So my SO and I moved here to Az from Cali about 7 months ago. Our former roommate bailed out on us without finding a replacement for his spot and left us in a $1,350 a month rent. We couldn't do it let alone find a new place before rent was due again. So I suggested we go to Az since it's where I came from originally. It was a big step for him considering he had lived in Cali his whole life but he agreed and here we are. Needless to say his friends and family were less than thrilled. We had some probs getting settled here(a long story) but we found a place and I finally got a job with the school district here and he just started a new job at a Toyota dealership after getting laid off the week of Thanksgiving. So he decided to e-mail his friends and tell them what 's going on. Every single one of them said he should "ditch the chick." and get his butt back to Cali where he belongs and so he can get his life back on track. I don't understand we have been together for 2 years now and they still don't seem to respect the fact that we're "together" no matter what. One of them won't even so much as give me a head nod whenever I see him.
