Re: HELP!!!!

Quote From: newman

I've been in a relationship for 3 years and the question came up, who is more important in your heart my girlfriend or my family. I have been close to my family my whole life and I feel that they are the most important thing to me. My girlfriend cannot except that, she need to have me say that they are equal. Am I wrong in this situtation. 

Hi newman, 

  

I know what you are going through.  I am in the same situation with my bf.  We've been going together for 5 years.  He's been wanting me to move to FL, and with my  health problems,  I'm inclined to go.  I need the warmer climate.   

  

On the other hand,  I have a son in PA , whom him and his wife JUST had a baby two and a half months ago.  I've always wanted to be a grammy!   Right now they are only an hour away. 

  

I have another son here in NY  Whom is close to me and a big help. 

  

I also have always wanted to be a snowbird.  I didn't realize at the time how hard a decision that would be to move south until now. 

  

Like you asked, how do you pick between your family or your SO?  With me there is health issues.  It would be better in warmer climate, but, then it would be nice to have family near by, along with the bf. grrr, so frustrating, and stressful!!!!!

too be blunt, I think that until you two are married, your family has more rights.  I mean 3 years?!?  Frankly, the fact that you have to ask..makes me feel sorry for the girlfriend already.

Family are important. Question to you is , You would do things for a family member that you would not do for a friend. Correct? So ask yourself Is your girlfriend a member of your family that you love or is she just a friend. You have to make a decision on the relationship you have with her. If the your feeling are that of Love yes she may be equal . If it's not  you're friends
