This is zapping a little bit of my joy and excitement of moving to the TV next week - although I knew they would be saddened (I am too), I thought they would be more supportive of my move, and of course I have a guest room for friends to visit, and will be flying back to Colorado a few times a year to visit them and spend Thanksgiving. Would like to hear any comments from those of you, and how you handled the move away from friends to TV.

I would prefer to think that they are real friends who will be missing you and are sad; they just do not know how to appropriately express what they are feeling. Try and see it from the "they are really going to miss you". What they are doing is inappropriate, but I'd cut them some slack.
