I've been so confused for the past few weeks of my plan to go abroad. But my Girlfriend doesn't want me to go because she just wanted me to stay and go to her. I've said that this if for our future and she still doesn't want me to go. What will I do?

If going abroad is what you really want to do and it'll benefit your future together, then you should do it. I've had the same situation with my boyfriend. He joined the army and I didn't want him to go but he wanted to do it to better our lives and get himself into a career. It was something he wanted to do and I couldn't stop him from doing that, especially when he wants to make our lives better.

Thanks for the advice. I hope that my girlfriend understands and allow me to go to abroad. She would hopefully realized our situation isn't ready yet. And if she wants true love, she'll wait for me until the day I come back.

Exactly. It definitely sucks being so far from my boyfriend but I know he's doing a good thing by being in the army and it'll be better for our future together. I don't like his decision, but I respect the fact he wants to better himself and get himself into a career. I hope your girlfriend will realize that you only want what's best for both of you and that a few years abroad means the rest of your lives together.

I've been to this situation before and I still chose to go. Its for our future so I told my boyfriend then who's now my husband that its for the better. Although it only made our love sour and I had to go back after only a few months, I also learned a lot while I was away. Think really hard about it. Not everything is about money but if you both are still young it won't hurt if you go abroad and save for your future then go back after a few years and maybe have a career in your own country.
