He is the type who wants to save and buy a house 30 miles outside of town. I have a little more wan- derlust and don't see myself buy- ing a house/ apartment until I am much older. This is a fundamental difference between us, and I wonder if we could ever compromise. I can honestly say I love the man, but he has yet to say those three little words to me while sober. He has admitted to being guarded in case things don't work out, but I have tried to explain to him that a relation- ship can't succeed unless you give it your all. I know how much he cares despite his one foot out the door. He has helped me with the unexpected divorce of my parents and is always there for me. He does have some jealousy issues and some anger problems. He has told me he can see a future with me, and re- cently we talked about the whole moving in together — hence the argument on where to live. I have an opportunity with my job to move to a city in another state where many other millen- nials are flocking due to the booming tech industry and low cost of living. He told me he would not move and that we would break up if I went. I love my boyfriend, but our relationship isn't perfect, although he has been making so m e im pr ov em ent s. I am at a fork in the road and I don't know what to do. —Uncertain DEAR UNCERTAIN » You should tell your boy- friend that his attitude of being "guarded in case things don't work out" is completely justified, because things are decid- edly not working out. And then you should say, "buh-bye." This is not a fork in the road. You present a litany of red flags that should be flapping along the pathway out of this relationship: Jealousy, anger, the inability to say those "three little words" while sober (ick). If you ignore your own character, prefer- ences and professional opportunities in order to stay in this relationship, then the consequences are on you — keep your eyes open while you make your choice. DEAR AMY » I have a note for "Sober," the recovering alcoholic who doesn't want others to serve alcohol at family events. Get over yourself. You don't get to dictate what other people do. — Also in Recovery DEAR ALSO » The bulk of unkind responses to this (I thought, reason- able) request came from people claiming to also be in recovery. Quite surprising. Woman should pay attention to the red flags in relationship You can contact Amy Dickinson via email: askamy@tribpub.com and follow her on Twitter @askingamy.
