my girlfriend and i have lived together for 11 months now, live happily, she moved from Manchester to be with me in Hull(about 200 miles away). Manchester is a bigger town with alot more going on, Hull is a small town with not much about it, as she is an actress, she cannot get work here due to town being so small.
Last night we were watching a drama called "Cold blood" it was filmed in her home town Manchester, as we were watching she noticed one of the Actresses was someone who she went to University with, My girlfriend told me that when they were at Uni, her tutor told her that she was always the more talented one of the two.
she got upset that the other girl was acting and she wasnt, i believe this is alot to do with the fact she lives in Hull now so there is not as much prospect, i have since thought about asking her to move back home, to pursue her acting, is it selfish of me to keep her here because we live together?
she doesnt want me to move to manchester because her parents dont like the fact she is gay, but if she moves back home with her parents, she will be living in a better town for her career and hopefully her acting will move forward??
the downside for me, we wont live together and we will only see each other once a week maybe once every 2 weeks, but i can see how sad she is getting that her acting is suffering, should i say she should move home and hopefully her acting will progress? but will our relationship suffer?
I don't think you need to do anything...this is a decision she needs to make for herself. You should be supportive of her no matter what she chooses. Hopefully your relationship will not suffer, or perhaps you two can make a different change all together like finding your way to a altogether new town with more opportunity for her...
Thanks for comments, i am supoprting her with everything she does but i feel as if i am holding her back, or atleast the town we live in is holding her back, she travels 2 1/2 hours to get back to manchester for drama every other wednesday, i jsut think it may be easier on her if she moves back home, her parents would be happier because she is back, she will be closer to drama and be able to save up more cash to go travelling with me.
