Many of you are probably wondering why i don’t post so much anymore. It’s because my personal life has been a little bit of a roller coaster. Self-inflicted, no less.
I have a girlfriend who i have been with for a long time, 8 years. We bought a house together, and have lived in it for two years. My house is great, but is in a small town that i don’t really like.
I started working at a high-end advertising agency in Toronto, roughly 2.5 hours away. So i was driving this distance, everyday, yeah money was good. After a little while, i was offered a job at another firm, where i am currently, money was better. I’ve been here for almost 6 months.
Somewhere during the course of working in the city, i started meeting a lot of people. Old and new friends that somehow ended up back in my life. Some of them were female…
I have found myself bored by my relationship. I’m a natural flirt and niceguy, so i have a hard time with women.(not being cocky, but i attract them) I know a long relationship takes alot of work and i have tried, i love my girlfriend to death, but i wanted more.
I found myself becoming friends with a girl, we hung out more and had alot of fun together. It slowly started to take the shape of a relationship, i stayed at her house a couple times to avoid the drive home from the city. Things developed further. I found myself having a harder and harder time keeping the two separate as they are both a major part of my life.
Then it happened, I called my girlfriend from my new crushes house, talked with her, advised her that I wasn’t coming home for the night, i was staying with a friend. My BlackBerry is broken, i accidentally pressed a button later when she was the last person I called. She picked up the phone and nobody was there, but she could hear people. What she heard was not what she wanted to hear, not what any girlfriend wants to hear…
She called me back, and explained what she had heard, i was caught. I talked with her for the rest of the night. I explained my boredom, i have explained it before and we tried to change alot, but still the same deal.
I am finding that i am not so much bored with my relationship, but with my life. I live in a house i own, have three cars, a steady job where i make a lot of money, a girlfriend who i can pee with the door open, and a lawn i mow every week, and i’m 24. I am the oldest 24 year old i know.
I have decided the only way i can fix this is with a drastic change. So i want to move with my girlfriend, i want to see more of the world before I’m old. I don’t know exactly where I’m moving, but I’m a web designer with freelance experience, i can work anywhere i want, if i have to.
I am thinking out west, maybe south west Alberta, i love that area. I was also thinking about Paris. Bottom line, I’m not sure.
Let me know where you like and I will research it.
