Any of you fools reside in Seattle?

Aw, thanks girlie. I'm in a weird spot with him. I've loved him for a long time, and it's not that he is bad to me in any way. He's just got some emotional walls up and tendencies that are just him - He and I have done the long distance thing now for a while and gone weeks without seeing each other, and I don't stop missing him... and it's not that I'm just looking at the good and forgetting the bad. To me he's just worth it - he balances me out,I feel free to be silly and joke around him and act like a total idiot, which is something I've never been able to do with anybody. I'm always so serious.

I'm upset at the way things have panned out. He's apologized. He realizes he should have been able to talk to me about his feelings. Ultimately maybe it's better that he didn't because I wouldn't have reached out to this company and asked them to hire me and I wouldn't be taking this chance that could be a really great thing in my life.

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.

So no thoughts on moving back?

Well, we've loosely talked about "putting a time frame" on this - but for me, I'd need a commitment i.e. engagement to even think about something like that. In a perfect world, I'd stay here for a year (11 more months)and then be able to work remotely. Everything I do is very much PC-based and Customer Engagement (web training, etc) and should be able to be done from anywhere, given the ability for my team and I to effectively communicate...

Somewhat... the degree of, depends on whether you're talking about my job or him. He's always saying that he hates that we can't normally "date", that there's always a start and stop to when he gets to see me... and I basically tell him that he needs to get over that. (I see it as just the way he makes excuses/puts up walls - he calls it "head trash"). He and I communicate as well or better than most couples... even this far apart. I just feel like we need some sort of plan.

As far as the job... well, I work for a company that provides online project management/collaboration software (SaaS), so... I don't see why not.

So if your relationship wasn't complicating things you'd be happy with Seattle?


I really thought you would fit right in.

I like the area - I'm generally not good at making friends I guess. Just lonely.

How you liking the weather over here? Don't worry, there will be some small bits of blue in the sky soon.
You should get into hiking, there are better hikes within 100 miles of you now than 1000 miles of grand rapids(not counting canadia).
