Rin and Claire settle down and have a child together. Here's my concern, I'm perfectly fine raising a child in Wales as we could settle in some small town, homeschool our kid with the local council's housekeeping seal of approval, and thus, he/she would be raised w/o a bunch of sociopathic Tik-Tokers ruining his/her childhood and mental health.
With that stated, I've realized that even though our child would have dual citizenship, only in the UK, is it 'ok' for a potential PM to be born abroad as the British have always had an overseas Empire and routinely sent families across the oceans to manage the Empire's dominions. In contrast, most Americans will never accept Rin Jr nor Claire Jr as an authentic American and thus, it would hurt his/her chances for a Presidency w/o everyone crowding into Cambridge MA's dank city hall records, catching all kinds of molds and diseases to verify that Rin Jr was in fact, descended from Rin Sr as a natural born American. So my idea is that I know folks near Norfolk-to-Virginia Beach VA area and they have great pre & post-natal care centers where Claire and I could temporarily live, if she has a child. Is this a good idea or should I say ... f'k the American Presidency, if my child wants it, she'll have to get her own campaign manager not me.
