I met my boyfriend 3 years ago when I was 18 and fell head over heals for him. We moved in together quickly after we met and struggled to be together.
Recently, we hit alot of bad luck and can't afford to pay our rent and we are down to one vehicle. Hes the only one whose working. What we've got together is all he has. Weve had really good and really bad times, but when it comes down to it I don't want to leave him, but I have to.
If I move out of the apartment my parents will pay for the balance we owe on the apartment and next months rent. Maybe 2 months rent im not sure. They will cover all the utilities outstanding and give him $300 to get his own car, all under the condition I leave him and move back home. We have no chance, it's too late to keep trying and theres no other way we could get the money.
If you have to leave the person you love, and you still have a week together what would you do?

one week is too long as well as too short for the persons who love each other more than themselves. i will spend each moment of this one week with my girlfriend and make sure that these 7 days are the best days of her life because i don't know when again i will meet her. but still as i love her, so i will not lose hope of getting her back with me.

I woulid spend every moment I could with here, doing anything it doesnt matter. Just spending quality time, holding her, kissing her, looking into her eyes... all of those things can be simply amazing. If I only had a week left I would cherish every last moment.

If you give in to your parents, you will be under their thumb, possibly for years to come. I would be totally insulted if my parents did that. My in-laws pulled that b.s. when I was dating someone, before we got married. Even if I had to break up over finances, I still wouldn't move back home. I'd beg on the street before I ever gave in to that kind of manipulation. I'd also probably never talk to my parents again.

Ohmygosh. I am so sorry to hear those conditions. Why won't your parents help you and him survive together? It's sad when parents come between lovers. Neverending cycle, though. Spend the next week remembering all you have together, all you wanted to have together, and cherish the memories hereafter. However, if you can work, try to get a job, that way maybe in the future you two can be together again... love hard, girl.

i am sorry all of this has happened to you....if i had a week to spend with one i love, i would want to spend hours talking and just being together...holding his hand, touching him....and storing up memories of us together.
why are your parents making conditions on helping you? is there something else going on? i am one who think help shouldn't have conditions.
good luck to you, and know that if you move, it doesn't have to end there. i hope you will continue to see each other and keep the bond there.
