im in a long distance relationship right now. my boyfriend is in texas for school and stays with family during the summer down there so hes pretty much living there now. very soon him, his best friend, and his best friends girl are gonna get an appartment. and he wants me to move down there with them. right now im about 10ish hours away because im stuck in illinois. but im all for living down there. but i dont know how to handle leaving my family and my best friend. so my question is: do you think i should take the offer of going down there and leave my life in illinois, or stay put? im really lost and confused and dont really know what to do. oh, and we've been together 2 1/2 years if that makes any difference for anyone.
Are you going to school at the moment? Do you currently have a job? How long is he in school? Does he plan on living in Texas after graduating? I think it's a bit of a leap and I'm not sure if it's a good idea. It really depends on what you have to leave behind and if it's in your best interests. You don't want to close doors behind yourself on a leap of faith. Not to mention moving in together is a big step in your relationship. Are you ready for that?
soon ill be taking a few classes to get my gen. eds. outta the way. nope. hes got about 3 years left. pretty much. a good majority of his family is there.
Sounds like it could be a fun life starting adventure, but also looks like it could lead to problems, if he is the only thing your moving to, what happens when you guys get serious problems? Where/who will you go to down there? Not to mention your moving in with him and a couple other dudes. That's kinda crowded imo. I think if you go, leaving your family and friends might cause you to become homesick REAL fast. Illinois to Texas is a nice chuck of map. 2 and half years only seems like a lot if that's your longest relationship, I would either try to do random visits sometimes, or just break it off. Hope everything works out.
only move down there for YOU. but maybe it's cause i don't believe in moving somewhere for someone unless you got great future plans in the works for moving there too. yes i'm sure you love him and all but what does moving to texas benefit for you? cause what happens if you move there and you guys break up. then you're basically shit outta luck. big time. not trying to jinx anything but unless you have some sort of back up plan -- you really need to think extremely carefully for this situation. best of luck though to you!
Once you get into a fight you'll be pretty fucked. *Hint* All couples get into a fight eventually. *Hint* You'll have no one to fall back one (Parents, friends, etc) You dont have a job planned. You've never lived with someone on your own. But then again life is all about taking risks and you're young enough to make mistakes. Its all up to you. I don't know enough of your life or his life to even make a decision for you.
