Cliff's:
-- Graduating from Computer Engineering in April 07; have a good job lined up in Toronto
-- Girlfriend of six months lives 8 hours away; we see each other about once a month for a week and talk every night (thank god for Skype). I've had more than a dozen girlfriends in my life and this girl and I are as close as it gets to a perfect match, which is why we've tolerated the distance
-- Girlfriend is also graduating in April 07, but does not have any job anywhere as of yet; she is willing to move to Toronto and get any job she can (e.g. teaching piano lessons, being a nanny) until she finds a job in her field (school counseling)
On the one hand, I'd really like to finally be in the same city as my girlfriend, and living together would be awesome. I find Toronto to be a very lonely place despite its size (I've lived there before), and it would be great to have her with me.
On the other hand, what if we end up breaking up? I'd be fine, but I'd feel horrible for her: she'd be alone in a city where she has no friends or family. She would have moved there just for me. Obviously I don't see us breaking up and I wouldn't just kick her out on the street, but there's a certain permanence to the whole arrangement that worries me.
