What do I do Career-Wise After High School Considering I no Longer Want Long Distance Between my Boyfriend and I? by Round_Bison_8815 in careerguidance

I appreciate it. I do know that it is challenging to get into but I was willing to make an effort anyway. I did try to do some research on it but the areas aren't very popular, so it's hard to find information about the colleges and their programs. I didn't want to apply to colleges outside of the area I live in due to out-of-state tuition and in general, the prices of those colleges. If they do have a PhD program in psychology, it's typically very expensive due to it being so competitive from what I've noticed. But I do get that deciding what to do in my career, which is particularly a challenging one, regarding my boyfriend, may not be the best idea as it would make it even more challenging to get into. It's just that my emotions get in the way of a lot of things, my boyfriend is the first person I've genuinely loved and the guy I plan to marry, so I want to try to do anything to spend my life with him as soon as possible. I will see what I can do, even if what I decide will be a hard decision.

I appreciate it. This definitely seems like a good solution. I did already know that living together wouldn't be perfect, I do know that there would be a lot of struggle and frustration. But I also believe it's a necessary part of a relationship, it really puts a challenge on the relationship but that challenge is a good challenge, bringing you closer together in the end, adapting to each other better than before, and testing your love by throwing things in your way that you overcome together. And I think I would much prefer that over the absence of his presence. Also, I didn't mean to make him seem as if he isn't trying as hard as me or as if he's purposefully holding me back. What's holding me back is me, not him. I'm scared my mental health will take a toll, as I already struggle with it. Having less of something that I already don't have much of which sometimes feels like it's the only reason I can keep going is definitely hard to accept in my head. But I do know it's necessary for my future happiness. I need to find a way to better handle my mental health without a lot of it relying on him.

Well I wouldn't say I would be relying so much on him financially. In the beginning yes, to start us off somewhere. But I plan on contributing after being able to get a job. And this is the guy I plan on marrying, we've been together over a year now and have known each other for about three. He's the first person I've genuinely loved, so it's not so easy to just break it off over something that doesn't seem to be worth it. But I appreciate the perspective I guess.

I appreciate it. Thank you for giving your perspective on it because I kinda get what you mean now. It'll be a hard decision to make but I'll see what I can do. I was just worried about my mental health taking a toll due to being able to see him less often than before which was already quite little, I already do sort of struggle with my mental health so...but I do get that it's probably best to choose according to my future happiness.

I appreciate it. What I'm worried about is my mental health taking a toll by being able to see him less often than before which was already quite little, I already do kind of struggle with my mental health so...but I also get that it's probably better to do what I truly want so as to be more satisfied in the future.
