So I used to live in the city, but being with my girlfriend for 4 months we started looking for somewhere to live together. She used to live in a pretty ghetto area where you have to watch your back and have weapons on you, so I told her I wanted to live somewhere nice and safe. Now, my girlfriend has really expensive tastes, and with me she usually gets everything she wants...and I'm a sucker for her. She told me she wanted a two story house... and once she finds a house she loves she won't give it up for nothing. So we moved far away outside of the city, to a small growing town. But it's 34.5 miles from where I work, so I have to drive that every day now. I just need some assurance here, because it takes a lot of time out of the day (not to mention gas money) to drive, and all I really want is to be safe and to have more time with my girlfriend.
It really sucks for us right now because she works crazy 13 hour days since she's a manager, and we hardly ever get to see each other except when she wakes me up at night...because I'm already asleep by the time she gets off work, then she has to drive for 40 minutes to get home.
Back when we were shopping for houses, I tried to warn her, it's going to be a long commute, and we already don't get to see each other that much. But she just kept insisting, and don't get me wrong, it's a very nice house. So that's my story...what do you think? And would you move anywhere with your partner if they really wanted you to?
