Time for my first topic, I guess..
I met my boyfriend 18 months ago and we've pretty much been together ever since. We were living and working together outside our respective countries (seasonal kinda job, we did it twice) and in July this year decided we should go home and save as much as we can so we can start our life together in the future. The only promise we made each other was that I was going to visit him for Christmas.
Within weeks of returning home he landed a job that is right up his alley and I'm really happy for him. He's very optimistic and can't stop talking about me visiting "soon". My situation's a little different as far as job is concerned. I do have some savings, but I've pretty much been struggling getting freelance work cause economy's pretty bad here in Europe, and I just can't find a position that would allow me to save even if I lived with my parents.
I could go back to doing that seasonal thing, even though we both decided that we're done with it. We were working as tour guides in pretty remote places so one of the main concerns is that we won't be able to communicate as much as now.
I was offered a contract for this well known operator. It would extend over holidays, so I would not be able to travel and see my bf. If I go and resign before holidays it would look very unprofessional and I would not be able to use it as a reference. It's not like it pays incredibly well, but it's better than I have now. I'm so torn if I should just wait until the holidays and manage with infrequent freelance work and wait until January to maybe start applying for this kind of work.
I really want to see my bf, it will have been half a year by then.
If I do take the job, we won't see each other until April. There is absolutely no way he can come and visit me, because of the nature of the job and the expenses involved since the place I would be is even further than my country (which is far enough). I'm frustrated because it's like I have to put my job on halt until holidays. On the other hand, I'd really love to see him around that time.
I really don't know what to do
