Parents & Long Distance Relationship

I am going to be 23 years old and am graduating college in 3 weeks. My boyfriend is in the Air Force and is stationed in San Antonio, TX (I live in PA). We have been together about 5 years now and 4 of those years have been long distance. He is getting out of the Air Force in May & got offered a really awesome GS job down there that he can’t refuse.

Problem is is that we are sick of being away from each other. I really, REALLY want to move down to TX. I already have a friend down there that said I could move in with her. She has a really nice house. My boyfriend said he can probably get me a job in my field too.

The BIG problem is is that my parents would be moritified. They are kind of over protective and probably wouldn’t talk to me for a long time. They are very loving and have given me everything I have ever needed and more. I just am not happy here in PA and when I think about moving to be closer to my boyfriend, I always feel guilt because of my parents. I love my boyfriend very much & really am looking for change. Am I wrong? I dont know what to do…

Go with your heart hun. No one can make you life choices for you. Keep in mind you are moving to be close to him but remember while he is in the military he can get new orders at any moment. They could send him to a differant state or overseas. To be honest if you are going to make make the jump to live near him to stay near him you should marry him. If that is out of the question and not the right time for you to get married you should prob stay at home due to the fact that he could get new orders and you will end up in texas without him. I am married to a military man so I know how it works when you are and when your not married.
