writes:Hay there aunts and uncles. Hope you can help!So the story is - ive recently got back with an ex b'f of mine but having doubts about the relationship, not because I don't love him because i do but because i want to travel abroad.My whole life ive wanted to travel and when i left college aged 17 i organised to go, i booked my flights, packed my bags- the works but then my mum and nan got diagnosed with cancer, and i never ended up going.Its still a dream of mine and I want to do it now whilst im still young (21 this year) but am worried about what my b'f will think of me for leaving him again! Please help! What do I do?!?! Reply to this Question

 Pack your bags get on a plane and GO! Its your dream how many people get the chance to follow there dreams go now or you wont go at all, tell your boyfriend that if you want it to work he has to wait or move on you never know who you will find when you travel the world, the oppurtunities the people the once in a lifetime moments. You missed it for family illness do you want to miss it for a guy?

If i was you i would have a good long chat with your bloke and explain just what you want to do and how you feel. But dont let him stop you or you will live to regret it for a long time to come.
take care
xx

 I think you need to do it. Im in exactly the same situation as you. I just turned 23 and am planning to travel this year. Its scary cos i'm doing it by myself (argh!!) and i'm leaving my job and boyfriend to do it but opportunities like this HAVE to be grabbed. you wont be young forever and you WILL regret not doing it. boyfriends come and go. most relationships (especially at our age) dont last so you dont want to give up a once in a lifetime opportunity for something that will (probably) end at some point anyway.
go for it! if you dont like it and miss him too much you can always come home again or you can see about getting back together when you do come home at the end of your travels. i really think you will regret it if you miss out on the opportunity to fulfill your lifelong dreams for the second time. and if your boyfriend is worth having, he will not want to stand in your way anyway.
all the best

 well i think you should maybe ask him if he wants to go with you tell him its an ambition a dream and he might go with you and if he does im sure you both will get more attracted and into a deeper relationship but i think if thats not possible then maybe wait till you have settled down with him or someone else and then later in life go maybe as a family rather then by yourself but its your choice you decide what you want to do. if you love him you will stay with him but if he loves you he would go to im sure of it maybe have a chat talk about your dream with him xx hope this helps
