I live in a small town and the closest nursing school is 175 miles away. I have gone back and forth with wanting to be a nurse for the last 10 years. I finally got into an accelerated 12 month BSN program (it starts this May). Here's the problem. . . .I have been dating a great guy for 7 years and he has wanted to get married for the last 2. All I ever wanted to do was get this degree out of the way before having kids. We have battled over it for the last year and finally our relationship ended 2 days ago. I am now going to move in with my family in a different state until school starts just to get my head clear.
Both of us are incredibly sad. . . .I just can't understand if two people love each other why they can't make something work? And it's only 12 months!!
Sorry, for crying on everyone's shoulders. . . .but I never wanted to lose him for nursing school!! He said if things were right later on down the road that he would take me back in a heartbeat, but he said that he thinks that I am going to find a new me and he will never see me again!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a dilemma to be sure, and I don't envy your conflicting emotions. I'm sorry you're feeling so sad, and it is only natural.
What will be will be. And if it's meant to be, you two WILL be back together, regardless.
Hugs to you. Wish you all the best. Don't burn any bridges, just go with the flow.
