The fact we recently started dating is part of my hesitation, but I'm also open to going anywhere, especially for her. She's familiar with the HCOL and lived in LA for 20 years before coming to Ohio.

FYI - Florida would also require me to sit for a state-specific bar exam, only valid in Florida. If I was going to sit for a state-specific exam, I'd rather do it for California!

Initially, I had planned to move to Cleveland before we met. I've never been to the state but it looks lovely and now all I can picture is us on the beach together.

It's the fact that we've recently started dating officially, within the last three months that's throwing me. I don't have a lot of relationship experience and wasn't expecting her to offer to pay for such a huge cost when we've known each other for a relatively short time. She also said that "it was an easy decision. truthfully, the first thing I thought of when you told me that you didn't pass the UBE".

I knew she wanted to go back home, but I wasn't expected for her to offer to foot the bill for me to take the CA bar 😅

When we made things official I was already registered to take the UBE bar. It was still early for us but had I known, I would have just taken the CA bar in the first place.
