How do you sit down and think about decisions that make you have to choose between progressing in your career and moving cities or staying back in the city you found love in and being close to the relationship you could turn into a marriage? I'm losing my mind and can't think straight. The stakes seem too high and I don't even know how to arrive at a sound answer for my situation. Can you share what you do to calm yourself down and think of what's best?

I was in this situation years ago after a layoff in 2008, the year the economy crashed and there were few jobs. I was under consideration for a great job in a state halfway across the country. The next step was to fly out. After much angst, I withdrew my candidacy. 1) I didn’t want to leave my state and my family 2) I was a year into my relationship with my now husband and I didn’t want to leave that behind 3) I decided eventually, the right job would come around and I decided to trust myself that I would make the right decisions and be able to pay my bills. I made the right decision for me and prioritized my personal life knowing that family is forever and companies offer you no loyalty. It was too big of a move to make. I still razz my husband/then boyfriend about not begging me to stay at the time. He said “you need to do what’s best for you.” lol 😂 so funny to think about now. Good luck to you!

We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
