The hardest part for me right now is that we are in the process of a giant move.
Throughout our entire R, we've moved for my job. She's in the medical field so it's been easy for her to find another job.
This latest move is for different reasons. We're in CA and the education system isn't the best, it's very expensive and we're very far from family.
She wants to move to TN where family is. It's more affordable and the schools are really strong.
The problem is, there are really no job prospects for me there. Most of my work is in LA. I'm in the process of landing something pretty big and if we move, it could either destroy that lead or make me "commute" from TN to LA. I don't want to be away from my family that long.
So I'm at a crossroads in my life. Do I choose my family no matter what and forgo the career? Or do I stick to my guns as the "leader" of the family and say no to the move?
My gut and my faith are telling me to move with them. Things will be better in the long run because we'll be together. I can do other things and still be content.
Am I fooling myself? This is really keeping me up at night because I feel that I'm finally becoming the man that she wants me to be. It may be too late though. Do I really want to move to TN, be dumped and have no career as well?
Any advice?
