Stress level..

[Puddles]

When Stromba and I moved to FL it was tough. I stayed in NY working while he found a job. He'd just started working and hated it so he quit within days and found another job. We were apart for about 3 months, he was alone down here for his 25th b-day, it pretty much sucked. When I came down finding work was even harder, and not being able to live on one income, I took work as a temporary secretary. I grew to love working as a temp as I love change. Sometimes the assignments were a day or a few days, others lasted for months. I was offered full time work by some of them. There were times when I didn't have work and it got to the point of rolling up change to buy rice and beans for food but it was worth it to be together. We had only one car and lived very simply for a long time but those things just made us grow closer together. Moving to FL was the best thing we ever did, we love it here. You can do things similarly if you want to...come down alone first, get settled, have your g/f send out resumes and set up interviews with employment agencies for when she gets down here. She can work as a temp. until she finds something perfectly suited for her skills.

One word of advice, get flood insurance on your appartment. Storms are bad at times and you don't want to be left with nothing. We used our flood insurance when the appartment above us had a pipe burst and it ruined some of our furniture and clothes, the insurance co. reimbursed us well.

Well, we went down this past weekend, and got an apartment together.. Its a really nice place, I will try to post some pics of the model up when I move them off my memory cards.. Its small, but its in an awsome neighborhood (very important to her) and very close to the gym (very important to me)..

Not sure about telling her about my "self-styled" science project though.. I am going to be off everything when I move down there, I only have about 2 weeks left on my cycle anyway.. So I am thinking I might chill out for awhile while I am there, and then, if I decide to cycle again, then discuss it with her.. Since she has been with me, I have been on more then off, so its going to be hard for her to say she does not like how I act on roids..

Decisions like this are never easy. Try to relax till your girl gets back and then talk to her about it all. Jobs may be hard to find but so are good people. If she's the one you'll know it. Personally, I'd rather be with the man I love and be poor than be alone and wealthy.

Watch the drinking...don't want to cloud your judgement too much. Good luck!

i couldn't agree more puddles, but if he's already worried about what she's doing out there then is she really the one? no matter what there'll always be that lingering in the back of his mind. same thing happened to me before, only i know she did, but it was another continent so it doesn't count does it? anywho, Puma think about this if the relationship should end in two years you'll have lost her and never gotten the job. if it's a good opportunity for you then i say take it. just speak with her about it, if she's the one she'll be willing to take that step with you and move to continue her life with you. and yes alcohol does cloud you judgement, :drunk: so try and keep it under 12..................j/k alcohol is a bad idea i think
