I am now, once again, stand in the cross road. I have been jobless for three months since I made uo mind to go with my boyfriend. Before that, i have a decent office job in a big city and I really enjoy life in big city. we have nearly four years' long distance relationships. what we care is we just cannot living seperately. So I quitted my job and came with him. life is not like what I have expected. we need money for daily life. we qurrelled to each other sometimes since our life is in a mess at first and until now, I cannot find a jon in this small place. My family blame me a lot about my decision since we not yet get married. Mt family blame for me that I do not care my future. Facing complain and messed life, I am fear, but if I am not brave, who will take courage for me? Thanks God, yntil now, my boyfriend does not complain that I am jobless since we are both understanding. We know clearly either me or him should sacrify for each other. Life is really a choice.

Difficulties are inevitable in life. No matter how hard it is, we have to live on. After reading your situation, i thought of mine. I am now working in a big city and i don't make much money now.The high cost of life makes me rather stressed. in August my girlfriend came here and started to find job. But unfortunately she was almost jobless for two months. At that time life seems very hard for me. I have to support 2 people with my slim salary. we quarrelled from time to time just like you for the mess of life. Now it is better, hope you good luck too!

hello there! we know that love alone cannot make a living. love cannot pay bills and so on. but love can transform you to be responsible in life. if you love and care one another, both of you will work hard and make a living to support your future. i understand it's hard to have a long distance relationship. but it is all about trust. if you truly believe that your future will be great if you both work together nothing can stop you for doing what is right. it's better to have a work than just waiting rottenly until all things become mess. your bf should also encourage you and support you esp in your career. if he truly believes both of you will have a good future, he won't hesitate to support you all the way. you can't blame your family for acting like that because they only want the best for you. i know it's your life and own choice, but sometimes we have to listen to them. i know because of that you will learn more in life. long distance relationship is great if both of you know how to handle it. it's all about trust, support and understanding. you, yourself the courage will come from and not on anybody else. when you wake up your mind, everything will be fine again.

Thanks for your advice. yes , you are right, I cannot blame my family for they are realy thingking about my future. I just graduated from college.Next year, we will move to city and thenit will be easier to get a job I like. I cannot just let my boyfriend to support our family alone. I should share burden with him. LOVE teaches me what is responsibility. Maybe it is time I should be responsibe for our love. Thanks for your reponse. Have a nice day.

I must say, you have definitely put yourself in a difficult situation. You should always weigh in all the possibilities before making such decisions in your life. Think about the pros and cons in dealing with relationship. Reality wise, financial stability is somehow helpful in a relationship. And you should keep in mind that without having both of you working, it’s quite hard to come up with your day to day needs. However, I cannot blame your for your situation because we can’t predict how love will guide us in our future and the future is subjective. What you should do as of now is to find ways and means to get money, find a decent job in the locality that you are living with your partner. Tell him what is practical on your status; tell him that you would like to help on finding solutions financially. If things wouldn’t work out well, there is always your family that will help you in times like this. Be strong.
