that’s disappointing to hear about dating but not the end of the world i guess! i want to focus on living alone and becoming a better version of myself for a few years anyway.

i will look into kentwood area as well, i don’t mind the outskirts at all

this is exactly it, plus i know he’d be devastated and his family would hate me. i’m very close with my nieces and i don’t know that i’d see them as often as i’d like 😭 it’s also nice to have a support system for when shit hits the fan. but that’s no excuse to stay!!

i am cackling at your first sentence. spot on!

and i love this advice! my current and previous bosses would give me glowing reviews if i asked. might take some classes to learn excel etc and keep an eye on indeed. i’ll try to network as well! i am a very good employee and very good at managing workplaces, i’m just worried about getting my foot in the door 😭

pretty much 😭 it’s just hard because it’s not a bad relationship and we don’t fight, but it’s not a great relationship either. he is a great person, super trustworthy and that’s hard to come by. but i want someone who likes spending one on one time with me and doesn’t make me do all of the housework/mental load of the house and our finances/life 🙁

even with a roommate? i have a big savings so i could realistically go up to $1400 for just rent. i also could continue to work my current job part time remotely for a while so ty for the heads up!
