| Re: Big Decision Hi Mylife0622,
I can completely sympathize with you in your situation. I too was faced with this about 7 years ago. I can tell you this, moving across country to be with someone is extremely hard. It's like Viking said - you are moving to somewhere where the only person you know is your boyfriend. I'm not sure if he has lived in TX before or not. If he hasn't, it would make things a bit better because the only person he will know is you, rather than having many friends while you sit at home wondering why you moved for him.
The best thing you can do here is to have a serious sit down with your boyfriend. You both need to find out what it is that you're looking for out of a relationship. See how well that matches up (and 99% of it needs to match to make a move like this work) and go from there. It will be tough for a little while when you're both adjusting to the changes. However, if you are both ready to make a commitment to this relationship, it is more than understandable to go forward with the move.
I can also tell you this, if it doesn't work out and you have to move back, you might not regret it. Sometimes we need major leaps of faith like this to learn really important lessons in life. I did and I would never look back and regret what I did. You might make life-long friends there, really enjoy the area, or even think about staying - with or without his company. Just a thought for you.
Best wishes to you! I hope you are able to work things out. |
