I’m 23 and my boyfriend is 24. We’ve been together for 8 months now, have known each other a little under a year. I’m very happy, and very much in love. We both bonded over the fact that we want to move out of the country, and explore the world. He eventually wants to move to France and has been studying the language and loves the culture. I i’ve experiencing that with him and watching him do what he loves. However, although it doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon, I feel eventually he’s going to chase his dream and move to France, and I won’t be able to go with him. I don’t ever want to hold him back, and I want him to be happy and be his best self. I like to say I’m that person that is in a relationship for the experience, to get to know someone and have a beautiful connection even if it’s for a short time, but I’m so attached, and I want him in my life for a very long time. He’s the best person I know.

I’ve brought this up to him before and he told me that there’s no reason for me to be worrying about that right now because he’s applying for jobs that will keep him here for a little longer.

It’s also my dream to move away, I just don’t know where. And I don’t want to latch onto his dream.

I know I’m being a little irrational. I don’t know why I focus on the future so much, and neglect the present, I guess it’s my own anxieties and insecurities. Not sure how to get over them though.

I guess Imm just curious if anyone else has ever felt this way or been in a similar situation.

Thank you for listening/reading. xx
