"Ultimately, the two of you must come to an agreement, but if you think you can swing it, giving both of you space to build your careers seems viable. Perhaps you should stay put and grow your career as she immerses herself in hers at least for an agreed-upon period of time. Many couples manage long distance as long as they map it out and remain committed. Talk it over and see where you land together."
"My fiancee and I are going strong, but she's just been accepted to a Ph.D. program in another state. I always knew that she had applied to certain programs in different states, and I was OK with that. In the past few months, though, while awaiting her acceptance letters, my career skyrocketed. I was assigned two major accounts at work and nearly tripled their growth within a month. With that came a major promotion and trust with some of our top clients."
A couple faces a decision after the fiancée is accepted to an out-of-state Ph.D. program while the partner experienced sudden career advancement and a major promotion. Options include relocating to join the fiancée immediately, or maintaining the current job and attempting an agreed-upon long-distance arrangement for a set period so both careers can develop. Many couples manage long distance successfully when they map out expectations and remain committed. In another situation, a friendship shows patterns of selfishness, dismissive speech, frequent unavailability, and dishonesty. Repeated harmful behavior can make a friendship exhausting and justify ending the relationship.
