move or not to move?

I recently got a job offer from a business in my home town. I asked my girlfriend would she move with me. No answer. There are plenty of opportunities there for her as well. But all i get is "if that's what you want to do" or She changes the subject. I want her to be excited and get out of this town that doesn't even have stop signs and do better. She complains about the job she has now but doesn't seem to want to move on.She wants to stay here because of her family, i get that, but they are encouraging her to go as well. Should i take the job and move on or stay here and mold?

    Quite a dilema. You've a better opportunity offered to you in another town, however there's someone who does not agree with it. This opportunity seems to be good, for you and your girlfriend. Your girlfriend is being dumb for not taking such opportunity, knowing that the two of you can still be together. For her, is as if you told her that you are moving faraway, never returning, and never staying in touch with her.

    Girl, sometimes we have to go the extra mile to get what we really want. Only because your girlfriend does not want to move, doesn't mean you have to stay. I'm sure you love her. But think, this may be your last chance. Your chance to get out there, survive, succeed, and enjoy a new life. Would you put it to waste? You'd be dumb to do so.

    MOVE ON!

    Take the job. Your girlfriend might be avoiding the topic because she is afraid of change and to move. Has she ever been away from her family? If you don't take the job, you will end up resenting her. You need to do what is right for you. If she won't move, how far is this new job taking your? is it going to be cross country or an hour drive? If my boyfriend were offered his dream job somewhere else, I would move. Especially if I hated my job. I would encourage you to talk to her and tell her how much you really want the job and how you want her to move with you.

    Survey says:

    MOVE!!

    If comes along, great. If not, too bad for her.

    You can't sit around stagnating and resenting her for ruining your life. You have to grab life by the horns and hold on for dear life!

    If you don't, you'll be miserable.

    Let her sculk about for a while, stewing over it. If her family is encouraging her to go with you, you never know, it may be the best thing that ever happened to you both!

    My partner always talks about wanting to move back home, but I wouldn't be accepted if she did. Only her mother knows that she's a lesbian, although her father probably knows but just doesn't want to accept it or even be made aware of it. So, I refuse to discuss it with her until she talks to her mother and comes out to her father. I will not go where I'm not welcomed.

    Don't get stuck like we are.

    GO FOR IT!!

    Remember this:Long distance relationships don't work at all,so if she truly loves you and wants to be great friends she should be happy to relocate,as long as it's not to far away from her original residence.You and her will love to walk to where you work,as long as the job is full time and pays well for your expertise.This will cut down in time,stress,money among so many others,just for the fact that everything you need is right next door:Your stores n markets and your job....Exercise is another great part because when you take public transportation instead of cars,you end up walking a little fast.Take care...tom science

    I would work hard with her on finding a job online. Some people are afraid of change cause they don't know that they could get another job that's why millions of people stay with jobs they hate. Or maybe she isn't feeling it with you enough to do all the work of moving if she's sees a breakup in the future. Maybe she's pulling an Ani Defranco and likes guys now.

    I would take the job, it seems like a great chance for you to explore new beginnings. She may come around or not, but you need to do this for you, or you will always regret not giving it a shot.

    And you would come to resent her for keeping you back in a small town. If things work out great, if they don't you tried and no I wonder what.... or what if's.

    Move on.....it sounds like she is not supporting you. The mold will only bring you down and it can be a little slippery getting out of town when your relations tanks.........

    Get refreshed and go for the new............challenges are I think exciting...

    You go, girl. If you don't, the odds are that your future will be pretty bleak and that you'll deeply regret not going.

    Let your girlfriend stay. Some people have little curiosity and little ambition.

    However, you should grab the chance.

    my advise is to take this job offer, try it..!!!

    if for any reason you decide to go back to the city your currently in, you can always go back, at least knowing you tried something and not regretting it at some point down the road,

    good luck in your decision and hope everything works out great!

    Don't let her hold you back. If she is really serious about you she would be excited for you and want to be with you on the journey.

    I would say move.. If you and her are meant to be she'll follow.

    Good luck sweetheart.
