So..........

After being here a month, finally finding a place to live (with luck - seeing it tomorrow but it looks very good) that meets our criteria (away from town, no neighbors close by, rustic, affordable, close to water and trails) - my SO does not want to move to Alaska.

I feel like swearing. Crying. Drinking.

Oh that is just awful. So many of your questions before coming up had to do with him and things for him to do etc. What is his reasoning for this?

Well by golly, you are in one of the best places to find a replacement!

The odds are good, but the goods may be a bit odd...

Hope all works out for you! Would suck starting out on an adventure and finding the "Crew" abandon ship at the dock...

Wow. I wasn't really familiar with your story, but read a few of your posts and it seems to be a plan you both were a part of. I'd ditch him. That's really crappy, and unforgivable. I know if a gal did that to me, it'd be over immediately.

Maybe he's having a male PMS-type thing? Try to stay calm and talk to him in a day or two, or three? Kind of depends on what you want, and he has heard you talk about the mental unrest, maybe he is trying to 'help' you make a decision? Just another thought..., but hoping for what you really want

So sorry to hear he's let you down. Maybe he just has cold feet and will change his mind? You must feel so alone right now. What is his reason?

Bummmer and not the Montana kind. Sorry...

Reason again?? This (sounds horrible at this moment though) at least he is being honest and your not going to get into anything requireing him for help, right? sigh that sucks.

I really hope it all works for the best for both of you moving together where you want and he also! Be careful how you tread water now. Good luck! Cheers to you and positive energy it will work out for you best!!!

I really think if he would have taken a few days up here he might have felt better about it but since he didn't want to do it, I think he just has cold feet. It is a big move and a big change. So what do you think you will do after you cuss and have a drink? Sorry to hear this.

Let me add this: I am thinking that all along he was hoping you wouldn't like it and would change your mind and then when he found out you were checking out a house he realized you were serious and then had to tell you how he felt.

How do you feel about your job, living in Juneau, etc. Is it what you truly want? How would you feel returning to TN.? And most important is how much you love you're SO.
