    You're young, smart, and pretty. You an do whatever you want. Austin seems like the obvious place to me, with more room to grow.

    If you stay in the womb, you'll regret it. The passage into your own life is painful, but it's so so worth it. You realize the situation isn't healthy and you need to grow up; that realization is the first step. Now you just have to take a deep breath and get out there on your own.

    What are you majoring in and how far are you from your degree? (You don't have to say it here, just think about it.) Nothing against community college whatsoever, but if your future plans require a bachelor's rather than an associates degree and if you're only a few credits away, I'd say stay and finish.

    I also second those who advise leaving the womb, though. And I think your boyfriend is being a little silly about the LDR thing. Austin to San Marcos is hardly a long distance, for one thing. My boyfriend and I live in Central Austin. I work at the same club as you, and he goes to school at TXState. It's hard on the car, but we manage. I've known a lot of kids who've lived in Austin and commuted to Texas State.

    As to having a boyfriend as a best friend, I can relate. It's a beautiful thing -- my boy is my favorite person on earth -- but it can get a little stifling. I don't think you have to dump the guy if this is the case, just be more proactive about having other social contacts. If you're not a naturally extroverted person (I'm soo not) it takes a little effort on your part to make social plans and follow up on them, but once you do it, it's not big deal. Promise.

    I think leaving is the best answer too. Besides, you could hang out with me!

    After you finished here, you would probably be so surprised at how much you had changed for the better. Your relationship with him, should exist, may be stronger as well.

    Yeah, that's silly. But you already know that. Your situation sounds kinda familiar, to me. Way back in the yesteryear when I was a college sophomore, I was my then-boyfriend's first love, and the long-term relationship got very smothering. Leaving him was a wrench -- hard on me, but a lot harder on him, and I felt very guilty -- but it WAS the right decision. You are even younger than I was, I think. You're not at the age to start limiting yourself -- if there is such an age.
