My relationship with my b/f is not stable and we are also separated by hundrends of miles. I am not happy with my career, don't like what I do although the salary is very good. I feel like I want to start another career, but don't you think is a little too late?.. Honestly, when I graduated from the university, what I really wanted was to settle down, have a hudsband, kids, etcs.. but my bf was still fininshing his career. I actually wanted to start another career when I had just finished, but I waited for him and decided not to. Now, he's done but he still not decided to marry. And since family is not happening for me; I would like do my life my way. But, at the same time I am afraid not to find anybody else and end up alone...I am afraid that he may be the one..Should I wait for him to make up his mind that he wants to be with me and spend the rest of his life with me OR should I just forget about him and try to RE-do my life. During the past last 3 years my life has evolve around his life. Everything, has been about him, his career, and what he wants...Is it Ok to begin a new career at my age? (I am talking about a long career(8 years least)

Make a realist list of your goals. Have him do the same. See if you can make the work. If not you must change or move on.

 It seems to me that I won't help you if I just answer your question, instead of trying to see the big picture.As you said, you're unhappy with your life, which includes being unhappy with your boyfriend, too. What you really need is the courage to live your own life. You need to determine what your real purposes are in life and pursue them. Maybe you will make a mistake or two, or two hundred; but, if you dare to live life, instead of merely reacting to circumstances, you'll be much happier and will make the most of your life.Is it worth waiting for your boyfriend? Only you can answer that.I would say that at 29 you still have a chance to go after your dreams. However, maybe eight year of studies is too much. If I were you, I wouldn't do that; it means you'd be finishing this career at 37-38, which seems a little late for me.Take care.
