I feel that i’ve made a huge mistake in my life and I am so scared at the moment.

I know this sounds pretty rediculous from the start, but I met this guy online who I actually felt I deeply loved. We met in real life and have now been going out for at least 8-9 months. There is a problem stopping me from being happy though, i’m worried if hes not the one and that i’ve basically ruined everything good thats going for me in the future I’ll be going to university in a couple of months and I was actually planning on moving to the US to start my life but since i’ve met my boyfriend i’ve just dropped the hope of my future aspects. What do I do?

Somebody please help me.

You shouldn’t have dropped your ambitions. If you’re boyfriend loves you and if he’s “the one”, then he’ll understand and support you. If he wants you to stay and quit your dreams, then, well… I guess he’s not the guy for you. Have you talked to him about this?

Yeah, he didn’t seem to keen on going but he did say he would go if he had the money but he doesn’t. So from then on I just kind of forgot about it.

well even if you have to go and have a long distance relationship than you still have to follow your dreams.

Hey…

Plenty of people manage to have a long distance relationship and make it work, and they are all the more close together in the long run.

‘Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss you will end up in the stars.’

I think you should do both things, and become that success story that most people only get a chance to dream about.

What ever you decide, i’m with you 100%, I don’t think any decision would be wrong in this case.

Its a tough decision, but I would hope you would not give up your dream. I agree your unhappiness now stems from the fact you have decided inside of you not to pursue your dream. That hope you spoke of above can really bring us down when we lose it.

If you two truly care for and about each other, then a separation to further your education shouldn’t tear your relationship apart. This is for your future. Look at your life & his life & this relationship from every angle. Search your heart. Then do what you feel is best for you.

Good luck & take care

Figure out whats more important to you, the boyfriend, or your plan for your future. Its not a bad thing to choose yourself over another. Its actually the right thing. You can get over a boyfriend. But if you sacrifice who you are for another, you most likely will end up resenting the other person for not supporting you in your dreams.

hi! that is one tricky path. let me see….how does the other person deal with your plan of going to the university? uhm, would be much better if you are going to pursue your dream AND at thesame time take the relationship with you. you both have all the reasons in the world to keep the relationship no matter the distance. ‘would not be easy but that’s love. and after all, if you guys want it to work, then it will. :o)

Don’t ever give up on you. No man is worth that. Believe in yourself, give yourself the gift of an education. I severely believe that you will regret it if you do not continue your education.

Deep down inside you already know what to do - and that is what is causing your confusion.
Relax, listen to your breathing, ask yourself ‘what do I do now’ and then go and do something physical so that you can’t ‘think’ about the answer.
be open to messages from songs on the radio, overheard snatches of conversation, billboards, or strong gut feelings.
Trust your intuition.
Bless you
