I'm going to choose not to move away from my girlfriend
Is it because you want to spend more time with her?
Yes, and that she doesn't want me to move away.
I understand the both of you. Being away from your significant other may seem very scary and depressing, so I support both of you wanting to stay close with each other so that you both can thrive together.
I agree.
Looks like this story will have a happy ending. All's well that ends well.
