StikWitEm Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 So recently my girlfriend and I have been fighting a little bit because of a conversation we had about our future. We both would love to get married to each other and have a family one day, however, she really wants to follow her dream and move out to L.A. to become an actress. Now I guess I wouldn't mind moving out to L.A. since that is where I'm originally from (we currently live in Wisconsin) however It takes a lot of money and effort to just pick up and move out there, and we both are currently in college in Wisconsin, and I would like to finish up schooling before we even thought about that. So anyways, this has put a strain on us both, because while I would love to support her decision in life, do I really want to sacrifice having to basically give up any kind of my dreams that I have to go out there and help her with hers, especially since she will most likely be unemployed or working for minimum wage while attempting to become a famous movie actress. I guess I kinda just saw myself more of finishing up schooling, getting a place of my own, saving up money to get a house one day, then eventually down the road start a family, and I thought my girlfriend wanted the same thing. Right now she's currently going to school for social work, and has told me that she gave up on her acting dream a while ago, and that she wanted what I did. Now all of a sudden she sees a movie and her dream is back. I just don't know what to do, because while i want to support her, I'm not so sure I would be able to handle her busy actor schedule and not being able to see her a lot if she has to travel for work.

goingstrong Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It sounds as if you and your SO do not share common goals and dreams. Hardly, a way to start off a marriage and future together. You sound as if your in your early 20's/late teens, so I wouldn't invest anymore time in this relationship. You have your whole life in front of you...move on. Link to post Share on other sites
