So I've been talking to my long distant boyfriend that I met online for over a year now. He is in the army stationed in Fort Worth. I like him. Things are awkwardly different because he is always far away. So it is always texting on Kik or emails. We have Skyped before but not for long. He talks to me when he can and sends money for me and the boys. Which to me is not bad way better than what the boys dad has ever done. I'm thinking of moving closer like I really want to give us and this love thing a try again. because we are quite a distance apart I want to move closer. That would mean moving to a new home, town, job of which my recent job pays well and I just got a promotion but I hate it but no other jobs so far pays around that amount I'm comfortable with and further from family members that help a little yet a lot. Am I putting to much in should I wait and see how things go first with driving back and forth!? What's some advice from some who have been in an similar situation.
