you answer is simple as this, if you love him, do what it takes to stay with him, BUT doing so while not jeapordizing your possible future in other affairs (work, carrer, other loves, so on) there's no problem in holding on for love, nothing is for free, even love, you have to work for it just like everything else, you have to work, to make it work, but there's a very large diffrence between holding on and trying to keep a relationship together, then living in denial.. use your own judgement, your heart is usually right, but the brain is ALWAYS right, if your heart feels it, and your brain doesn't, then it's time to sit down and talk about stuff, sort out the problems, and figure out if the relationship can even work. sad as it is, even when some are in love, sometimes it's just better for all parties involved to seperate, sometimes for awhile, sometimes permanantly, and kizazz, don't take this as a "your only a kid, you can't possibly love" type post, but it is very rare that the first person you 'love' really ends up being the one you end up with long-term, and truely loving. it is possible to fall in love at that age, but you have alot more men you're going to come across (maybe even women :thumbsup, and at somepoint, you may wonder, why you stuck with someone you thought you loved, and put yourself through that torment, when you could have just moved on (been there done that, i talk from experience) good luck in whatever affairs/decisions you two have from this point on, but remember, just becuase it feels right in your heart, doesn't mean it is right... just some things to think about.
