My boyfriend and i love eachother very very much. i finally have found someone who accepts me and appreciates me the way I am.i love him so much. he told me that his family is planning to move soon. not sure exactly when, but that it is going to happen eventually. Now, we are both juniors in high school and i'm still not even 18 years old. He asked me to come with him- either i go or its over. my heart cannot take this. i want to go because i love him but i want to stay because of my family. i love my dad so much and he's given his whole life to raising me and my brother all alone. i dont know what to do because im stuck in the middle.he asked me today if i would go with him or not when the moment comes-and i said i dont know-we were about to break up because he doesnt want it to hurt more if i decide not to go in the end. does anyone have any advice on what i should do or what should be done??? please help me.i dont want to lose someone that truly cares for me. please tell me anything to help me make some decisions.. |

Do you want to spend the rest of your life with him? If so, yes. At one point you're going to have to learn to move away from your family, yes you can visit, and you'll never fully part away from them; but I say yes, if you trust that you two will be together for a long time. |

If you feel he is the 'one' for you then go. Your family will always be there for you and you will never have truly left them. Good luck and I hope all goes well. |

Ok. I don't know everything about the situation, but my insticnt would be to stay with your family. If your boy is your one true love, then I don't see why a year or two away would need to make much of a difference. It seems, from your description, that he's forcing you to make an unfair choice. Who tells a 17 year old to decide, in a moment, the rest of their life? You shouldn't have to "prove your love" by giving up your life, I don't think. Anyways, it doesn't seem like he's proving it if he's essentially saying "it wouldn't be worth loving you if we're kind of far away for a while." Long-distance relationships can work, if you are both committed and good at communicating. This is a really hard situation, and I'm sorry you've been put with it. |

Oh my god we have the same situation...sorta. i'm 16 and me and my boyfriend are juniors....we've been together for 13 months and i love him to death. problem though....he's going to PA for college and i'm staying here. i know the first reaction is to go with them rite? but me him have talked it over and our futures are the most important things. i could never ask him to stay behind and give it up for me and visa versa and your boyfriend shouldn't either. if you love each other as muxh as you say you do, which sounds alot like me and my boyfriend, then you have to let him go. i know it makes oyu sad, but talk all the time....visit from time to time, if he loves than he'll be there in a few years. |

Thank you guys soo much! you are all wonderful and it has put some thoughts into my head. one thing i didnt think about though: if he really does love me then he would want me to be happy and wouldnt make me have to choose. but i know he loves me and i love him too. and yeah wow our situation is very much alike. isnt it tough??Thank you all for your advice i really appreciate it! love you all take care. |

Britt, I'm offended : ) I may be nuts, but I did agree with you. Or... you agreed with me. Or, more likely, you didn't read what I wrote because you were spitting mad from the above posts. aaaaaaaeieie |
