Am I asking too much to reject moving to Florida for my boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

I’m in a relationship with my boyfriend (28) and I just turned 30, and things feel really unbalanced. I’m actively trying to get my health and fertility in order because having a baby is very important to me. I only have one ovary and I have PCOS, so I feel like I don’t have time to waste—but he keeps pushing off doing his part (like fertility testing and lifestyle changes).

We recently had a serious conversation where I told him I don’t feel prioritized or like I matter, especially about our future. After that, he told his family everything, and now I feel exposed and judged. His family has influenced him to leave me before, so now I’m scared it could happen again.

We’re also disagreeing on where to move. I’m currently in South Carolina and my doctors are in Savannah, which is close by. He wants us to move to Florida, which would put me about 5 hours away from my doctors and make my fertility care and medical support much harder.

At this point, I feel like I’m being asked to sacrifice my health and future just to stay in the relationship. Am I asking for too much? I feel like this is only for his own comfort and he's not thinking of me

Reading your post I almost get the impression you're in survival mode or your nervous system is in disarray.

Which may reflect a desperation in terms of male choosing.

He seems insensitive and like he's not taking your needs into consideration. Relationship is about sensitivity and compromise.

You're 28, you still have a bit of time. Perhaps make pair-bond choices from a good place rather than desperation?

I am very much in survival mode. He puts me in so much anxiety all the time because he's never giving me clarity on things so now I dont trust his word or actions because it feels like the rug is always pulled out from under me

With all the negatives you have told us. . . why have you remained in this relationship?

My aim on GAG is to help you spot red flags before they break your heart, not after. 💔✨

You are absolutely NOT asking too much. You’re literally fighting for your health, fertility, and future. That’s not “demanding”; that’s survival.

Him stalling on fertility tests, prioritizing his comfort, letting his family influence the relationship, and pushing a move that sabotages your medical care is a huge red flag parade.

You’re allowed to say: “If you can’t prioritize my health and our future, you don’t get access to my future.” That’s not selfish, that’s self-respect, and it’s very, very attractive.

No, you aren't. He's making a huge ask and it is reasonable for you to refuse. If the relationship were stronger you would go, but it's not and you are almost certainly making the right decision.

No, you’re not asking too much. You’re just asking the wrong person.

Take your boyfriend to psychologist and get family counseling
