Me and my partner have been talking about buying seriously for 6 months. Neither of us are particularly enjoying our jobs, but his is definitely more stressful than mine. Today, he got offered a job he really wants, but it's on a 2 year fixed term contract. I obviously really want him to pursue his dreams but I'm finding it hard to know what to do because I feel it's a compromise one too dar. I've lived in London for him for around 3 years now, and I'm really ready to move but he isn't. So I said as a compromise, we can stay but only if we use my money I've saved to put a deposit down and buy a flat. As a result and despite being unhappy in my job, I've stayed put until we have a flat finalised as thats my most important goal in the short term. However, this mortgage is being compromised because my partner has just been offered a job he really wants on a 2 year fixed term contract. I can't explain how ready I am to buy somewhere, it's literally everything I've wanted for the last 2 years and I can't cope with the idea being in London stuck in high tents for another 2 years because my partner has a job he really wants. I love my partner so much but I feel like I've put my life in hold for him and this is another instance where I would have to do it again and I'm closing in on 30. AIBU? What should I do?
