I (24F) live in South Carolina in my mom’s house rent-free. My boyfriend (26M) also lives with me.
Right now, he’s unemployed he lost his last job because he couldn’t consistently wake up on time and he has no savings. I’ve been carrying a lot of the responsibility in the relationship, financially and otherwise.
My mom lives in a very remote part of Alaska (Dillingham) and called me tonight offering us a great opportunity. Jobs up there pay really well, and the cost of living is offset by the benefits of isolation basically, a few years up there could allow me to save a ton of money and come back to the lower 48 and buy land or a house in cash. She’s totally supportive and said we could stay with her while we get set up.
I was really excited and told my boyfriend about it. His response was “I don’t know,” and he just kept playing his guitar.
I let him know I’m seriously thinking about going, and his only response was, “Okay, well I’m probably not gonna go.”
Here’s the thing I’m very independent and I love to travel. I’ve been to almost every state, while he’s never left the Carolinas.
