Is it really too early?

Question

So I’m 19 and my boyfriend is 20. We have been together for 2 and a half years and we both want to move out from our country Croatia because we think it has nothing good to offer us (regarding career). But I don’t want to do it so fast because I am really young to be living without my mother and I don’t want to leave her or my dog to be honest. We have a great relationship and it would be strange to live so far from her. Am I being a baby, is this strange or is it normal to be thinking this way? I would love to hear some opinions. 
My boyfriend disagrees with me, but he never had a grea relationship with his mother so I don’t think he can understand my situation properly.

Answer

I had that problem but when it came to leaving my dad. 
My husband and I wanted to move out of state but I have never been far from my family. So I was scared. 
We talked and we decided to move out of state but I'm only 5 hours from my dad. I couldn't move any further. 
 
I still don't want to go further away. I want to move closer now that I'm pregnant and due soon.

Answer

That's normal to worry about any big change in your life. But listen to what your heart is telling you to do. 
It's possible that he could change toward you once you get away from your family/support group. 
If he is the least bit controlling right now, I would hesitate to move away with him. 
Otherwise, could he move first and you join him later? Or would you be in a situation where you could visit home often?
If you're feeling uncertain about the move I wouldn't do it. If you're looking forward to a new adventure with him, then you'll adjust to being away from your mom.

Answer

It's normal to be scared to pick up everything and move to a different country. You'd have to be crazy to not be scared. Then to be doing it at 19 when you probably don't have much for savings and you might not know something about the cost of living?
