you must have a big connection together if you are back together after so long.....

moving house is one of our biggest stress factors...divorce is another be it your own or your parents , don't be so hard on yourself....

what his friends or his parents think don't matter.....this is your life and his together , if you are tring to get a job and get back to school is a really good thing , it is such a good thing that you want to finish school , it can be very important, if it will get you a career that you really want ....

sometimes you do have to think about yourself ..what is it in life you want ,,you know what it is like to be without him....... work on living with him in your new enviornment ... look at all the positives in your life , you sound like a beautiful person ...do your best don't heed what others say ..be happy things will fall into place

How sad to hear that! It is really very inconsiderate of him to say those things to you. No.. you are not taking advantage of him. You have left behind everyone to go and live with him.. and he asked you to do that. He is supposed to take care of you. Dont feel bad about yourself. I hope you will find strength to go through this. I learned the bitter truth that if we cant be independent, the world wont be a nice place to us. I blame the feminists for confounding the roles of men and women in the society. If I am in your place, I may seriously consider going back to my place and finishing school there... not becoz I would be taking advantage of him but becoz I would be too upset to be with him. I am not recommending you that. I hope you two can sort things out. Good luck!!!

Girl bye. I would have been back home so fast. Look, it seems nice and romantic living with your boo, but you come first. Go home and finish school first and both of you can work on yourselves before you jump into an apartment together. Then later you both will have something to bring to the table. He doesn't care if you finish school or not because if he did he wouldn't have put you in this situation. He doesn't sound supportive at all. Of course two people have to contribute, but at this time in your life your priority isn't to split the rent with this man, it's to work on your education. If I were you, I would go back to my family and patch things up!
