Dear Diana,
I’ve been in a relationship with my girlfriend for the last seven years. We live together. She’s doing well in her career as an educationist. I’m a sports guy and I’ve spent a lot of time and money to become a fully qualified mountain instructor. My issue is that my job is taking me all over the world. I’ve just spent six weeks in the French Alps and on the day of my return, my partner turned round and said if I continue to travel for work, it’s over. I understand having a travelling partner is never going to be easy. However I’ve been offered a position that I don’t think will happen again if I reject. My partner knows about this offer and a few months ago she was all for me taking it. However, this has since changed. She refuses to compromise. She now wants marriage, a home and a kid. I told her this will also happen, but she refuses to wait.
