If you dont move, you wont get fired but it will be looked down upon greatly, and you wont feel like you are completing your job the best you could and not acheiving the goals you have set forth professionaly.

If you leave now, and tell her that she will have to hang out on her own for 3 months, and you might come back every 2-3 weeks for the weekend, etc but you are running an 85% risk that she will break up with you. She will also be extremely pissed off.


WHAT would you do?
Pay yourself first. At the end of the day, what's more important to you: A girl that is ready to leave you if you can't be around every waking moment, or your career? Only you know the answer to that one.
