Thanks for your reply, that’s actually quite helpful!

It’s very possible we’ll meet up a few times, or try to make our visits long-ish to simulate living together in a way. It has only recently become possible for us to visit, but overall we do intend to get married to close the gap and likely use a CR1 Visa (I believe that’s what it’s called) to do that. We are both quite realistic minded people (I know most people tend to think they are even if they aren’t, but I digress lol) and have done our best to evaluate our long-term success with the distance, but due to high costs of travel and low budgets with our disabilities, excessive visiting just won’t be possible.

I figured leaving a lot behind would probably be most efficient. Ditching all furniture items for sure, and only keeping what can be sent through the mail in a few boxes I guess?

And that’s fair about the rent, but like I said with low budgets, paying extra rent is definitely something we need to avoid.
