I have a boyfriend, who, is approximately 10 years older than myself. We have been dating for a little over 2 and a half years. Next year, I will graduate with my Bachelors degree from University and plan to continue my education in the direction of a Masters degree when I am finished. I am a career oriented person and I am doing everything that I can to ensure that I will have a financially stable future. My boyfriend, however, is a disabled man who is collecting SSI. He is working towards his certification so he can have a career in a field which he is passionate about--interpreting for the Deaf. I love him very much, and I feel as though our hearts match in a beautiful way; we share many beautiful things together. While there are many experiences and beautiful things that we can share together there are also many things which we can not share due to his disability and it really saddens me. What should I do? I know that I am young and so is he, but I don't know whether or not my reasons for potentially moving on with my life are valid or shallow.

I think if you leave him you'll break his heart. But you can't live your life for somebody else. So if you find yourself wanting to move on, then do so. But if you do, do not lead him on such as seeing him after you tell him you want to break up. Just completely move on so that he can get over it and not feel like there may be hope that you'll come back to him. I know he has a disability, but there is somebody for everyone and obviously that somebody isn't you. |
