Calgon, take me away

[judecorp]

So the formal offer came in from Florida and it's pretty much everything Jen wanted. My prediction is that she will be out of Massachusetts in a month's time. Sucks on many levels, but I'm especially dreading finishing all of Dad's house stuff by myself.

She has to make her official decision tomorrow and let them know. If she accepts and goes, there's really no need for me to keep that infertility appointment - I wouldn't want to go through that whole arduous and emotional process alone. I've been waiting so long for this, for the possibility of this, it's just... augh.

Having to afford a second apartment down in Florida would mean there'd be no money for airfare/visits.

So far, 2006's not looking so hot, either.

I'm sorry.... it wasn't to make you sad. It was to say I agree with you 100% and you're not alone in feeling like some things are more important than career/money.

I don't think you're mad at me... and maybe I should have sent it to Jen, but I don't know Jen that well and I love you dearly and hate seeing you hurt. I think you deserve and should be with your partner and the woman you love...

I'll be hoping that something really good and surprising comes of this.


Also... I understand that the process to have a baby will not be easy, but I suppose I would/could make the same suggestion to another couple that was using donor sperm and IVF. It's not about you and Jen both being women, it's about the method you are thinking about for your specific situation. Which I suppose is closely linked to you both being women, but I really do think the same situation can and is found in heterosexual couples as well.
