Marah correct me if I am wrong but you met your partner and then moved right?
That's true, I didn't move permanently until after I'd met him; but I met him in Toronto because I was already spending every weekend/day off there. The travel was exhausting, but I had a social life, and I met my husband through mutual friends in Toronto. Even if I hadn't met him, it would have been worth it to me to have a social life with like-minded people.
I wouldn't suggest that you pick up and move to Toronto or Ann Arbor, but coming in more often for events that interest you would at least be fun.
I think for guys its a bigger choice since society frowns upon males that do not keep up their end of things economically.
There's some truth to that, but these days, single women who can't support themselves aren't exactly looked up to either, and married women who aren't contributing financially are usually raising children (or live with someone who can afford to support them).
I also stick around Sarnia for family reasons too.
That's why it's a hard choice, and one that no one else can make for you. But if you say that you can't find anyone compatible in Sarnia, but that you want to stay there, there aren't too many other alternatives.
