I don't often post on here but I have read most threads daily since about 2003.
Background
I have recently taken a job in Cambridge by the airport there. I had to take this job as my girlfriend has worked for bio tech companies in Cambridge since May 2011 and she is qualified in bio chemistry. My girlfriend is from Maldon and Cambridge is the closest hub for the bio chemistry industry to home. She believes that she will have a good career and stay in the bio tech industry up in Cambridge for the next 25 years.
As I have taken this new role in Cambridge, I will find a property to rent and share with the girlfriend. Now the issue, My girlfriend has got it in to her head that we could live in Bishop’s Stortford (As many of her work colleagues do) and drive to work everyday.
I checked Google maps and to my work from Bishop’s Stortford is just short of 30miles one way, therefore it will be 60 miles x 5 days a week. My girlfriend’s work is approx the same distance as it is for me but we can’t car share as I have to travel around and have different working hours to her.
This is causing a major argument and she can’t seem to get it that between us we would travel 600miles a week which not only would rinse the petrol but the poor car would soon tire out also (further costs).Personally I want to live within a comfortable commute as I have always done for the past 8 years.
I would appreciate some sensible comments so I can have a good conversation with her!
