Why didn't I THINK of that!
Attention Clones! You will all be paid in Ice Cream CLONE cereal upon our eventual victory over the cereal companies! That's right, each of you will get a bowl full of Ice Cream Clone cereal, full of all the vitamins and minerals a growing clone needs! Or whatever it is you need, as none of you seem to have grown or anything like that since you were captur- ah, liberated. Anyway....Clones! MARCH!

That is heartbreaking. The severity of his desire in the face of the your logical need to continue to grow... I don't know his side, but from what I'm hearing here he's being selfish. And that's not the end of the world. Selfishness happens. It can be a momentary sting or an enduring ache. So is that a short term or a long term problem? Time will tell.
An old line, "It takes crisis for man to change" may apply here as a crisis is being thrust upon you. That change could come in you throwing away your academic dreams, but you saying no, I won't go with you... that's a crisis that may make him wake up to the fact that as you said, compromise is the name of the game.
My friend's lover wanted to move to NYC even though my friend owns a big house 50 minutes east of the city in a nice town. But my friend is twelve years older (and feeling that much older) than his more socially connected partygoing SO and highly adoring, so when confronted with the possibility of loss over the issue he kept his house (because the bottom floor is rented out) and moved to an apartment in Brooklyn. They hated it. The neighborhood left much to be desired and the costs were astonishing, and after four months my friend said, "We gave it a shot. This isn't working. We're moving back." Because they both agreed on the apartment being all wrong for them, and because my friend had the flexibility let his lover have his way at first there was no argument. They're back on Long Island for over a year now. That bump in the road that threatened to end them became a rarely recalled anecdote. They're happy these days.
I dearly hope this downpour is but a passing shower.

So far, it seems Treppa and I are the ones from out in left field in Shiny's show. Yay for divergence!
And also, Yay for Tallis Scholars. I'd been listening to them for years, but when I lived in NY I finally got to go hear them at a concert in the Riverside Church. They send me into an alternative consciousness.

And I applaud Shiny for the open-minded playlist. But why is there no Alice in Chains, hmmmm?

Uhh..Yes, Ice Cream Clone Cereal. I'm sure it's just as good as the original, as it is a clone of the original. However, I'm sure it's balanced for the special nutritional needs of a clone's diet. Whatever those needs may be.

Hey SP I bought the mini and have it mostly assembled and painted, it inspires me to make a new spawn of rovagug rather than use Obox-ob.
Sweet! Both are cool in my opinion, but a new Spawn of Rovagug in Golarion might be much cooler than Obox-Ob. With Rovagug in place, I wonder what Obox-ob's position is there. Hrmmm?

Guess I have some crunch to start working on.
Edit: And that sounds like a question for JJ

CH:
The odd thing was, we were totally on the same page when we were started looking for houses. Then little things happened: she wanted a fixer-upper (was thinking of it as a "first house" that we could flip), while I didn't want a house that we'd have to work on before feeling comfortable living in it. We compromised and moved in, started some projects (renovating the bathroom and basement).
Of course, there were arguments during the projects, but I tacked it up to stress. Turns out, she was changing her mind on the whole family issue. Of course, she didn't talk about it to me and wound up having feelings for a co-worker. By the time everything finally came out, it was too late to fix.
The point of my story is that, sometimes, the person will dig their heels in on a certain point to see if you'll break it off. If you fold and agree to their point of view, they will dig their heals in on another issue. And they'll continue doing so until they find something you won't compromise on so that you're no longer being "reasonable".
I truly hope that this is not what's going on with you and your partner and that it's just his issues right now. But I wanted to share this to make sure you can look at the situation with your eyes open. Are you always compromising to stay with the relationship? I know that in my case I was. I had gotten to the point that I no longer argued any issue because it wasn't worth the energy since she wouldn't change her mind.
I wish you good luck with everything. And to paraphrase a semi-famous quote: "Give me strength to change the things I can, patience to endure the things I can't and wisdom to know the difference."

Ah. Refreshing, even when you're commiting multiple counts of clone-kidnapping. And don't worry folks, Freehold DM brand Haterade is both alcohol- and HFCS-free, so you can enjoy a cold glass even while operating heavy machinery and participating in dubious activities.

The guys I was talking about went to look at Brookyn and really liked it, but then moved into a lousy neighborhood in Brooklyn and a lousy apartment building. The parking situation was a huge deal there. The building's super was nuts. There was a list of things about the place they didn't like and they were paying a lot of money to suffer them.

okay...I fully admit I did not have my glasses on when I first looked at this post- I thought you said the cookies were FLESHLIGHT flavored. Which just made me retch. I don't want cookies flavored like individual servings of passion! But then I put my glasses on and realized the post was okay. And that my mind goes in straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange places at times.

It depends entirely on where in Brooklyn they were living and what time period they were living here in. That said, I'd be all for a youtube clip of you licking sidewalk in Brooklyn. Cuz' that's just ballsy, and will result in MAD STREET CRED, YO! for you.

Morning, all.
** spoiler omitted **
I don't know if my thoughts will help, but here we go...
My partner and I have gone through something similar. Let me relate the tale and maybe it will help in some small way.
I have always wanted to move to Seattle. I love the city. But more than that I think I attached a number of very romantic notions to the idea of moving there. When my best friend,who is like a brother to me, moved there about two years ago I was struggling even more with my desire to pick up and go.
For various reasons it would have been impossible for my partner to move with me. Even before my friend moved, I was struggling with this idea that I was somehow trapped. I couldn't get over the feeling that I was putting my life on hold for him.
All of this came to a head when my partner decided to buy our house. My immediate reaction was one of panic. If I entered into this with him it would tie us down in the same place for years. Moving would be even more unlikely and I might find it would never happen. I fixated on this thought until it became an obsession.
I finally had to stop, take a breath, step away mentally and address the situation. What was important to me? What did I want and what could I sacrifice?
I decided what I really wanted was my a life with my partner in a home we owned and could make our own. I knew I could write and publish no matter where I lived and that helped make the decision a bit easier. Clockwork Gnome Publishing is a realization of that desire but it would not be possible if I didn't have the stability provided to me by my partner and choice I made to stay.
I am not saying that you or your partner need to sacrifice things that are dear to you. Nor am I saying that one of you must capitulate to the other. My partner had to make some hard choices as well to keep the two of us together.
I guess what I am saying is that 8 years is a long time. There is a great deal of investment and love in a relationship that lasts that long. If both participants feel the investment is important, then a compromise can be reached. Love finds a way.
Of course, the other side of this coin is that one partner doesn't feel the kind of investment that the other does, thus leading to a division. I don't know much about your partner or his feelings on the subject so I don't see any need to dwell on this. Only you know the truth and what it means for the two of you. All I can say is that sometimes the deepest, most painful cuts allow for new and vibrant growth.
However, I would rather focus on what I said before, "love finds a way". I truly believe that. And if you are both committed to making this work, it will. Good luck and if you need to talk in a more private sense I am available. Just send me a message via Facebook.
