My SO got a promotion, and with it he's going to be out of town about every other week.

I told him I'm excited for him, that even though I'll miss him it's a sacrifice I'm happy and willing to make because it's so good for his career, and our future. I don't want him to distracted during his work trips about worries about my unhappiness.

But I miss him and this is so hard actually 😔

    @jhh2450 Totally related to dev rant since we are both in tech?

    And good news, my roommate just texted me about going to the gym so I'm feeling a bit less blah and was finally able to summon the energy to get out of bed. Co-living wins again.

    I think the best way to deal with all of this is to set up my tea maker on weekends to run automatically, so I don't want to just wallow alone in bed forever

    @Christine I think he means he can relate to your situation, rather than saying its not relevant to devrant :) though the laughing faces at the end probably might mean he's joking about being able to relate.

    And thought that SO == Stack Overflow

    @Christine Yea @nightowl hit it head on.

    Can definitely relate to the part of having a significant other lol. (Sarcasm)

    @nightowl Right! How did I not think SO = stack overflow? I blame no coffee or something.

    @nightowl @Christine @jhh2450 in all fairness I thought it was Stack Overflow at first glance as well 😫😂

    Ok, I got that SO doesn't stand for Stackoverflow. But what is it, then?

    @Lobidu Significant other... As in wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancee, or more generically, partner lol

    @Yamemori Haha, we've been together almost 8 years. It's the codependency, not fears of abandonment, that bring the challenge :)
