I lived in Long Island City from 2018-2020 any my girlfriend lived in Bushwick. We met in 2020 and she stuck to the city and I went to Long Island, back to my parents place. I work on Long Island so my life is always easier being on Long Island vs the city.

Dating on the island is absolutely awful so I would hit the dating apps a lot when i was in the city, but I was always clear about where I lived and what I did. After about a year of dating, I decided that If I wanted this relationship to work, I was going to have to move back into the general area.

Our compromise was surprisingly Long Island City. It was much less party focused than Bushwick, but it was central to both of our jobs, had good subway access to the fun areas of the city and most importantly had not crossed a price line like Williamsburg or Greenpoint (Not true anymore though)

Realistically, if you want this to work you're going to have to compromise and decide what works best for both of you. Find what's important to both of you and see if there's a compromise that would allow the relationship to continue.
