Would you leave your partner for a job in a different state?

[Finchie40]

Would you leave your partner for a job in another state? Say your partner couldn’t go with you cuz they were happy and established at their current job but you got offered a position in another state , a state where you always wanted to live , Would you leave your partner for that job if they couldn’t go with you? Or would your relationship be more important than that job?

Definitely not! I'll happily move with him and I have done this in my life 3 times now and will continue to do it cause my husband is military and moving is part of the job

[HighlyVolatile]

Yeah, I've done that several times. The biggest was my long-time girlfriend in uni. It wasn't a matter of importance so strictly put. It's like she goes this way and I go that way. I can't explain it so well right now. It's not like they were less important to me. It's just that I didn't want to break their journey, and they didn't want to break mine.

This is why one partner needs to be moveable. 2 people with careers is less moveable unless it is online stuff.

[Genie23]

Not if I love him... No. Besides, I'm sure I'll finda good job opportunity where we live, too. So, I can have both.

[lightbulb27]

that's a "it depends". I prioritize relationship and family and home over job. Job to me is a means to an end, not the value itself. Maybe there's some short term thing I'd do and travel home on weekends, not all different than traveling sales.

It have to make sense to both of us. In general, jobs are over rated... usually, but some people are career oriented and get their fulfillment from that esteem.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, I'd work from home with my partner in a family run business, being an employee is not worth it, and I'd only leave a relationship for career reasons if she didn't want the same career, but i wouldn't date anyone who didn't, so its only ever going to be a hypothtical.
If she wasn't able to work because of some sudden disability, i wouldn't leave, but anyone I'm compatible with would want this kind of lifestyle more an anything.

My ex did that very thing to me. So if it was my ex I would.

[jennifer_bloom]

AU would stay with my partner

[Crankor]

Depends on what kind of like you want and how you view your partner.

[nice-girl]

Yes, if I was married, not for a boyfriend.

[exitseven]

Nope. it's just a job.

[elizamichale1]

No not at all
