For me its never been so much about age, but thats probably because, for four and a half years we were CDR and for a year of that we were living together.
For me its more about "what do I need to achieve before I move?" Which is 1)graduate, 2) find a job 3)find a house and 4)pack and get the hell down there.
The reason I stayed in our hometown is because of my degree, which I had 18 months left of. But I have cut this down to 6 to graduate with a three year degree instead of 4. Then I am applying for a correspondence course for the one final year (they can be offered as either as two seperate degrees i.e. 3r+ 1yr or one degree of 4years). Now I'm focussed on applying to courses and jobs. Unfortunately, my SO moved during my end of semester exams last semester and I was a complete wreck so my grades were affected - I got a pass in one course I really needed a credit in (I was two marks off) so a lot of my options regarding next year have been cut off. I have three courses I can apply to...and I haven't really thought about my options if I don't get into any of them... its not something I really want to think about or plan for because I know it will really upset me....
I think my major issue with moving will be leaving my friends and family. To be completely honest, I'm pretty okay with moving away from 99% of my friends cause they haven't been really supportive these last couple of months (not because of the LDR but more all my friends are fighting...) but I have moved home with my family so I think it will be rough moving out again and going through feeling home sick again...
