need some input

[Guest]

I'll try to keep this short. I have been in a long term relationship w/bf who is simply a nice guy. When we met 5 yrs ago he was a breath of fresh air. Totally different from me, kinda querky/nerdy and I found it kind of cute. He was the opposite of what I have dated in the past. We have totally different taste in almost everything(since of humor, books, movies, entertainment) thats what brought us together in a way. He took me to operas and plays, I took him to Rock/Rap concerts and night clubs. He took me fishing and camping, I took him to comedy clubs and open mic poetry readings.

 

We met in my home state. He was stationed on a military base there. At the time I was working a part-time job and going to college part-time. after 10 mons of dating he was transfered to out of state to another base and I followed. He then got transfered two more times. I followed each time. When he is out of the military we moved back to my home state.

 

He could not stand it. He complained everyday. I'm from a large city he is from a small town. City boy he is Not. He eventually found a job in out west, close 6 figure pay and he wanted me to come with him. I wasn't sure because since I got back home I started college PT and working PT again and I wanted to finish my degree. He told me if I came with him he would pay for school so I wouldnt have to work, I could go back full time & finish sooner. along with other reasons I decided to sell my stuff & off I went.

 

Now fast foward 5+ yrs and I realize our differences are too different & we have nothing in common. I wake up every morning looking at him and ask myself why am i here. I am not happy. I talk to my girlfriends and they don't see my problem. They see a man who loves me, doesn't abuse me, or yell. They say marry him, learn to love him & stop complaining. I say their is a man out thier who will get my jokes. who find the tv show Seinfeld funny, who will laugh simple things and not get bent out of shape like he does. His favorite phrase to me is, "I Just don't get you"

I think thats the root of our problems....He doesn't 'get' me.

 

My problem is I have not finished school. I sold all my furniture ex...after my car died, he bought me a brand new car but its still in his name. And If I moved back to my home state, I would be starting from scratch. School credits wouldn't transfer, I wouldn't have a car, I would have to look for a job and apt. Do I stay or do I do as my gf's say and suck it up and stop complaining?

Thanx for your input.
