I am now living with my girlfriend in a city in the North of our country and we have been in love for a long time and we love each other deeply. Now i find a job that i love very much and that has been my dream ever since i was a kid, but i have to move to another city in the South of our country because that is where the job is. It is ok for my girlfriend and me to move there,but my parents-in-law are against us moving out of the city where we now live, saying that it is too far from home to work in a Southern city and they will never let her daughter to live so far away from them. If i want to be with my girlfriend, i have to stay in where we live now or they will just separate us. Now i am really in a dilemma. on one hand, i really love me girlfriend and want to stay with her,but, on the other hand, i also love the job in the Southern city , that is what i really want to do. Now i am torn between my love and my career. Someone who has the same experience? Please share you thoughts with me and give me some advice,thanks in advance.

its not fair that your parents -in-law are against this, its your life and chance to make a career for yourself, lots of people have to do this, its life, when you say that they wont let their daughter live far away it sounds as though she is under 18 which i then would agree with them but if not then they dont have much of a say

Yes i think it is unfair that my parents-in-law are against this. We are grown up now and we have the right and can make choices by ourselves.i am going to ask for my girlfriend's opinion, if she agrees to move to the Southern city with me, i will just do it beacause that is our lives nor theirs.

It should be up to your girlfriend if she is willing to move not her parents. I know they love her and want to look out for her BUT if she's an adult she has choices to make and they need to respect that and support her deicsion. Otherwise I would ask yourself about a long distance relationship for now or unless you decide to marry.
