Confused about love
Thu, 04-15-2004 - 12:06am
I am 23 yrs. old and have been dating a guy who is 27 yrs. old for a year and a half now. Things have been pretty good overall; he treats me like gold, tells me how much he loves me everyday and that there is no one else for him. I do love him but i'm not sure if I'm as in love with him as he is with me and he is so much more dependent on me than I am on him. All of his friends are married or engaged and he's on that path...which I won't be for awhile. I've graduated college recently and moved back to my hometown (which i despise) but so I could be closer to him. He's going to graduate school and won't be done for about 3 years or so, but i've realized how much I don't like being here. All I think about is finding a job where my friends are and having fun in the city right now. The first year of our relationship was long distance, which was really hard for me but he says if I wanted to move it would be okay with him, even though I know how upset he would be. Do you think I should stay and try to work on this relationship, try the long distance thing again or move and call it quits?
