The big crossroads

[Just1willdo]

You know in that old sitcom, 'Keeping Up Appearences?' In one episode Rose says she's facing the big crossroads..lol She doesn't know whether to continue with life or just go to sleep.

Well, that's how i feel right now. I met a lovely fella about 5 yrs ago, I live in in London, he's up North. He wants me to pack up and move in with him, maybe we'll get married i don't know.

Anyway, DS is settled in London loves his school, next year he'll be in 6th form. I want to get out of London as hating it by the day, my friend has a house 2 cars, basically he has 'A life'.
Anybody been in similar situation? I'm not getting any younger at 45..What would you do if you were me?

Dunno...could you put it 'on hold' until DS has done 6th form? Chances are he may be going somewhere else to uni, so wouldn't affect him as much, and his mates will all be doing different things anyway, whereas if you moved now, new 6th form will probably have been together since they started school.

Two more years really isn't that long in the great scheme of things. Is there any way ds can stay on to 6th form without you?

RedHelen, there isn't anyone apart from his father he could stay with and he doesn't want to stay there (not surprising). My mum can't look after him, she's not very well.

My friend can't stop in London with me, he doesn't like London either. I was thinking i'd go up to see him in the half term and actually bring ds. I think if he saw how lovely it is he'd change his mind. I don't want to drag him out of school just yet as he's very happy there.

Could he not help your mum out - at that age he shouldn't need much looking after & he could do shopping, housework for her?

If not, personally I would wait the two years & any bloke worth having would understand why.
