My boyfriend wants to move to Las Vegas... and he wants me to go with him. What do I do?

My boyfriend wants to move to Las Vegas... and he wants me to go with him. What do I do? My boyfriend of almost 2 years wants to move to Las Vegas next year (sometime '08).

He has a cousin who lives out there so he has a place to go and a job to go to. He wants me to go with him but I really don't want to go. It's not that I don't care about him, I love him more than anything.

I hate the heat, I've worked hard at my job to get where I am and I still have higher to go, I don't want to leave my friends and family. I asked why he can't stay, and he said he just wants to go. I don't know what to do.Do I go with him and leave what I consider to be my life behind, or do I stay and attempt the long distance thing?

I've done long distance before and it was the worst. Asked by ClairDeLune 48 months ago Similar questions: boyfriend move Las Vegas Lifestyle > Relationships.

You must look out for you and only YOU! It sounds to me as if you know what to do, but just want some encouragment... Your boyfriend has "a place to go and a job to go to"...but does he have a career? Because it sounds like you are working towards your career goals, while he is not.

You could move to Timbuktu and get a job there too - but that isnt a career... Sounds to me like your boyfriend is selfish and is only considering himself: HE doesn't mind the heat, HE has family there, HE has a place to live, HE can find work. What about YOU?!?!?!?!"Oh yeah - wanna come with me? " If not, you might want to stick to home and tell him that you do not want to leave your family, friends and LIFE behind for him.

Best of Luck. I could never live in Vegas either...

I would advise against the long-distance idea.It sounds like this could be permanently a long distance relationship, which wouldn’t work out so well. If it was for a temporary, defined time, things would be different. Part of relationships is sacrifice, however you should only have to sacrifice so much for someone who wants you along but hasn’t committed for life.

*Unless he’s flashed a diamond ring, then he’s asking you for a higher level of commitment than he himself is offering. * If you leave your own life behind, it had better be to start a new life with him. In marriage, someone’s career is going to get compromised at some point.

That’s how it is. Moms have babies, someone gets offered a promotion in another city, etc... But if this is just dating, that’s different. If you are not at the point in your life where either of you are ready to get married, then maybe this move is a deal-breaker.

Anyway, I know these are things that are much easier said than done, and this is probably more complex than I know, but I hope I was able to offer some ideas for you to toss around. Best wishes. Sources: opinion .

Stay where you are He clearly is not as in love with you as you are with him, or he would have at least asked you to go as his wife! Wish him well, cry a few tears, and let him go. Stay where you know you belong until someone comes along that you belong with even more than you belong with your family.

When I first got into a car with the man I am married to, I had the strangest feeling. It was "I am home. " That feeling has never left.

Wherever he goes, I will be home with him. Unless that is your reaction to someone, don't get deeply involved. I'm an old fuddy duddy that way....

Vegas Chapels Just start talking to him about how many "quick-Wed Chapels" there are in Vegas. He might change his mind and stay! Kidding, of course.

If you don't want to go, then by all means, don't. It would add stress and resentment to what sounds like a good relationship. Good Luck!.

I you think that you would marry him then go. If he's not marriable stay. As you said there is no reason for you to move other than for him.

I you don't think that you will marry him then there is no reason to go with him. If you were married you would be moving probably whether you liked it or not. It's probably better to get advice from a married person instead of a single one on that.

If you have never moved before then it might be fun to move even though it is scarry to go. Are you moving closer or away from family? I wouldn't do the long distance thing.

If he moves then I would consider the relationship over, but it's just my opinion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
