'He gave me an ultimatum. The job or him': Man threatens to break up with girlfriend if she accepts her dream job as a renewable energy consultant in Denver, just 45 minutes away, claiming that she's being "selfish" by making them move or do long distance

This must be a rare occurrence, because for the first time in a long time, we think this answer is fairly clear. If a man starts to impose any 'it's him, or me's within your life, take that as a sign to start really looking inwards at your relationship. Because oftentimes him is not referring to a specific person. It could be regarding your family, your friends, or in this case, your career…Because when a man truly loves you, it is not your confinement he values, but your growth.

So when this renewable energy consultant gets offered for dream job in Denver, she cannot wait to share the exciting news with her boyfriend. After all, she' been working toward it basically since the day she could read and write…But her boyfriend's reaction was not quite as excited. Instead of a bunch of red roses and a slightly-too-large balloon that read congratulations, she received a breakup threat. Claiming that it would be 'incredibly selfish' of her to make them move 45 minutes away…or worse, be in a long-distance relationship. Well, if 45 minutes is long distance, then we'd consider ourselves in multiple long-distance relationships with everyone we know!

It is evident that this relationship was doomed from the start. And the thing is, that if she were to give in to his ultimatum, she knows exactly what she would choose. And we're not so sure it's the ‘our-love-above-everything’ answer he was hoping for. Because when you put a woman in a corner, it is likely she'll dig through it, and leave you stuck inside all alone…
