If I take this job, I can cover all the bills on my own, and her money can be used to save. But I’m afraid not seeing each other for days on end and her being alone out here would take a toll on our relationship. On top of that, I would hate to leave her home alone at night. I can look for another job probably find it sooner or later, but this is here, the life changing money is here. What would you do? My mom said take it, dad said no way. So now I reach out to complete strangers on Reddit haha. Thoughts ?
