brutal honesty

[fuerstma]

On vacation with my girlfriend of two years..

We had each had a number of beverages over the evening, so I mention that I was applying for a position with Sony Entertainment in another state. I mention this because it's cool and I think it would be fun to talk about the possibilities. She seems enthused and interested.

Fast forward hours later, I have to pay "the tax" for this question. Really should have known this was coming..

"So if you get the job, what happens to us?"

I play it completely straight forward, that I think I would move out there, get settled in the job, housing, life, moving states, etc... situation and then we'd see what's shaking. I guess I can see "most guys" saying that means "I am moving the hell out of this state to get away from you, read between the lines" but I have literally never lied or been deceptive to her in 2 years, what you see is what you get (I'm an awful liar and was lied to miserably in my last relationship).

Well, we didn't speak pretty much the rest of the night, in spite of my pleadings "well lets talk about this" and "what I said and mean isn't anything like how you are taking it". I fully realize/understand women to the point that for (most) women, this is a black and white question ("either you're taking me with you or you aren't") but I naively expected something better.

She's been asleep next to me for a half hour now while I aimlessly surf using the hotels Internet.

Sigh.

That is all.

I'd imagine, short of a personal blog, it's the only message board you could post something like this and it NOT get locked before the second post.

So, you want to break up.

People don't like honesty if it fucks up their high.

People don't like a lot of things if it fucks up their high. Happiness is such a value commodity to people that they would sacrifice anything to get it.

Which is why I hate people.

Bonus points if you hum the Mission: Impossible theme while you do it.
