Well I done gone and done it. I bought a near new Home today. Two Big Bedrooms and lots of space everywhere. I'm fully comitted now to the quest to win my MW.
I'm going back to the old homestead tomorrow morning to begin packing and taking apart my old life to start anew. Stomach is roiling while I type this.
My MW's valentine flowers were delivered this afternoon and she emailed me her joy. It felt weird knowing she was emailing from a couple of miles away instead of the usual 700. It was also weird to know that I would be right back here in a couple of months, and that a couple of months after that I would be "spilling the beans" to her that I live 7 miles away instead of 700 (I could have bought a nice house three blocks away, but didn't consider it).
As long as you're okay with whatever happens...Good or bad.
Let's hope she's not a curious type and checks the IP address....She'll know you're close by then.
I've been sending flowers through the same florist for seven years. I've also been emailing from the same account for the same period. There's absolutely nothing unusual or out of place sending her an email this afternoon.
I doubt she would know an IP from a PeePee... I could barely manage to search like that.
And... I'm sure she would be curious as heck if she had a clue I'm here, which she isn't. Thus the adventure.
You don't play around, do you? I'm going to have to read up on the background here.
You think she'll be mad, but don't seem too concerned about that. That's interesting to me.
Congrats on the new place!
I'm sure she will at least "act" mad for awhile. She may actually be mad as heck, I'll find out soon enough. I know her well enough to know that she enjoys and is excited by assertivness. I haven't been in the position to "be assertive" for quite awhile.
I'm sure that if she was given the choice she wouldn't want me to move here. It will absolutely disrupt her, as she calls it "dull and boring" life. She's into the status quo pretty heavily. Enevitability is on my side. As I have written before I'm counting on her heart, (and other parts) not on her reliance on the status quo.
I am very happy you found a beautiful new home....
...I am less happy for the reasons you have decided to do this...
Games on top of games on top of games....
I would tell her immediately that you have decided to move out there, and that the move is not intended at all to bear any pressure on her, but that it was, in part, motivated by your love for her.
By keeping this all undercover, the later surprise could result in anger as she might react badly not only to the "lying" but to the sudden feeling of emotional claustrophobia. She might feel that she is being "forced" into a decision.
If you hide this, she will know you were hiding it because you know that on some level it is somewhat of a pressure on her. She will call your "bluff" then. If you are upfront, it sounds more natural, as if you have nothing to hide.
I do not have the best feeling about the approach here, and I just *sigh* think that honesty is always the best policy in relationships.

Neither would I!
I don't mean to put a damper on your joy, but like OE, I have always thought that this is something that should have been discussed openly with her beforehand.
But never mind. It's done. And I must admit, in many ways it is very,very romantic.
You are excited and happy, that much is clear and I sincerely hope that things work out the way you want them to.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Noforgiveness, I've examined your position for almost seven years now and it certainly has merit. I would say that I agree with you in some ways, it's going to be a mess. As to the "same town" stuff, who knows? She has a great job and if she acts like every woman I've known in my life, she's going to be very reluctant to leave it.
Old Europe, of course there is the intent to put "some pressure" on her. It would be ridictulous to claim otherwise. This PA turned EA has gone on for to long. As long as I live seven hundred miles away there never going to be a conclusion one way or the other. Telling her now, before I am settled in would only cause a huge fight over making the move. That's unnecessary. I was tired of where I am currently anyway, it's time for a change. I'm hoping that she see's the situation as I do down the road. Circumstances and distance have allowed her to dictate the terms for six plus years now the terms will become more balanced.
Anywho all, thank you for your kindness. The real work is ahead, packing, throwing away stuff... then the reverse.
