I moved out this September for the first time (from home and with a partner) with a new job!
I moved to the city with him an hour away from home. I am a homebody and really close with my folks (in their early 70’s) I like to stay close as they are old and had me late.
I have been depressed since moving due to stress from a high end job in the city but it has a toxic work environment. I am a country person too as is my partner and looking to make high income and live minimal lifestyle to save up for a downpayment on a house.
I do have the option to quit and get a low end job until a better one comes along. I don’t want to be a financial burden to my partner. We had conversations about it. I get a minimum wage job pay my bills expect rent, wifi and groceries he would cover them. He wanted to me not feel stressed and does want me to move back home. He understands if I need to go back because I miss home no problem but leaving and my personally not wanted too he wants to support me
We are going on a year and a half of dating and have plans of saving up for a house, had all the deep conversations, ring talks, values and are very much compatible
I am a mess. He can relate to me has when he moved out for the first time his job was toxic, experienced a break up, his friend group broke up (trio of three two out of three or them were dating but they separated), but kept trucking through and left the job, moved and got back on track
I feel like I can get in track and causing issues. Have gone to therapy about it but was looking for advice on how others have dealt with moving out for the first time, moving in for the first time with a partner, new job/ toxic work environments, or advice in general
I could really use it right now
I feel like he has a lot on the go too and I am taking the easy way out
