My SO is okay, but hesitant, about me looking for jobs elsewhere and doing LDR for awhile. It would probably be at least a couple of years before SO can relocate. SO makes a lot less money than me and I pay most of the rent and utilities right now, which is what makes it hard. SO’s parents have offered to help with the bills if I take a lower paying job and stay here though (but I’m not sure that’s a good idea). So my main two options now are take a lower paying, chiller job here and have parents help or look elsewhere and remain financially independent (at least I would be, SO might need parents help to pay the bills here) but have to do LDR.
