My bf ( 23M) and I (22 F) facing a hard time in our relationship. We having been dating for almost 6 years. He’s been going through a rough patch and is ultimately deciding to call it quits with his trader job and try and pursue a tech job/ go back to school. Long story short back , a few years ago his parents decided to move to FL (we live in upper east coast ) and he decide to stay back so we could stay together as well as he continue working at his job. He also had to move in with family member( I currently live with my parents). Through this time of reflection he’s ultimately thinking about moving in with his parents down there and he says it would be beneficial because he wouldn’t have to pay rent, he would be able to save more, go to school and pay off some of his credit card debts. However the idea of long distance is on the table however he doesn’t want to do it long term. He wants me to move down there with him so I can also save money and we can build our future together. We do want to be committed to eachother and plan on getting married.
Here’s my predicament. I’m in school and won’t be done till next spring. I’m also extremely concerned about job security and being able to find something in my field( I’m going to school for graphic design / web design). The state we live in has plenty more job opportunities for me at this current moment. Another thing that isn’t helping is my family has been going through a lot the past few months and moving next year with the uncertainty things will get better makes me feel unsure. I feel horrible not being able to give him a firm yes or no simply because I have so much on my plate but thinking about up and moving my life is so stressful. He also feels like if he stays in the state we live in any longer he feels as though he’ll be wasting time as he is trying to look for another job in the field he wants.
Talking to my parents about this would cause more stress in them with our family stuff.
TLDR
What should I consider when it comes to long distance? How should I navigate further conversations?
Any advice would be appreciated
