I’ve been dating a former plate (I had three and elevated her to a LTR). Early 20’s, low n count, HB 8, student / athlete; she’s a beautiful woman with interesting hobbies who adores me; her family are somewhat attached also.

She’s just been offered her first full time job, I’m happy for her but part of her role involves a 6 month rotation in Britain. I travel a lot for business but typically less than a few weeks around 3 -4 months total of the year - I specifically reduced this down from 6 months of the years because of her as she misses me terribly during these periods.

My gut feeling is to end the relationship now however; I’ve done long distance but six months is a long time - I could travel there after business trips but even so. My mentors said I could spend a long time with this woman as I do intend on one day having children; but part of me knows AWALT and I should dump her for making this decision with exploring other options; a woman who adores me wouldn’t take a role that means such a long period.

My priest who I confide in (old school European) suggested I break up and find a woman who is younger and just wants children without ambition in career as career women are a pointless exercise. Also good advice.

What are your insights of men who have been in similar circumstances?
