We had a long discussion today. I think most of the problem is that we're living in Texas and I absolutely LOATHE it here and long to live in California. He just got his long-coveted research funding and has to stay in Dallas for a while longer - trouble is, it could take up to a year, and I really don't want to waste more of my time here. I'd really like to go out there in early summer and start studying for the California bar exam, then get a job doing something while waiting for him to finish up here and come out there. Even if it's not the Bay Area, it'd sure as hell be better than Texas. Some people love Texas, but I am NOT one of them. I think he's resigned himself to the idea that I might do that. I DON'T want to break up - I just want to live where I want to live for a change. We moved to Pittsburgh for his job, then to Dallas for his job - if his next location is Miami or Buffalo or Blue Eye, Missouri (there IS such a place), I think I'll SCREAM! I feel selfish, but damn it, this is how I feel.

It's been a very emotional day.
