My high-school English teacher told me to write like a girl's skirt... long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep you interested. So, that's exactly what I'm going to do in this post...
I currently have a boyfriend that I've been with for about 6 months. Things were going well, but not until about 3 weeks ago did he become absolutely amazing. For about 3 weeks, he's been leaving me "I love you" notes on my car at 6:30am while I'm at the gym, he's been coming into my place of work to bring me food when I'm staying late to finish up projects, he's been taking me out to dinner, movies, etc. To make a long story short, I feel like a princess!
About a week ago, I got offered a job in my hometown of Pittsburgh. I've been craving to go back for some time now, but I just haven't had the opportunity. This would not only increase my pay, but it would also satisfy that craving to return home and start some new adventures in my life. The only thing that is holding me back is this boyfriend. I could never ask him to move to Pittsburgh from Austin (a city that he loves), and I could never offer to support him if he couldn't find a job in Pittsburgh.
In order to help myself make this decision, I sat the boyfriend down and I asked him the question that no girl should ever ask a guy: Are we going to get married or what? haha And to my surprise, he said "yes. I want to get married to you. I want to have kids with you. I want to be with you forever."
So the big decision is: Does one stay for the love of a boy, or does one leave for the love of a city and independence?
