My Fiancé Asked Me to Move to Alaska With Him for 2 Years to Save Money—

At 25, Chloe thought she had life figured out, living in her mom’s South Carolina house with her boyfriend, Jake. While she worked as a freelance graphic designer, Jake, unemployed for eight months, lived off her income, promising to find his “passion.” Despite his proposal, Chloe carried the financial burden. Her mom, Denise, suggested they move to Alaska to live rent-free and save money by working high-paying seasonal jobs. Excited, Chloe agreed, but Jake’s enthusiasm seemed hollow.

Days before their move, Chloe returned from a girls’ trip to find her boxes packed and Jake’s new girlfriend, Maddie, in her home. Jake casually announced he wasn’t going to Alaska, claiming it wasn’t for him, and had moved Maddie in. Devastated, Chloe left for Alaska alone. Her mom welcomed her, and she thrived in a fishing job, rediscovering her strength. Friends back home evicted Jake and Maddie, securing Chloe’s house. In Alaska, Chloe met Nate, a kind, hardworking man. They built a life together, buying a house near the mountains. Alaska gave Chloe purpose, supportive friends, and true love, proving Jake’s betrayal was a blessing in disguise.
