I have a dillema and am unsure how to solve it. I have found love, but the one I love wants a life where she used to live. I've been where she used to live and honestly I wouldn't mind moving there either. The only reason I stay where I am is to be close to my mother. I'm the only child my mom has that left the house honorably and I want to stay close with her. But staying close to her is starting to hold me back from starting a better life for myself. I feel it's time for me to live my life, but I don't want to hurt her in the process. I am unsure how to compromise this situation and am looking for some opinions. Thanks in advance.

It may be difficult for the both of you at first, in time your mom will understand. I think mom always do. It is difficult to leave especially when all your life you have been living with your mom, but eventually you will leave and live a life for yourself and moms will understand that because it is what will make you happy. You might feel guilty at first, I guess it always does for the first time.

i think it better talk wisely with your lover to live and stay with your mom. At the same time you can look after your mother and your lover too. Try give a considerable excuse to make your lover change mind and stay with your mom..

I am sure that your mom would understand if she really loves you and your happiness. I think you have done what you could to be with your mom and I think you deserve to go to where your heart wants.
Just assure your mom that you will continue to keep in touch with her. I think mom just wants their child to be happy in life and I think that is understandable in your case.

You can rent a house at the place where your lover lives. Take your mother with you and this way you'll be able to take care of her, and also you will be closer to your partner.

I think if you really love this girl it is time to go out in the world and make your own way with her . We have to leave our parents when we become an adult that is why they sent us to school so we can learn to live without them . They give us the proper gear to go out in the world we cannot make our parents live our life .
I used to think I would never live to far from my other but when I start college I decide never to live back home . I have been with my fiance since . I want to be happy and my parents are happy for me and how independent spirit I am .
Your mother love you and will always love you but you cannot put your life on pause .

I think you should look at all the other posters here and see what they say, and then do some thinking on the subject. First let me tell you one thing, and listen well to this. Love is hard to find. Did you hear that, love is hard to find. sorry to have to repeat it, but it is very true. If this is something that makes your love happy then do it. I have already planned to move where my love is. That is no problem for me, I have a situation like you, and my sister says she will never move, so I told her that I will rig up the house with webcams so I can keep tabs on her! LOL. But yes, please listen to your heart, but remember it's so important to find yourself in this world, and I think your mom will agree. Heck, offer to have her stay permanently in a separate room or guest house, or something like that if you have any available. Depends on the situation. But I felt the same way, as I am all my sister has, so I just told her I'd webcam the house and we can always be there for one another :D
