I have an opportunity to potentially work in aviation, but it would mean spending quite a lot of time away from my fiancé and my dog who I love very much. I don’t get a lot of support from my own family, but he has been my rock for the past almost 10 years. I’m not sure what to do.

Who has been your rock - your fiance or your dog?

funny

How does your fiancé feel about it?

He’s incredibly supportive. But he also said he’d be sad that I’d be away from him. But I don’t have a job right now

Spending time away from loved ones is not only hard on the heart and family, but it invites too many unwanted things. If it's your only opportunity, then be prepared to make significant sacrifices. You can make it work, but at what costs?

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

When to break-up with someone? I’ve been dating my gf for 6 years (2 long distance 1yr on a break and 3 living together.
