Dear Miss Emily:

I have two children in the school system in the town we live. We are looking for a larger place, and my boyfriend hates that he has no choice of where we live. He has no children. I have ties, he does not. This doesn't affect his work, or social life, however it would greatly affect my kids to move them. I wont do it.  What is the solution?

-------------------------------Miss Emily's advice----------------------------

There is no solution that will please him, because you said you won't move your children as it would affect their lives, adversely. Your duty is to your children, and I admire your stance. It's the right one to take! He's just going to have to live with your decision if he wants to stay with you. Personally, I think he's being selfish. A caring man, who truly loved you, would over-ride his selfish desires with an understanding that your children deserve to have their mother tend to their needs, and their emotional security, above and beyond his.
