What would you do?
So my bf and I started dating in high school. We became long distance through college and then I moved with my family and started grad school in another state. We see each other monthly and relationship wise are both happy. We were each other’s first everything and never even considered cheating when long distance since we both have a lot of respect for one another. Well, the plan after was for him to always move by me since I have 3 more years of school left. He did an internship in a city popular for his major and loved it. This city is only a few hours closer so still long distance and would have to fly. I always support him and told him apply for jobs there then we can move in together once I graduate. Which is fine since I’m happy focusing on my education, career and being with my family now. Well it’s been 8 months and he hasn’t applied for jobs anywhere and his parents have made several strong remarks on how basically they won’t let him get a job near me or in the city he wants. His parents have never liked me for whatever reason but now I’m starting to get pretty annoyed. I’m fine with us not living together now we are only 22 so still young but I’m not okay with their strong opinions or the fact that the control his life so much. He knows how I feel and his parents have always been like this so it’s not new. The thing is that I had an opportunity to schedule one of my school rotations this summer to be where he was going to live. Since he didn’t have a job I didn’t pick their but I would do all that I could to be as close to possible with him. It hurts that he hasn’t even applied for jobs near me or done anything when he finally has the opportunity for us to not be long distance. What hurts more is how he tells me he wants to be with me and then does nothing about it.
