My mates been told to feck off by his girlfriend of 3 years as he has taken a job offer abroad for at least a year, which will greatly enhance his job profile, income, prospects etc.
He did say he can get concession flights for her and he thought she would be all for it but no, so he's... I dunno tbh, angry, sad, feels let down by her I guess.
I used to experience similar when I was in the Army and had to travel a lot, and sometimes the girl I was seeing was ok about it, other times they weren't, so I told him it just shows her lack of character and long term belief in the relationship really and maybe they don't really know each other as well as they thought.
He's still going which is a good opportunity for him.
Wondering how many of you guys would do it? Or stay for a GF?
I totally understand people in a marriage or have kids etc. would probably say no (I turned down a stint in Iraq because of my kids, not that this mate is going there though).
