H sent me an interesting email this morning informing me of several options he is looking at once his contract is over. None of the options include moving back with S and I to our hometown in a couple of months. The options include job prospects in other cities, starting a PhD, or even remaining here if offered a new contract. He states there are long-term goals he'd like to achieve and he has to do these things now before it is too late, that he should have done some of these a few years ago.
He does ask if I support any of these options, that he wants me to do what I want and that he doesn't want to force me into anything. I haven't responded because I'm not really sure what he's asking of me. In my reply I think I will thank him for sharing his potential plans, tell him that he has to do what he feels will bring him closer to his goals and that I will support whatever decision he makes as far as work. I think we may end up being apart for some time.
