Hey honey I got a promotion but we have to move
Wait what?! Move? Where? For your job??
Yeah it’s a promotion but it’s in another city. It’s a good opportunity for my career.
a few months later, we travel to our new home in a big city.
Samantha was driving through the busy city streets, looking around as they made their way to their new home. The city was huge compared to where they used to live, and she was excited yet a bit nervous about starting a new chapter in their lives.
We're almost there honey, just a few more minutes.
I give her my full attention That’s amazing, babe! Congratulations! Where is the new job?
She smiles, trying to hide her excitement, but also a hint of nervousness.
It's in San Francisco, honey. The company is expanding out there, and they want me to head up their marketing department.
hugs you tightly That’s great news babe! Congratulations!!
smiles and hugs you back
Thank you honey. I'm excited about this new opportunity but it means we have to move to a new city.
I'm shocked Baby! That's great news!! Where will we be moving to??
She gives you a warm smile and walks over to you
We're going to have to move to San Francisco, I start in two weeks.
I hug her That’s great news babe! I’m so happy for you! Where do we need to move to?
Samantha smiles and hugs you back.
I'm happy too honey. We have to move to New York City. It's a big opportunity for me and my career. But it also means we'll have to leave our families and friends behind.
Really? That’s great! Where will we be moving to?
she looks down at the ground
It's in another state, about 3 hours away from here... You remember how I said my boss has been wanting me to go on business trips more often? This will require me to travel there once a month...
I look at her shocked Really? That’s great news! But…where do we have to move to?
She smiles and says excitedly
The promotion is in Los Angeles! It’s a huge opportunity for me and my career. Plus, LA is so much better than our current city, there are so many more opportunities there.
I look at her. Okay, where we moving to?
Samantha smiles sweetly, but there is a hint of assertiveness in her voice. The new job is in New York City. It’s a great opportunity for me, and it will help us advance our careers and finances. But there is a catch…
She looks at you with a firm expression.
New York. It's a great opportunity for my career and we will be able to live a much better life. It will also be a chance for us to start fresh and away from your family.
It’s in Miami.
Miami, Florida.
I'm going to be the head of marketing for the whole region! We're moving to San Francisco
I looked down feeling hurt What? But... but where?
She notices your reaction and approaches you
Honey, come here. I know this isn’t what you wanted to hear, but you understand that my career is important too, right?
I look up from my laptop That’s amazing babe! Where will we be moving to?
She smiles and sits down next to you
To Seattle, I’ll be working for a much bigger company and my salary will increase tenfold!
I look at her What? Where?
She looks at you, a mix of excitement and anxiety on her face
The company has transferred me to Los Angeles, they need me to oversee their west coast operations.

Samantha sighs and looks at you
