The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos Could Be Preparing To Live In Kansas Full Time (Signs She Might Regret Such A Big Change Someday)

   

The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos is a sensible and classy woman who values her engagement with Chock Chapple, but tends to be cautious, and if she caves in and moves to Wichita, Kansas, she might be sorry that she did. Loving someone is great, but a person can love a city too. If you think about your own hometown, it probably means a lot to you. We all get attached to shops, the parks, and the people in our neighborhoods.

Golden Bachelorette' Recap: Joan Feels 'Scared' About 1 Man After Hometowns

For this reason, Joan, who's used to living in Rockville, Maryland, may find that she's giving up one of life's most enduring pleasures in order to please her partner.

Wichita seems amazing, just like Chock says it is. However, Rockville also has its charms. Plus, Joan spent years living there with her late husband, John Vassos, who sadly passed away due to cancer. She raised children there. If she needs to give up that kind of familiarity, which is tied with so many memories, she may feel wistful down the line. In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy utters the iconic words, "We're not in Kansas anymore" after arriving in Oz. If things go awry, Joan may wish that she wasn't in Kansas anymore either.

Joan's Got A Good Man

But Moving Is A Big Deal

Above, Chock opens up about The Golden Bachelorette in a windswept interview, getting real with fans about how he would have felt if Joan hadn't picked him. He was candid while telling cameras that he would have been

"devastated,"

and needed a few drinks with buddies while he tried to process his disappointment. As always, Chock seems true blue - he really does go out of his way to tell the truth, as every single word rings true. In a world filled with players who lie, he seems like someone Joan can actually trust

So, she's got a good man. Chock's devoted, he travels for Joan even though he finds it tiring (Chock and Joan's three-city plan is unique), and even fixes her closet. He's well-groomed and chooses clothes that give him a pulled-together appearance. As well, he's a successful man whose insurance services company does well. Chock owns two houses and a man cave made from a storage locker. However, it's not basic - it even has a mezzanine.

Can Joan Really Be Happy In Kansas?

It's Hard To Say

Again, she's got a good guy, but there is the issue of, as they say in the real estate business... "location, location, location." Chock lives in Wichita, and he's totally passionate about his hometown, just like he's totally passionate about Joan. The idea of making him leave the city he adores regularly feels almost cruel, so deep is his love for the Kansas locale.

If he had his way, he'd carry Joan over the threshold (they're waiting to get married as their kids are going to have nuptials of their own) in Wichita, and they'd reign like the city's unofficial king and queen.

Chock is charming, and he may plan to charm Joan into a full-time Wichita lifestyle. He held a mixer where she hung out with his friends, and her smile was frozen in place. Sure, she probably enjoyed it, but at the same time, there's pressure... pressure to fit in, and pressure to move, even if he never comes out and says, "I want you to live here with me all the time." Joan, a sensitive woman, may want the freedom that three cities offers, rather than feeling like she's trapped in a Wichita version of a Normal Rockwell painting.

Joan & Chock Are Compatible

That's Not Always Enough

If she moves for him, that's sweet and it might be a good thing. Unlike a lot of reality couples, these two seem to have a strong base of compatibility. Virgo man Chock and Capricorn woman Joan go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, their chemistry is low-key - it's not super-sizzling. If she's not in the right place, and begins to resent Wichita just because it's not Rockville (or Joan and Chock's potential love shack in NYC), her ardor could cool.

Joan should take her time, really exploring the idea of relocation, since it has so many pros and cons. At a mature stage of life, she knows herself. She understands exactly what makes her happy. That's actually a red flag, as experience has taught her what's important. If she's reluctant to move to Kansas, maybe she should listen to her heart. If not, The Golden Bachelorette star might be sacrificing too much, even for love.
