Ohh Sheryl, what a choice you have to make! But, my dear, there really is no choosing to do here...I mean, if you are saying that you still have your obligation to your family, then, by God's grace, go on and do it, but there is no need to leave your boyfriend as well. If he is the right one for you, he will understand your having to fulfill first your obligation and not be selfish about it. Reason out with him that you are only delaying your engagement and that in God's time and with proper planning, you may be able to leave your family in good condition. It would be HARD only if you were married and your husband is making you choose between him and your family. Then, that would break your heart for sure. I'll be praying for you and your boyfriend.

Erhm maybe it's just me but I don't see a problem in your post!? Why do you have to chose? Can't you be with your boyfriend and still have your family?

I guess it depends on if he's asking you to choose between him & your family or if it's just to move out with him & you don't feel you can for whatever obligations you think you have. You need to weigh up things & work out what YOU want - if you want to be with him & live with him then do it, if you would rather stay at home for whatever your reasons are, then stay at home. If he loved you, he'd understand why you couldn't move in together just yet. Talk with him & also talk with your family, then you can decide what's best!

If he really loves you he wouldn't be making you choose between him and your family. I don't know your situation because you didn't really tell enough of your story. But you've got to remember your family is your blood and if you are close to them then hopefully they will always be there for you. I'm not sure how old you are but there are other guys out there. I'm not saying you should break up with him but he shouldn't be making you choose between the two.

If he really loves you, he will wait for you. He would understand how important it is to you to help your family. And besides your family will become his family too.
