Higher Education/ Boyfriend trouble!?
Heyy all,
Just need a little advice on a situation I am in. I am 22 years old fashion graduate and am in a 2 year relationship with an amazing guy. I currently live in Dubai UAE, and have an oppurtunity to go for further studies (fashion Masters) to UK.
My boyfriend is very supportive about my decision to leave, however it would also mean ending a 2 year relationship that is going so well. I love him more than anything in this world…but at this point I choose to think about my career and would like to settle down in life asap. Ive always had financial problems and I owe alot to my family. So this oppurtunity is also to give back my family what they have sacrificed.
Is it harsh that I am choosing my career over a relationship? I firmly do not support long distance as I know I will not be able to handle it. It will be difficult to get over him but I’m willing to take the chances. What do i DO???

Most people get in more than one deep relationship. So it’s not that big of a risk.

Well, your studies have to ALWAYS be the first thing. Your still young, and as they say it you can fall in love again. If he were really THAT supportive he would go to the ends of the world with you, and he would not risk the chance of ever loosing you. Never succumb to the benefits of the man in the relationship. BE YOURSELF, live your life first and then choose to share it with someone else.
On a personal note i also found myself in this situation but i was far younger than you..and even more attached to staying away from my studies when an awesome opportunity popped up.
And you know what?
I’m soooooo happy i decided to leave…to follow my dreams, follow my career, and live up to everything I’ve always hoped to achieve.
And i also found someone that loves me even more, and appreciates me; and if tomorrow i have to uproot myself and move to Australia i know, with positivity that he would pack both are bags.
I hope this helps; and i wish you the best:)

Simple put- If the relationship is meant to be…it will still be there when you return. It sounds like you have support on all sides. Only you can decide,but I would take the educational opportunity.At 22 it may not seem like it ,but you do have plenty of time to settle down. Take the time now to take chances. And explore the world.
