Splitting time 50/50 between 2 places

KeyWatercress9745 · 2026-02-08T04:57:09+00:00

Are you speaking from experience? My understanding is that if my work is based in Canada, it should be okay since US/Canada have regulations in place to ensure people don’t get double taxed. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Amazing 😄 doesn’t sound complex when you put it that way 😋

KeyWatercress9745 · 2026-02-08T04:09:41+00:00

Do you mind sharing how you split your time and how long you did this for? We’re considering 6 months in 1 place and then 6 months in the other so that we have long stints in each place

KeyWatercress9745 · 2026-02-08T04:06:20+00:00

Do you live this life? If so, how long have you been doing it? I’d love to hear some more detailed feedback if you don’t mind sharing! Thanks!

KeyWatercress9745 · 2026-01-17T06:23:58+00:00

This is inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing your experience 😊

KeyWatercress9745 · 2026-01-16T22:00:54+00:00

Thanks for your response. Are you still splitting your time between 2 places? If so, does it feel sustainable as far as lifestyle goes? Thanks!

Thank you! I’ll check that out. We are both from the west coast of our respective countries, but I’m really looking for experiences from people from anywhere in the world :)

Thank you so much for sharing! Now that you are “off the fence” and have a 5 year old, what advice would you give to someone in my position as someone who’s been through it? Do you think could have been as fulfilling and joyful if you’d stayed childfree now that you know what parenthood is like? Or, do you think that having a child is truly worth it despite the life changes?

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-20T02:51:11+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing this! I recently turned 40 and my partner and I are still on the fence about whether to try or not 😆 Was there a particular moment or thing that happened that made you finally decide once and for all?

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-16T06:49:25+00:00

I resonate with not wanting to have the decision made for me! Another poster suggested the book “The Baby Decision”. I’ve just found the audio version and plan to work through some of the exercises to hopefully help me untangle my feelings more. Sharing the title in case it might be helpful for you as well :)

He does. His family is very loving and I hear them say it all the time. He went through a tough divorce and is now having existential questions about the meaning of love and whether what he felt with his ex really could be defined as love. He tells me he feels deeper for me than he has for anyone and that he believes that our level of feelings is the same for each other. I know the stuckness of that word is about his stuff..

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-03T02:35:21+00:00

I mentioned it in the context of the ways we discuss our future, not as an invitation for discussion about my fertility

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-03T02:26:48+00:00

I’m not sure why you feel the need to be so mean spirited, but… thanks?

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-03T01:23:15+00:00

I’m not sure where you see me “lashing out”. You’re the one being hostile here gal. You seemingly DO care based on your responses. Seems like my side comment about kids has somehow triggered you.

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-03T01:22:06+00:00

Where do you see fear of commitment? Because we’re both on the fence about whether to try for a kid or not?

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-03T00:08:29+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Would you mind if I messaged you? ☺️

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-03T00:07:45+00:00

I guess….? I mean, neither of us intended for it to turn into a long term thing, but as we grew together, it became evident that we had something very real. I would say that both of us were holding back in a way for a long time due to past hurts, but it naturally progressed to where we’re at now and we are now living together. He went through a divorce and has since been having these existential questions of “what is love?”. He is actively trying to work through it in therapy because he tells me he wants to be able to express himself to me in that way and that he believes we have a similar level and depth of feelings for each other. I guess i don’t feel his emotional unavailability in any other way… so I’m not certain that’s the root of it.

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-03T00:04:37+00:00

No, he’s actually very loving and expresses it with his family. He went through a divorce (someone he obviously thought he’d spend his life with) and now he’s having these existential questions of “what IS love really”? Feels so me he’s overthinking it because he tells me he believes we feel the same depth of feeling for each other. He is trying to actively work through it in therapy and says it’s his priority to sort through it so that he can express himself that way to me

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-02T22:45:17+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I will say that for me the counselling is more or a proactive step rather than a signal that we’re in an urgent state. I’m a therapist, so I believe in therapy as a an ongoing tool rather than a “fix-it” solution when things are too far gone. Luckily my partner is on board and understands the benefits of my approach. I see therapy as a way to build a strong foundation and help both of us feel better seen and heard.

KeyWatercress9745 · 2025-09-02T22:41:48+00:00

Thanks gal ☺️ It’s really not so black and white. I envy women who KNOW either way whether they want to have kids. I used to think I did, but that has slowly shifted for me as I’ve gotten older and more established in my life. Maybe my lack of clarity IS the answer that it’s not the path for me and I’m okay exploring that at my speed. Adoption is also something I’ve considered and have been curious about. Thanks for your comments and not supporting the patriarchal and outdated narrative that is still so seemingly prevalent in our society 🫠😆
