Would you relocate for a boyfriend / girlfriend? How long would you need to be together for you to consider it?

No. Absolutely not. The fact that he is still just a "boyfriend" indicates there's a reason for not being something more. If I don't want to commit to a permanent life arrangement with this guy, or he isn't ready to commit to me, then it is definitely one of life's fleeting things. I am not going to uproot my life for someone who could be moving in with some drunken cowgirl from the redneck strip club next week.

I moved for a boyfriend once. I didn’t have any friends or family in the state, it was awful. Eventually I moved back home. It was during Covid so I didn’t miss out on any socializing and it was only for one year. I learned a valuable lesson. I’d think twice before uprooting your life unless you would want to move to that specific city/location if that person wasn’t in the picture.

I would. I hate where we live right now. It'd be nice to get away to a safer city.

Where do you live that you feel it’s unsafe?

No unless you’re engaged

I don't think so. Engaged maybe, married yes....just dating no. I just feel like the couple times I have followed a boyfriend have blown up in my face and here I am single. I don't want to be that girl anymore.

I relocated for my boyfriend after 5 months. This was 9 years ago and we have been married for 6 years.

I'd have a really tough time doing so. All my family and most of my friends are currently within 30 minutes of me. The prospect of packing up and going somewhere new where I wouldn't have that social and support structure would make me really anxious. I guess I probably would for the right person, but I haven't found them yet.

It depends on what city it is, whether I know anyone there, whether I can make a decent living there, and just how serious we are about each other.

I would if we had been dating seriously and about to be engaged

Anyone have any similar experience or insight? My boyfriend asked for space/not really together anymore and he says he started to become nervous about being in a long term committed relationship. Even tho he said he saw me as long term & I’m his best friend and he loves me but why then? Does space help you guys figure it out? (Help / advice please😞)

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?

Thoughts?
