Making tough choices with women is part of growth as a young man.

When I graduated college I was in an almost 2-year relationship.

She had another year and a half of school and wanted me to stick around and wait for her, and then move back to NYC with her (her hometown).
I had a new job in a sick city and wanted to go live my life, but did enjoy the relationship w/ this girl.

If I did what she wanted, I knew I'd get complacent and would resent her and myself because of it.

Graduate, move in with a girl, the end.

Not how I envisioned my life.
I have friends that chose this path and are very happy, and I'm happy for them.

I've also seen too many old HS friends go down this path and are secretly miserable.

Life becomes routine.

Wake up, go to work, come home, maybe bang wife, get nagged for a ring, go to bed.
My ex was a great girl but she had her flaws and even though we had a great relationship I was not ready to slow down my life anytime soon.

I knew I needed to grow, I wasn't who I wanted to be and I knew that steady pussy and a steady paycheck would greatly hinder my growth.
So, we ended up breaking things off and going our own ways.

Truthfully it wasn't what I wanted to do and it wasn't easy at the time mentally, but it's what I HAD to do to grow.

Boys, there are TONS of girls out there. There's no need to be hung up on one.

Put yourself first.
I'm not saying that every guy should break up with their girl just for the sake of it.

I'm saying if you know you're not ready to settle down or if the girl you're with isn't the one you're gonna build an empire with, don't be complacent just because you're getting your nut.
