I am in the early stages of a relationship and want to move to another city for unrelated reasons (career & family). They’ve hinted they’d move to another city for me. I’d both want them to come so we wouldn’t have to be LDR, but also don’t want them to

come just because of me, bc now there’s all this pressure. And if later things don’t work out with us, now I’ll feel guilty bc they came out just for me. I also worry about codependency, since I would probably be the only person they know in the other city. Whereas I have existing friends in that city.

set them up with friends or friends of friends, encourage them to have a social life, and let them make their own decisions if they WANT to and it isn't making you uncomfortable. if you don't want them with you, suggest they should wait. if they wanna come, it isn't up to you to make sure nothing ever goes wrong. you're both people and you can help each other, but you aren't solely responsible for their life or decisions
