I know I really should let him go becasue this could be his only way of having any type of a good career in life. He won't get his GED or keep a job. I love him very much and breaking it off with him is the last thing I want to do. What would you do in my situation? Should I let him go? Reply to this Question Share |

Hard as it seems, you gotta let him do this. He will resent you for ever more if you stop him. If this is something that he really wants to do and all thats standing in his way is you, and he stays so as not to upset you then the long term affect could be that you would end up splitting up as he would hold resentment to you for stopping him. Tell him your fears, and see if you cant make this work, but this could be your only shot, pretty much kinds dammed if you dammed if you dont, if you let him go you will miss him but you may still have your relationship, dont let him go and you run the bigger risk of losing him anyway! Its time to act a little selfless in this, tell him how much you love him and that you dont want him to go, but understand its something he wants to do, and you feel that he should pursue his dream, but let him know that you want to continue to make a go of things even if he goes, many people manage this, could be the making of the both of you. Dont think about how it makes you feel, if you love him, think about whats best for him.
Take care x
