So... I moved to my area about a year ago and very shortly after found the "perfect" guy for me. We've been dating ever since and even moved in together. We live in a tourist town where during the offseasons its very hard to make money anywhere let alone being a server. I've ran myself into debt pretty hard and trying to figure things out... but i've had my man.... (Even though we aint got money, im so in love with you honey) but recently he's been a dick to me. Really mean and says things that he says he doesnt mean. We still have a lease and bills together, but i've visited my moms and she wants me to move back with her... 2 hours away from here. I could live with her rent free and go back to school so im not a career waitress and actually do something i love again. Problem is, he's said he's sorry for all the nasty things he's said, but im afraid he'll do it again and be a dick for no reason. I'll be leaving him with the rent and bills that he can barely afford with me helping pay. Part of me (my mind) knows i should go back home and finish school and then may heart does love him and doesnt want to screw him over. i tried talking to him about it but he gets so stressed and worked up over every little thing. i guess im just at a loss... any words of wisdom?
Sounds like you already know the right thing to do, you're just afraid to do it. Break up with him, go back to school, and better yourself before you can live for someone else. I'm sure he'll manage to find a way to pay rent and as long as your name isn't on the lease, you'll be alright. New England is rough right now in terms of a job market so your education is crucial if you continue to live up here.
