I've been with my boyfriend for a long time now, and we've been long distance our entire relationship. However, the stronger our relationship gets and the closer we grow toward each other, the harder it gets to say goodbye everytime we have to go back to where we live. He lives in Delaware and I live in Virginia, and its about 3 hours from my school to where he lives. I'm so much happier being with him, or even near him that I can't focus on anything else. I want to be around him all the time, and he feels the same way. Right now he can't move back to Virginia because of his money situation, so I'm wondering if I should leave the college I'm attending in Virginia and move there with him to possibly attend school there. I love him and I know it would be worth it and this relationship is very long term. Plus I was planning on transferring from my current school anyway after this semester. It would be a big move and I would have to talk to my parents about it, I would also like thoughts on what you might think they would say. We are both adults and I legally can do whatever I want, but my parents approval means a great deal to me. I don't know if I should transfer to a different school in Virginia thats closer to Delaware and wait until he can move back here, or move there. All of his friends and his mother and siblings still live in Virginia, so there is a lot for him here. But he cannot afford to buy a place to live here yet. Opinions on what I should do?
Should I leave my current school and move in with my boyfriend?

As long as your parent's opinion is important to you maybe it is a good idea to talk to them openly, explaining the situation, and ask for their support. surely they would not like you to do a silly thing (e.g. dropping school) so they might be supportive. Probably they would be worried as you both seem not to be able to maintain your living. And, provided they accept to support you in finding a solution, definitely your Dad would want to see the boy :) It very much depends on how open your parents are. I can not know that, what I know for sure is that whatever it happens you should not drop your studies - you move to other shool if you want, but do not drop themn
I think, if the relationship is that strong, and you want to be with him physically more often, and that the school near him offers what your current school does, then moving doesn't seem like a bad choice. You could study and live with or near him until he's financially ready to move back to his own town, to which you too move back as well. And it seems fitting, if you were already planning on transferring after the semester anyway. Definitely speak to your parents, though. They will offer the best advice, and support.
