We had a fantastic, mutu ally satisfying relationship and had so much fun together. I knew from the beginning that she wouldn't do a long distance relationship; she'd tried it before with another guy and hated it. I never thought I'd move away, but I applied for a really long-shot job at my current company, and, surprise, surprise, I got it. I could not pass this up; it would have killed my career and, in a way, me. She took it really well when I told her last August. We agreed to stay together until the end, but I sort of closed off, and we split in October. Now here I am in my shiny new job and apartment, and she's all I think about. How do you get over someone you kind of don't want to get over? I feel like we could be separated for a decade and I'd still run back to her if I had the chance. Is it fair to myself to keep hoping that maybe somehow, she'll decide to move here, too, and we could be together again? When I first moved, things were so exciting and I thought I was over her, but clearly I'm not. She was the one, but not in the right place or at the right time. — Long-Shot Why would she do for you what you weren't willing to do for her? This may sound judgy, but it's not. It’s just the question you need to ask. You were absolutely entitled to make the choice you made. And sometimes leaving someone behind for a life-changing opportunity is the right thing to do. But when a connection is good enough to keep forever—when you realize gaining the job wasn't worth los ing the person, and when it's not just the homesickness talking (ahem) — then you need a better answer than, “Gosh, I hope she moves here, too.” She wasn't in the wrong place or time; you put her there when you decided the long-shot job was more important to you than she was. So that's where my advice starts: Listen carefully to your feelings. Listen to what they told you to do before you moved, what they're telling you now, and what changed in between. If it turns out you chose the right priority as your life's foundation, then please leave her be. Stop with “the one” narrative, even just in your head. And if the Aha Fairy says you set the wrong priority when you dropped love for career, then own your mistake — meaning, don't wait for her to fix it for you. Do the hard work yourself.
