The Man I Love Is Not Willing To Change His Life To Be Closer To Me. Should We Continue?

I met a wonderful man, we were both divorced with daughter's of similiar age. After a short, long distance romance, I decided to pick up my daughter, leave my job and my house and move in with him.

Although it was rough at first, things got better in a few months and i was very happy in the relationship. My five year old daughter, however, was unhappy, and I missed my family and my friends.

After a lot of soul searching, I decided to move home. He is a great guy, but it wasn't enough. I told him I would love him to move with me, but he will not leave his daughter. Now we are at crossroads.

He is hurt that I left him and I am hurt, that after all I did, he will not entertain the idea of changing his life in any way to be closer to me.

Should we continue our relationship long-distance or should we just end it?

Although we are perfect for each other, it seems we are moving backwards.

Should you continue? or should you pack it up?

That is a personal decision.

What should influence what you do?

The criteria for deciding what to do is how you feel. So, how do you feel?

Are you happy with the relationship? Is there love there? Are you able to work things out amicably?

Do you love him? Does he love you? Is he yielding or self-opinionated? Does he care? Is he considerate?

There are so many things to consider in a love relationship before deciding to proceed or abandon it.

The bottom line in all of this is . . . your happiness and peace of mind.

It should give you something to think about.

However, the final decision is yours to make.
