Should I move with my bf or go it alone?

Question

I have been planning for a while now to move to California when I graduate. My bf is going to go to law school in D.C. We've talked about moving together, but there's really nothing for me in DC, and he feels the same way about Cali. He wants me to do what's best for me.

I feel like I really should go through with my plan and go to Cali. But it makes me feel SO sad to think about leaving him, or never seeing him. I picture saying goodbye to him in the airport and I know I'll be bawling my eyes out!

I've considered just going with him to DC. But that feels like I'm just following someone else and not fulfilling my own dreams. I'll always wonder what could have been, no matter what I choose. I'm so conflicted!

Can anyone give me any help or advice?

Answer 1

I live about 20 minutes from D.C. and it's really a great place, I mean there is lots to do here so just know that if you are going to live in D.C., then it's not like you will be bored all of the time and have nothing to do, I mean who knows, maybe you will like it more than California  

Answer 2

apparently this is not a real love relationship for you....other wise the adventure of cali would not be so appealing....When its truely love..a person is always more important than a location.

Answer 3

my best friend just had this same similar situation. don't give up your dreams. go to california. it is always heartbreaking leaving behind someone you care for but you don't want to regret not following your dreams.
