My love and I are together for three and half years. I love him so much and I want to get married. We are not from one place. My parents want me to stay here in our city, but he would like to go to his hometown. I decide to stay with my parents, and he did not give me a certain answer if he will stay. Now we are living together in my hometown, and sometimes we quarreled. When I cried, I was thinking what should I do when one day he wants to leave for his hometown. It's really upset. Should I continue my love? I dont't know.

I think if you love someone you should be able to give up something for that person as well. Mostly women do, they leave everything behind for the one they love. This includes their home town, family, friends, jobs, house etc in many cases even their country and habits. In this cased your love gave up what he wanted most, living in his hometown just because of his love for you. That he is not happy about that you know by now. So ask yourself if you are NOT able to give up your hometown and family, why you ask the same from him? Is that fair? If you both can't find a way to be together I think it's the best to end this relationship. Sounds to me to both of you it's way more important to stay where you are grown up, to be with your family as being/living together. Your love is not strong enough for that.

perhaps I did not have enough love and courage to give up my family.I don't know.But why we have to sacrifice something for love? why can't we just live together and have a happy life............

I agree with WakeUpKitty, love does demand sacrifice and if you can't sacrifice something then perhaps you feel more strongly about that then your lover.

If you and your boyfriend are planning to marry, you should decide together on where is the best place for you to settle down and start a family. That includes work opportunities as well. And those decisions should be mutually agreed upon after considering all the pros and cons. And you both have to agree that since you cannot be married and live apart, compromises have to be made and whatever decision you guys decide upon, you have to be able to accept it and be fine with it. After all, this is your life together. If you settle in the city, he has to accept that and be fine with that. If you settle in his hometown, you have to make your parents understand that you are starting a new life and a new family for yourself and ask for their blessing. But if he has not talked about marriage yet, maybe it is time you should ask him about what his future plans are for the two of you before you decide where to live. :)

I wholly agree with that.And this is a decision where the importance lies in the new family you will start and not in the ties with either one of your respective families.

When you get married, you will have to be with where your husband wishes you to be. It doesn't mean that you will love your parents less if you decide to leave your city. Remember that once you get married, you need to have your own family and it is okay to leave your parents. That is what I did when I got married. My mom initially told me to stay with them coz my dad might be uncomfortable if I would leave the house right away. I stayed for a while then until one day I decided to take all my things to my in law's house where my husband is living. I did not hear anything bad from my dad. And I guess he realized that I need to be with my husband wherever he wants us to be.

if you will get marrry and move with your husband to his hometown that does not mean that you will be separated from your parents. you can communicate with them and visit them. but fact is that when a girl marry a guy she will enter her own family leaving behind her parents. so you need your own family and your love who is your husband. do not be worry, continue to love him and look forward to marry him

if you real love each other ,you can't give up,no matter where we lived ,i think love is more inportant ,it is diffcult for us to meet a person we want to live together,you are together for three and half years,i think it is too long to prove there is love between you,if you persist,i think it will have a good result.

I think you need to ask yourself which is more important, your family or the person you love? If its your family then I say break up with him so he can go back to his. If you do decide you love him more then I would suggest mabye trying to live in his home town since your both fighting in your own. You could ask why you both want to live in different places, is it just family or job related? mabye one place would be better to live then the other. I would suggest talking with him logically about which places would be the most beneficial.
