You did make a lifelong commitment to one of those options...
I received a significantly lucrative offer, when my wife was pregnant with our 1st kid..which I declined. So far, no regrets on that decision!
I made a rule when I watched my sister’s marriage fall apart because her husband spent all his time on his .com. Don’t let work and $ come between me and my wife (future). Unless you absolutely need the $ to set yourself up for life.. not worth it. Not to be morbid, but anything can happen in that year and you’ll never get that time back. Can always make more $$.
There will always be a better opportunity, a better role, better pay, but the time with your wife and Family will never come back. Stay together, you’ll remember this decision and be grateful for it many many years later!
I say take it. Here’s why...you need to learn now how navigate life’s complexities, if you can’t handle one year where you have to make extra effort then how will you both navigate much harder complexities down the road. This is the perfect time to do because your wife is going to grad school and will need to integrate with her friends on campus. You FaceTime every day and see each other every few weeks - it is not going to be that hard especially if you know this is for one year. Do it, dude! You will both be fine!!!
I would discuss the options with her. A year IS a long time but travel and the like could help mitigate that. Frankly, I’m not sure I could do 1 year away...
I think it depends on the couple and your shared goals. I think if the right career opportunity came along and it kept you guys apart for a year, you’d both be on board (aka something you are passionate about). This one just sounds prestigious and lucrative. However, could be go to do before kids. Depends on your guys dynamic
Do you have kids? If so, you don’t have an option as you have a parental obligation to your offspring.
If not, Which one is most important to you... your professional advancement or your wife? (Answer that question honestly).
For context, I’m not judging— I sacrificed a family in favor of my career. I don’t regret it - but I also recognize that I have no basis for what I’m “missing.”
In any event, ask yourself (honestly) which is more important and if it’s your wife, then you have your answer. Because statistically speaking, your marriage isn’t likely to survive a 1 year hiatus. And if I were your wife and you took off for a year, I would too.
Really depends on the individual. My dad worked in South Africa for two years when I was growing up, and the other four of us stayed in the US. He came home once a month for 10 days and it was fine. I got to learn about another continent when we visited.
As an adult, I was in the military and deployments last 6 months to a year with no visits home. Taking a job where you can still see each other and talk every day is way better. But really depends on the type of person she is
A year is really not that long in the context of your marriage, and it may materially change your future, making your family so much more successful. I personally would do it because I also wouldn’t want to resent not taking it. Just be gentle with each other, be sure to honor your commitments, and set the goal together. She’s doing grad school, you’re doing this, you both get to achieve your dreams, and soon you’ll be reaping the rewards together!
I have worked in healthcare industry for a long time. I've heard from a number of nurses that the biggest regret at end of life is not spending enough time with family. No one ever says, "I should have taken that promotion to make more money."
Same boat here - long distance for about 2 years. We decided to try! I am away from my SO M-Th anyway so it wont be THAT differnt
Yeah I agree. We plan to meet every other week and whenever I work near my hometown. Thank you!
How does she feel about it? Like how does she really feel? If this will lead to resentment at any point down the road then not worth it. Other amazing opportunities will come, but you have one life partner
If no kids, get a Southwest companion pass and take her with you...but otherwise, it’s a no brainer...family won’t leave you in a recession
Our plan would be away for a year, but seeing each other every other week. Just don’t know I could do that without being miserable. She would live on the east coast while I’d be in California. She’s moving for grad school 1 year program. I could take a role that allows flexibility of location, but I’m not passionate about it. Or the other role that is an amazing opp but 100% in California. No kids yet.
Honestly if your spouse is in school during that year, if may be a good idea for you to take the opportunity, if it's only for a year. That way she'll be occupied with school and you still get to see each other a couple times a month. Quite a few of my friends in grad school were long distance from their spouse for a year or 2 and it worked out really well for them
I see myself in the investment segment of my career which requires sacrifice and my wife recognizes that we have to invest now to live the life we want in the future
If you don't have kids this is totally doable with the info you've given. Dated my girlfriend while she was in her final year of law school long distance. Saw each other once a month. It was fine as we were both adults with the right priorities. I would never try what you're considering if you have kids.
Definitely discuss with your wife first. How does she feel about these options? Everyone is different. Been 5 years long-distance (off and on) out of the 6 together with my now-fiance, but it certainly was difficult at times, especially when we only saw each other once a month or once every 1.5 months (happened a few times). However, video chat and other technology certainly helps!
We see each other every 2-3 weeks now (he's in school, I'm working) and that works out for us, mostly because we are moving in together when he graduates. As long as there is an end date in sight (which there seems to be for you), it's very doable.
Also consider your wife's career prospects/goals - how does she feel about moving to California? Are the job prospects good there for her? Since it's only a year, you can still take the job and quit if you really hate it later. Perhaps you could also negotiate a remote working option (i.e. one week every other month remote work) as well.
Thanks for the input everyone. Very insightful answers. For some more context, we do not have kids and the grad program is about 9 months with one month of that being a break for the holiday. Wife and I both are from California and she/we would move to the east coast for this program. I am trying to talk to my new employer to potentially let me have some flexibility of being remote. Maybe a week on, week off? If that’s too much maybe I’ll try on-site monday through Thursday and leave early on Thursday to fly to east coast for the weekend. Any tips on how to approach this convo if this is what we end up choosing?
Or maybe onsite Tuesday - Thursday
Not sure....sounds like I’m asking for a lot. Am I?
