(Newswire.net — August 8, 2019) — So when an amazing opportunity comes your way – such as the chance to finally find that dream role – you have no choice but to say ‘yes’, even if it means relocating from where you currently live, and potentially leaving your partner behind. The fact that you’ve put so much time and effort into forging a successful career for yourself means that when an opportunity comes knocking, it can be hard to turn it down.
The issue is that when it comes to these kind of opportunities, they can often mean having to leave your partner behind. If your partner is in a role that they love, and are doing something that they have worked exceedingly hard to be able to do, then they aren’t going to want to give up their career so that you can focus on yours, are they?
The question that many people in relationships struggle with is whether they should take their partner into account when considering relocating for work, in addition to what the potential impact of choosing to do so could be. To help you determine what the potential impact could be on your relationship and how you should deal with making this kind of decision, below are some useful tips and pieces of advice.
Will your partner want to move with you?
The chances are that if you and your partner share a home or are legally bound to each other through marriage, then they will want to come with you, should you choose to relocate for work. When you’re in a serious relationship, usually you try to take these kinds of steps together, to help minimise the impact they will have on you. So it’s important to broach the subject with them to see what their response is and whether they would consider moving to somewhere new for your career. Of course, you’ll also have to consider their career, and whether they would be happy to also relocate and find a new job in your new hometown.
Is your relationship more of a casual thing?
Is the relationship that the two of you have more of a casual thing or is it more serious? If you share a casual relationship, then your partner may not want to move with you to a whole new place, which is perfectly fine – moving somewhere new is a big deal. Of course, when you’re casual, there is always the concern that time apart may weaken your relationship. You may be worried that if you leave your partner behind, they may end up cheating on you – while this idea can be upsetting, the good news is that when it comes to how to find out if your boyfriend is cheating, there are plenty of simple hacks that you can use to monitor him from your new location, such as spying apps, for instance. If you want your relationship to go the distance but aren’t sure if you can trust him, these apps can be a godsend.
Is there a future for the two of you?
The key question that you need to ask yourself is: do you see yourself and your partner having a future together? It’s not about how long you’ve been together – what matters is whether or not you see a future together. If you don’t see a future together, what is the point of staying together and moving away? There isn’t one, which is why – although it may be hard – it’s important to consider what the future may hold for the two of you.
Relocating for your career is a huge step, particularly when you have a significant other to think about. Choosing to take this step can have a huge impact on your relationship – it could even be the end of it.
