Be honest and tell the truth about your goals and feelings. You need to do what will help you to find happiness and fulfillment. >> how do I explain this to my boss? Will he understand? A good boss would respect their employee's needs and help them out. If your boss does not care about you, then maybe you don't want them to be your boss anymore? >> I hate living here primarily because there are very few social opportunities. I am 30 soon and am thinking hard about my future. I like my job, but I do not live to work. I work to live and my life here is making me depressed. I don't know if I should spell it out further, but here goes: I want to settle down and there are basically no women here. Being that I am 30, I don't want to get stuck in some 5+ year contract in this location. Do you think you would be happy if you were at the current job and location, but newly married or otherwise with a significant other? Would it make sense (and could you afford to) take a hiatus for a year or so to see about meeting someone? Are there any "remote dating" type options where you could stay where you are, but find that special someone? A great job is hard to find and generally worth keeping if you can. The love of your life is also hard to find, but will change your life forever.
