Today, I told my boyfriend I'll be moving to a different state in a few months for a new job. He now refers to me as his "girlfriend for now". FML

Have you two spoken about this before? I mean, was this info out of nowhere? Maybe he's hurt that you're moving and doesn't really know what to say. Communicate if you havent!

Spread your wings and put the feelers out for a new boyfriend.

This makes very little sense now...

Well, you have to consider, he may be a bit hurt that you are gonna be going away, especially after not even consulting him about whether you should take this potential job. It is your decision, but maybe you should've made that decision with people that are important to you. He may think that a long distance relationship won't work, as it so often doesn't.

Yeah, what else would you do in his place?

It's good you're weeding the bad ones out early. Don't let a relationship hold you back. Live your life, excel at your job, and love will find you.

sounds awfully sudden. thats a huge expectation for him to uproot his life for you.

it doesn't sound like she was expecting him to uproot and move with her- I also recently moved across the country for a job but my boyfriend and I are doing long distance for a little while until I find something closer to our agreed upon "settling down" area. It's possible OP was anticipating a temporary long distance situation. what we don't know, though, is if she told him that she was considering a job out of state.

How long is the average moth exactly?

What the heck else is he supposed to call her?? She "informed him" sounds like no prior discussion, she clearly doesnt take this relationship seriously or plan on continuing it.

I guess he can't understand that you probably have mixed feelings about it to try not to take it too personally op. Good luck with the move and job

It's gonna take an awful lot more than "a few" moths to move you and your stuff to another state. Might wanna get a few more.

Not necessarily. The first time I moved it was within a week.
