How has your dating life been as a TCK?
Previously I made a post asking you guys where would you settle down, however I wanted to ask you all how has navigating dating and relationships been for you.
I recently reflected back on my dating relationships and noticed that I essentially had to hide a lot of my backstory early on with the person, just because they wouldn't understand and that it would complicate things even more. Only until I felt that this person was serious relationship material, where I would fully elaborate my backstory. Some relationships I had in the past were so short that I didn't even tell them about my backstory, all they know about me is where I currently live.
I sometimes find myself in this paradox where I feel like the reason why I can't find someone compatible is because I cannot be fully genuine without overwhelming the person.
For perspective, I live in North America. Wonder how is dating like for you TCK's in different parts of the world.
Theres always a saying where people go "its better to stay with your own kind", I feel that with us TCK's.
Curious to hear you guy's stories!
