After my graduation, I came Hangzhou for my BF. Now he decided to go back his hometown, Jiaxing, which means I have to make a choice now. To go back with him or just stay here. The key is I may can't find a good job in his hometown. In Hangzhou, there r lots of jobs offered here, if follow him, the job I can take may be less income. If U were I, how do u make the decison?

Hello Chiara... I would suggest you analyze the situation properly and think logically. You have a good job already with satisfactory income, why quit it, if you aren't sure about getting a similar job in another town? Your guy loves you and you love him. You can maintain a distant relationship. And can meet each other once a week or once/twice a month... My fiancee is in USA and I am in India. We have not seen each other for more than an year. But still, we love each other madly and passionately. The distance between us, has increased our love for each other, manifold... I think you can do it too... Talk to you BF about this... Have a good conversation and without arguing, explain him the situation... It should work! Good Luck!! And yeah, please let us know how it goes...

Well, why did he decide to go back to his homwetown? If hes doing it without considering you, I suggest you talk to him and discuss everything. I mean, every one wishes that their true love will just folow tgem around to where ever they want to go but what if you get your heatbroken? Then your stranded and screwed over becsue of him. At the same time you dont want to miss out on any lifetime opportunity (that includes him and your job). So I can understand why this decision is so big and why your worring so much about it. If it was me, Id first ahve a converation with him - tell hi how Im feeling about verything and how he feels and what he thinks about the whole thing and make my decision for there. I also suggest that you dont just think of it from the standpoint of wether or not you love him (and that you may get another chance at this jiob or that money dosnt matter) and not about the job (your security, dream, the life you want, never getting this opportunity again). Take in everything and consider it all,but dont fret because thenyour decision can become more than unworthy. Good luck. :)

The perspective of your considering things is all-sided. Your words offered me another point to think over the problem. Yah, between the lovers not only about love. Love can't solve everything took place in real life for lovers. Money is also not that important. I should be clear what life I want first, right?

ChairaChang, In the first place, I am wondering if the both of you had ever talked about this issue at the beginning before your graduations. Taking into consideration of the present economic climate, has the both of you or rather your boyfriend has a secured job at his hometown? If not, why the haste to move to Jiaxing? I feel that your consideration is both practical and prudent here and that moving to Jiaxing with your boyfriend can wait, at least until the both of you have secured positions for a job. Otherwise, get a job at where you are now and start working. Emotions aside and I hope that the both of you will reconsider and be practical here. Take care and have a nice day.

If I were you, it would depend on how much sacrifice I see him making for me in the course of our relationship. If the relationship is not that serious yet, of course I wouldn't trade a very good job for my boyfriend. Otherwise if he's all worth it, I'll choose to stay with him. Ask yourself, if he was in your position, would he be willing to do the same thing for you? Choose you over his job?

Thanks for ur advice. Your words are quite reasonable. To answer your question, I've known the answer. It's worthy for me to sacrifice for him. In fact, I'm not a woman with strong career-ambition. Love means more for me. I'm clear what I do now. :D

since his just your bf then i guess you must concentrate to your job first. unless he will make a proposal to get married. what happened if you go home with him with no job there and yet the two of you were really not mean for each other. it means you will only lose your good future. for me, if his my bf since theres phone and internet to have communication with and since we can still meet each other sometimes then i guess i will stay and continue with my job till i earned for my future. i will tell him its for my future and for my future family sake. he will be selfish enough of not to understand it. besides, someday if the two of you are already married of course you will have no other choice but to come with him.

From your words, I think you must be an independent girl.:D Thank you for your sincere suggestion. I've known what to do is best for me, for both of us. We decide to get married within 2 years, just the price of property is soaring, we have to work hard to make money for our marital future.
