I had everything planned out, then love got in the way

Question - (13 July 2013) 5 Answers - (Newest, 19 July 2013)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone, I need a bit of advice. Basically for the past year I have been dreaming of spending my life (or at least the rest of my 20's) travelling. So I worked hard to create my own online business that I can take around the world with me.

Everything went to plan except 4 months before I left I fell in love. With a guy I've been friends with for 2 years. It was stupid to start seeing him but I didn't think I'd end up in love with him, we both knew from the start it had an end date.

However that end date came and we broke it off - but it didn't last. Since he's been out to visit me while travelling and now I am back home after only 2 short months to visit him.

We've spoken about me coming back for good. He wants me to and I do too. As amazing as travelling has been I've always had this part of me thinking about and missing him. It's only when I'm with him that I feel really happy and content.

My problem is that this wasn't supposed to happen! I still want to travel but I don't think I can leave him so I'm stuck in limbo. I literally cannot make this decision but the clock is ticking and I need to make it soon. To travel and break up or to not travel and stay together.

What I'd like to know is what other people would do in my situation. But really in my situation. Not with just some disposable guy, I mean somebody you really feel like you could have a future with.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Thanks for the answers but the problem is and I should have mentioned, is that he does not want to travel. It's just not an option that he comes with me.

I pretty much just want to know what you guys would choose in my situation? Love or travel? Maybe it'll help..

Thanks

Dionee' agony auntEither travel together, travel first or stay with him and give up traveling.

So what i suggest is you guys travel together. Changes in scenery may aid the development of the relationship.

Don't be angry that love came along. Things often don't go according to plan even when you work so hard to ensure that they do. Now you just have to take a leap of faith and hope things work out instead of running away and wondering "what if"

I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem here. You're upset because you fell in love and found a man you may want to spend your life with? I don't see any reason why you can't do it all, sister. Good luck!
