My boyfriend and I have been together 1 year, he’s really been struggling since the pandemic financially. He has a job but once he’s paid rent etc he has pretty much nothing left for food let alone dates. I know this really affects him as he’s never struggled before. We don’t live together, he likes his own space I guess but him living with me and splitting the bills would make so much more sense financially.
Anyway he’s found a job near family 200 miles away and called me to tell me about it. He was really excited as the pay would be great, he could stay with family and chance for overtime etc. He then eventually said obviously our relationship would be affected and how do I feel. I had tears in my eyes but I was trying to stay positive. I personally can’t do a long term relationship I wanted us to move forward not backwards. I told him this and he hasn’t gotten back to me, to me if he saw a future with me he would move in, not move away. I’m so so sad, things have been amazing recently. Not enough to keep him around
