Single and Moving Home

Relationships

An Old Flame

Moving home as an adult has many bad connotations, but it is often a necessity of modern life. Some people feel they have reached the end of their limits, so they retreat to where their parents will care for them once again. Others have found that moving home so they can attend advanced schooling is a good option, but they might still feel stigmatized by their decision. Few adults want to be dependent on their parents, but they might need financial or emotional support. For those who have moved back in with their parents to make everyone’s life better, meeting an old flame could be an opportunity.

Teenagers often fall deeply in love, but it does not last due to the circumstances of their lives. They could find they are maturing at a faster rate than their partner, or they might not be compatible when it comes to their dreams of the future. The love they felt for the other person did not simply go away, but it was not enough to keep the pair together. Moving back home might reignite a past romance when the two are older.

Moving back in with parents is often to the childhood home, so there is little doubt that former friends will be dropping by to catch up. Some of them will find they have nothing in common, but others will reinforce their former relationships. Their goals of getting out of town and living in the big city again might be the same, or they could have found that coming home was the right decision for all of them. Within this group of friends, there might be a potential relationship with a compatible person.

Moving back home and meeting an old flame can turn a bad situation into one where love blossoms for both people. Meeting with old friends from the past can help people adjust to their new circumstances, and it can help them open up to the idea of romance.
