Ok all, I need your opinion. About 3 yrs ago me and S/O went to sleeping in separate beds and over the years the beds have gotten farther apart. We now have 2 night stands separating our beds and it feels like I have a roommate than a S/O. And lately The S/O has taken to walking away from me while I am trying to talk to her. So I get very little conversation. I can be watching a T.V show and she will start watching the same show, in the other room. She has now began to push the idea of me getting a full time job, the job I do have supports us ok, but she is worried about benefits. I work 2 jobs as it is to support us, the second job is really not needed,(she does not work). The only catch with that is there are no full time jobs in the area where we live for my job. Which means I will have to leave the state. It sounds like a good idea to me due to not really liking this part of the country anymore. As for her going with me any area that I have thought of she has found something wrong with. I think it is just a matter of time and the inevitable is near but I just would like to have some input of what some of you think. Thanks

Sounds like she doesn't like you very much. And if she's not working, obviously she's not that concerned about money or benefits...if she had a part time job, it would probably cover the costs of benefits.

Time to have a sit down discussion about moving on.

You should move to find a full time job and don't bring her along.

That's the last straw right there.
Time to look for a new room mate.
Get separate bedrooms this time.

All the signs point to a separation. It's time for you to move on with your life and her to get a job and move on with hers. That is, if she won't talk to you about the whole situation. Otherwise, you're both being robbed of time spent finding happiness with someone who truly wants to be with you.
