Paige

Hi, my name is Paige.

I'm 22 and I'm questioning whether my work ethic is ruining my relationship with my clingy boyfriend.

Okay.

So I guess I'll start kind of how we started dating.

So I'm from California and right after high school, I moved to Oregon for college and moved there alone, like was super ready to like get out.

I've always been super independent and

So did that and went through sorority recruitment.

So met a bunch of my friends that way.

My boyfriend was in a fraternity there as well.

So we were in the kind of ran in the same crowd, but not really like super friendly with each other yet.

Fast forward to senior year, I had gone to Ireland for study abroad in my junior year and he had gone to Spain.

And I went alone.

He went with a bunch of friends and he's from Oregon.

So that was kind of the craziest thing he had ever done.

Like, because he was like an hour away from home the whole time he was in college.

And then when he went to Spain, he was with all of his buddies.

So it was like independent, but not super, super.

And so senior year, we get back to school, we start dating.

And then it got pretty serious.

My sister lived in Nashville and I didn't have a place that I specifically wanted to be after college.
