I’m 21.

Live in the east of England. I’ve lived in the same town for about 19 years. I didnt go to university at 18 because i had a boyfriend that i thought i would be with forever and didnt want to leave him. I have long since got over him. I work as a supervisor in a shoe shop. I recently fell in love with someone new…we had a kinda relationship that went on for 8 months or so but we never really spoke about it or made it official because he was going to university. He’s been at university for 5 or so weeks now, 4 hours away. My heart hurts and I feel empty. I know theres nothing left here in my town for me anymore. I’ve never been interested in university so i dont think thats an option for me. I still live at home with my mum and brother. My mum and dad seperated last year. My dad is moving to america next year and my mum wants to move to worcester, england. So whatever happens im going to have move..i dont think staying in lowestoft is an option as i cant afford to live alone and only have a couple of friends here. I feel so lost. I dont know where to turn, what to do. My heart hurts and i feel empty. I cant see how to get out of this slump and i miss the guy so much. HELP!

You could move away with your Mum. Get a job there and see how things turn out. But do checkout the job scene at worcester. As such your boyfriend is away at university and not sure where or how intense is your relation is going to remain. Maybe you’ll meet someone else at worcester. Have you considered that maybe your mom would like your support during her divorce and moving to a new place ?
