ok, i hate to keep talking about my boyfriend all the time, but some stuff has been going down recently.
he has been offered a job at his old office in columbus, ohio. it's a really great offer; he's been offered what he makes now plus 1/3 of that salary, plus overtime, plus moving expenses. it's seriously an out of control great offer. sadly, we have only been here about 7 months and i am far from ready to go back to columbus. i do have one friend there that i really miss, who recently told me she is going to have to live in columbus herself for another 2 years. so, that would be great to be able to hang out with her again. but, like i say, i really can't move back there now. i personally think that the offer is preposterous, given the timing. but, it appears my boyfriend is taking it very seriously and is sounding like it is a good possibility that he will be leaving me here. i can't be upset with him about taking the offer, as great as it is, and he is being really nice in that he is willing to still pay half of my rent payment until the end of the lease. but, realistically, we will likely break up over this. i don't intend to move back there and i also don't want to have a long distance relationship with him. we have done that before. besides, he already says that he would probably be committed to this job for at least 5 years, and i really like chicago and want to stay, at least for more than one year. long story short, i'm pretty upset about this, but we have been almost broken up over things like this so many times in the past 4 years that we have been together that it only seems like we have just overstayed our welcome in the fate department.
what do you guys think?
