writes:Hey guys, I'm currently bored to death with my job. It pays relatively well, but it's a dead-end street - no room for progression and no chance of a payrise in the next few years - they've literally spelled that out to me.I've been with my boyfriend for a looong time now, but I don't know whether he'll ever commit to me. I love him and he loves me, but we've had some problems the past couple of years. I've been offered a job on the other side of the country. I'll be earning half the wage I'm on now, but the plus side is that I'll be kickstarting my career as a reporter. I'm newly qualified and haven't had a foot in the door as yet. The money situation worries me and also the fact I will know no one, but I'm starting to think it's a good opportunity to take some time out for myself. Although, it will be hellishly stressful and high-pressured, but at least I'll be carving a niche so to speak.I have this fantasy that maybe moving away from my boyfriend will resolve things with us either way. Either, he'll miss me so much and the idea of losing me will be too much to bear and he'll follow me or want to make a real commitment i.e. get engaged.. or it opens me up to meet someone new.. either way at least it's progression from where I am now.. and at my current age, I really feel the need to move forward somehow in SOME area of my life.I have to give an answer by today. I'm freaking out. I have no idea what I'm going to do.Leaving my boyfriend feels like leaving the only home I've ever known. Moving to a new place I've never been fills me with fear and dread. But I don't want to just live in the safe zone all my life because it's the easiest thing. The typical choice for me, the choice I've ALWAYS made, is to stay where I am.. but it's just not working for me!What do you think sounds the best thing?
