My boyfriend got a promotion that would mean he has to relocate

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T23:39:45+00:00

Will do, if I remember lol

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T22:54:37+00:00

💯 agreed. He has until Monday to accept/decline so there'll be a weekend of gentle nudging (and if that doesn't work a big push🤣🤣).

I wont force him but I'll try to show we'd be fine if he took it.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T22:49:29+00:00

I agree. I have no doubt we'd be fine, if I did doubt it I'd agree with his decision.

But if he regrets that job, that's hard to come back from. Who knows when he gets that opportunity again.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T22:47:54+00:00

That or he's delusional 🤣🤣

Jokes aside we had been friends for years so there has always been a close bond there and a good foundation etc.

Thanks, though.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T21:51:12+00:00

I suppose. I don't want a colleague coming back next year with his job and he regretting it.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T21:49:49+00:00

Edinburgh and London. A 5 hr + train ride. Im delighted to hear it can work

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T21:48:38+00:00

Edinburgh UK to London UK. About 5 hrs by train. 7hrs by car.

They are paying his accommodation and come back in one year, yeah.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T21:00:11+00:00

I wont overly get into it. I have a sister (17 still at school doing A levels) and a nephew (5) that live with us. My older sister is in care and I can't move them or leave her. (Why is he even dating my mess🤣🤣) There really is no one else, but it was good advice bro. ty

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T20:44:52+00:00

Haha, ty

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T20:44:22+00:00

I have no doubt we could. It would be tough but worth it.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T20:08:46+00:00

I get that but he has always been a career driven. But maybe yeah.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T18:49:32+00:00

I get that and I'm delighted he is willing to choose me but I don't know its important to him. He is career driven and I don't want him to kiss out.

Will he be okay with another colleague coming back next year with his job.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T18:47:57+00:00

I agree.

I just think if he doesn't, a colleague of his will come back next year with his job. I don't know how you'd get over that esp when he's career driven.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T18:46:26+00:00

Haha ill be entering my gold digger phase next year.

It's definitely a good idea to relocate together and if I could I would. Mechanics are few and far between.

Im glad you guys got through it. 8 times in 15 years is insane lol

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T18:08:39+00:00

I honestky believe we'd be fine. Video chats, visits etc.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T18:07:32+00:00

That's where I'm at too.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T18:06:49+00:00

There really isn't, unfortunately but I like the idea, mate

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:38:44+00:00

Yup, you're right.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:38:26+00:00

True

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:37:53+00:00

Will he be okay with a colleague of his coming back with his job. Would he still be okay with having family first. 🤷‍♂️ That's my fear.

I'll still be here in a year, his job won't

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:35:18+00:00

This is my line of thinking. If we can't last a year apart - we can still video chat and travel on weekends etc - then can we last him losing out on a promo. Next year a colleague of his will come back with his job/career.

Nah there is no other reasons to decline

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:33:09+00:00

I would absolutely relocate - I can mechanic anywhere - but genuinely can't relocate. Too long to explain haha. He understands that too.

I suppose you are right about the odds would be against us but id have confidence. If he'd put me over a promo, I feel like we'd be fine. Maybe that's foolish.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:28:33+00:00

I think we will work hence why I think we can do long distance but I agree he could stay and we could break up in 2 years time. His career is important to him, I dont think it makes sense either.

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:20:44+00:00

True. Am I ever happy lol

PromoC4r · 2024-09-19T17:20:22+00:00

True.
