Territorial

I was in a (very) long distance relationship at the time, and decided it was worth taking risks and making bold moves, so I moved to close the distance. We got married in 2008, and are married still, so that worked out great. I tried keeping in touch with friends, but over time our life experiences diverged to the point where we just didn't have a lot to talk about anymore, and old friendships fizzled out. I learned many things, got new jobs and made new friends, and overall life is good.

In 2007 I left everything and everyone I knew behind, and moved to another country across the ocean

I've read a lot of sci fi books, seen a lot of movies, and none of them had this on their dystopian bingo card

but now I'm klein

We've given it a lot of thought, and decided to remain evil.

Thank you, that's the piece I was missing :)

This doesn't feel like the right translation for "horsemen" in German
