Your partner has to relocate for their career - Where does that leave you?
Each relationship has its own set of twists and turns, and sometimes life gets in the way. But how do you go about deciding whether to support your partner's career or potentially lose them in the process?
I always admire couples in long distance relationships and cannot help but think how difficult it must be to make things work.
For most individuals, they are willing to go all the way to support their other half. But what happens when your other half is given an opportunity of a lifetime and asks you to come with? Where does that leave you?
I think this answer has a lot to do with timing and where the couple is at as far as commitment is concerned. If Mr T got a job overseas and the relocation ticked all the boxes, we would go, and vice versa.
