I have been very unhappy in my job for a while. If you ask anyone, my job is a dream job, which honestly makes this whole situation worse. I should love my job, but change in management and some new awful coworkers really changed it and I have been stressed ever since. I started going out with my girlfriend about a year ago and up until then, the job was manageable, but it got significantly worse since then.
My job is pretty public facing and I get a lot of hate online, which only makes it all worse. It culminated in getting a death threat recently. I’ve had issues with a stalker through work and this was the last straw…luckily I have recently been getting scouted for other jobs. But the issue is, in my line of work, pretty much any job I get will be in another city. I told my girlfriend months ago that I was looking for another job, she knows how much I’ve been struggling.
I think because I have made the decision I have to leave this job, I have been growing distant from everyone…and I feel terrible because of it. I am just really struggling and my girlfriend loves me and relies on me a lot, but I am not ready to move in together and I also don’t think she’d be able to move to a new city regardless, she has never lived anywhere else and she basically takes care of her entire family.
I know I need to leave the job, and I will deal with whatever consequences that brings, but I guess I could use some advice. I can’t be there emotionally for anyone because of how much I am struggling and knowing how much my girlfriend’s happiness depends on me is also making matters worse (not to put any of this on her, just how the situation is)
