 need advice- i'm hesitant about breaking up
i am thinking about breaking up with my current boyfriend of 3 years, but i am hesistant.

he doesn't keep a job for more than 6 months, mostly because he doesn't know what it is he wants to do, and he is never satisfied with the pay ... and his family doesn't like me, and i don't like his family ..... i don't like the instability with his job(s) and i hate the idea of being linked to his family in any way shape or form, but they are soo close that they freak out of anyone moves more than 20 miles away .... but i absolutely love him to pieces and he is great to me ... but i feel like he's holding me back ... so .... do i pursue my dreams i've held forever and break up, or do i stay with him and have a garunteed great husband and settle for a job locally around here .....

he is now saying that he wants to go to college for electrical engineering, and again, seems pretty into this, and, that's a plus, however, that doesn't fix the family issue ....


not to mention, my dad and most of my family don't want me married to him because of the fact that he would never be able to support me on his own if needed ... he asked my dad once before if he could marry me, and my dad told him no ....


but i love him ... a lot ... he can make me laugh when i am feeling the absolute worst, but he knows when to be there just as a shoulder to cry on. he loves me sooooo much, i can't put it into words. we have been referred to as the "perfect couple" and i have yet to meet another couple to gets along better than we do.... we just love each other, and i mean a LOT....

i have been holding down my concerns, but what brought them all up to the table was a guy at my college likes me, and he graduates next semester with his Bachelors in computer networking ... and i can't help play out in my mind how much EASIER life would be married to him instead ... and he seems sweet enough =)   ............ but i am afraid of not finding what i have with jake ever again if i were to break up with him .....



so which wins over? family and dreams, or  an untouchable love with war between the in-laws and financial struggles which possibly could lead to the same issue of leaving one another?

Sweetheart, I was in your situation once. I made the mistake of picking him over my family and my dreams. The end the result: My one-month-old daughter is in Oak Ridge Cementery, he is sitting in maximum security prison and I have a very shakey relationship with my family.

Now my situation is very rare and very harsh, but ultimately when it boils down to it, I chose a guy over my family and my dreams and I suffered with the consequences. Stick with your family, live out your dreams, dump the piece of crap. Worst thing that will happen: You will feel bad for breaking it off with him for awhile but the pain will leave.

God's Blessings on whatever decision you make

he isn't a piece of crap, maybe i was not clear enough in how good of a person he is.... he would never hurt a living thing for all the money in the world .... he loves me, he loves his family, he loves my family ... he wants to marry me, he wants to be together, he wants a family, he wants to be a father.... while he hasn't found a job he likes, he never goes with no job at all, he always has another in line before he changes them .... i guess if he got a job that he could move wherever and keep it and just transfer, and we moved away from his family, all would be well ... he is willing to move .....

So your family doesn't like him because he is financially unstable. Have you told him that? What would he say? Would he work towards a position in which he could support a family if he needed to?
It's kind of crazy to be talking like this in the current recession. Families all over the place are suffering because of layoffs. There are no lifetime guarantees in the working world.
I think that you have found a great guy who is in love with you and you with him. You can't marry a guy just because of his earning potential. What if he turns out to be an alcoholic, or a workaholic who you hardly ever saw. Oh, but the bank account would be healthy?!
This guy wants to be a father and wants to be with you. He's always had a job. You could dump him and do a whole lot worse.
Whats important is your happiness, not your families happiness. If they love you, they would want you to be happy.
Peace
