[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would break up with him, because he's not supportive of my career goals. The two year job could extend to longer. It could lead to another job in another even more fun location.

Just the fact that he isn't supportive AND issued an ultimatum makes him not a man worth marrying in my eyes.[/quote]

This. He is showing zero flexibility. I’m not saying he doesn’t love you. But he’s willing to let you go because he doesn’t want to move. That’s not behavior that a supportive partner exhibits. There are going to be a lot of compromises in a long marriage. It’s very concerning that he’s willing to have the relationship end because he just wants to stay put. Now is the time to try new cities and things while still in your early thirties. You can still get engaged and married and start a family on a different coast.

If it was me, I’d think carefully about ending the relationship not because I want this job so badly, but because he’s response and demands are indicative of some highly inflexible behavior and struggles to come. Take it from a 42 year old with a bit more life experience. Make a decision that’s true to you. [/quote]
