the two-year itch
A lot of third culture kids describe a pull to move on after a couple of years in one place - the rhythm of a childhood spent relocating. In a relationship, that can look like commitment issues when it's really a question of shared life goals: does your partner want to stay put, or would they move too?
A childhood built around regular moves can make change feel normal and staying feel unfamiliar. Many TCKs describe a pull to relocate every few years well into adulthood.
Only when it's unspoken. The research on lasting relationships points to aligned life goals, so the real question is whether you and a partner want the same kind of life - mobile or settled - and talk about it early.
