Hey guys, I was wondering if you have found yourself in the position where you had to choose between love and a career?
I recently ended a relationship that I kind of just fell into a couple months ago. We started dating shortly after I moved back home a few months ago when I finished my undergrad. I had intended to have a few months to myself to chill out before jumping into the work world. I was completely open with him about my situation during our first date. Even so, we really hit it off that first night even though I told him that I would probably be leaving in a few months. After that first night, we saw each other nearly everyday.
A few days ago we were wrestling in bed and I found myself having to fight the urge to tell him how much I love him. Later that night I began debating whether I should turn down a great government job offer that I received just a week before so that I could stay here and be with him; after all, its love for Christ’s sake! Yesterday I blurted out that I couldn’t see him anymore because I was leaving. I told him that I was offered the job that I always wanted but he was persuading me to turn it down. I’m only 23 and I can’t see myself sacrificing my goals just based on my feelings in the moment.
Have any of you fellas been a similar dilemma? How did you reach a decision?
