When do you think would be an OK time to bring up this subject with my boyfriend?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:A lot depends on what both of your future jobs are going to be, and whether one of you will have a career that makes it sensible for the other to follow and pick up what’s available for employment in the local area when you relocate. And knowing the kind of education that you and he have had (and congratulations, by the way! for having made it to senior year as well as for the relationship), it’s very likely that if you take jobs related to your education – engineering-wise, that is – either one of you might be relocating on a more or less regular basis. Even if one of you takes “a good job in a strong company in your area of expertise”, that one may still undergo many temporary relocations, short-to-long-term reassignments in various field locations, branch offices, customer sites and the like. Even if one of you elects to sacrifice career for the sake of following the other, the jobs that you or he get that require either or both of you to make these temporary times apart may force you into long-distance relationships – even while you share a nominal “same address”. I wish you all the happiness in the world in both career and romance, but I think you need to face the likely fact that there will be various periods of separation no matter what you plan to do – unless you can both get desk jobs in a stable company and location, and I’m not sure that I’d wish that on anyone.
