I want to move to Los Angeles to pursue my acting career but my boyfriend says he won't come with me and will break up with me if I move. What should I do?
AnonymousSounds like a super nice guy!
Ok. So let him break up with you. Call his bluff. If he doesn’t break up with you by the time you hit the sandy beaches like he threatened, then break up with him. He obviously can’t handle your desire to have dreams or be successful.
You also don’t want him moving with you anyway. Sitting around your new apartment all crabby and negative….that does not pair well with sunshine and avocados.
If he changes his mind and says he will move with you, tell him you changed your mind and you don’t want him to. Nothing worse than shoving a bad relationship into a one bedroom apartment. Yuck
I admire your desire to want to make a change, I can relate. If you were totally fulfilled then you wouldn’t find it necessary to relocate. I dated a guy for 3 years who when I told him I wanted to be on SNL his reply was “and I want to be a major league baseball player, not gonna happen”. After we broke up I spoke to him a couple years later and I was following my dream and was involved in improv in Chicago and when I mentioned I had a show coming up he said “ugh. when are you going to start acting like an adult”. That totally reminded me that breaking up was the right thing.
If he is threatening to break up with because you want to better yourself and follow a dream of yours, then call his bluff.
Let him find a girl who just wants to shit out his kids and work part time for little pay. You get to LA and whether you become a famous actress or not you will for sure become a better version of yourself….without his sorry ass.
Though wouldn’t it be awesome if after a year of being apart you land a major commercial and it plays during the Super Bowl while he is shoving mayonnaise sandwiches in his mouth with his new girlfriend.
Shoot for that!
