Lost my grandmother a few days prior, got bumped out of my shitty job to a lower paying even shittier job, and have to pass on a good job opportunity bc it would mean a big move and my partner refuses to move with me. And shes going traveling for 1.5 months on vacation right away without me. We have a house together and have been together for almost 14 yrs.

Ouch. Why is she going without you?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

She has a ton of overtime hours from her job. She hasn't had to use her banked vacation time in years. I only get 3 weeks and if I accumulate more they start trying to force you to use it. My family/friends live across the country and I just went to see them recently, so I don't have the vacation time to travel. It's not malicious on her part, she just loves to travel and I just can't go this trip. More jealous that I'm stuck not going, but I don't mind the alone time.

She doesn't want a third wheel
