    This.

    In life follow your own path first. You will meet someone who wants to follow that same path with you. It might be your boyfriend (it sounds like he isn't too enamoured of London either) or it might be someone else.

    Is it feasible to live with your parents for a while? Save the rental money and spend this last Christmas at home? You can fly down to visit your boyfriend and enjoy regular weekends together. This isn't going to be a long term long distance relationship, but maybe something you do for a while.

    Thank you Deb :)

    Unfortunately, living with my parents isn't really possible. They have moved to a flat that is decked out for wheelchair/ disabled access and they have two hoists and not enough room for another person. In addition, I'm not much of a traveller, so I guess I could get my own place and have my boyfriend stay as much as he is able to...
  • I suggest renting in Glasgow for a bit to make the most of the last months you have with your dad. I don't think you'll ever regret this. You can think about your boyfriend and how much you miss him during this time. If you definitely want to be with him, you need to change your job for a London one with the appropriate salary.
    They are an EYESORES!!!!

    Thank you, although I doubt I'll ever be tempted by London life, now I've experienced it!
