A female United States, anonymous writes:

hello, I love both of my parents, and I hate to see my mom work so hard for so little money. I want to help her by opening up a busisness; but I am currently on a long distance relationshp and I am kind of stuck in the middle. I want to help my family, but my bf and I are talking about me moving into his state. If I move I can't do the bussiness. I am not so sure whether he is worth enough to leave my family behind. He hasn't been the best behaved bf; and I 've been having doubths lately. How do I know if he loves me back and that he will always be there for me as I will always be there for him. How do I choose between him or staying my parents?... I already left once with my previous relationship and it did not work out, how do I know that this relationship is not going to fail again?..

Hi,

I really think you should put your family first. If he really loves you he will understand that they need you right now. Talk to him and see how he reacts; this will give you your answer. All the best!

i think setting up the business will be invaluable especially to your parents. and if your bf truly loves you then he will understand this. Wanting to move with your bf is an acceptable thing to do but by staying and helping your family you can live a lifetime of security knowing that your parents are taken care of. Boyfriends come and go but family is forver (cheesy but appropriate)

Butterflyfly agony auntYOu answered yourself,when you said you are not sure whether he is worth enough to leave your family behind. I understand your need for 'freedom' and doing new things in life and having a good relationship with your boyfriend, but is he really the one? Can your boyfreind move closer to you?
