Well, I've started to look for a new job. I moved into this area two years ago and have been very miserable. While I am trying to find something close, I am really wanting to find a job back in the Midwest, nearer to where my family is.
Problem is, that I have a girl that I plan to marry here. This wouldn't be too much of a problem, but she does not believe in cohabitation because of her religious beliefs and lives with her parents. She's 26, I'm 31 and we currently live in Virginia. She's about all I have out here, otherwise, I feel like this place is killing me.
I'm looking at a job in Missouri and she doesn't like it. I'm trying to make her understand, but I don't think she gets it. I really want to make things work, but at the same time, I have to get paid more and need to be somewhere I can feel comfortable.
Since I'm potentially moving 14 hours away, I'm wondering what I can do to make this relationship work. She is working on a masters degree and says she would look for a job in the same city as me. I just wonder how we can keep things going until then and what may make it easier.
