If you lived in a place that you didn't like, would you stay?

I live in a state that I do not like. I can't stand the weather and the isolation ( I live 50 miles from town in any direction.) However, I have a good job and a good boyfriend that loves it here and won't leave. Should I suck it up and stay or hit the road and find another life?

Update:

Yes, I'm whining. It's not the boyfriend that is holding me back. It's the starting over. I have lived here 7 yrs and I can't seem to get used to it.

Update 2:

I met the b/f after I moved here.

    Well, do you love your man enough to stay? Like do you find him marriage material? Being isolated sucks, gets boring and rather frustrating so I feel your pain.

    If you feel like there is no way in hell that you can take it any more I say let your man know that this isn't the life for you and go on with your life but ya know if you love the guy big time maybe the both of you can still carry on with your relationship but not there, he can stay and you both can see each other when you do. That's what I would do.

    Cheers.

    You have to be happy w/yourself & your life. It all depends on how much you really love the person you're with & if he's worth being unhappy w/your living conditions. I don't doubt that you can find another job somewhere else that at least w/be as good as this one is. If you live in a more populated area, you'll have more chances of finding a good job anyway. IF you are seriously considering leaving the area & the b/f, I have a feeling that yes, you do have a b/f, but do you REALLY love him that much to even consider making a move!? Did you move there to be w/him? Did you realize what you were getting yourself into? Think of the reasons you moved there, list them, then make a list of the possibilities you'd have if you left there. See which list out weighs the other. Be truthful to yourself w/your answers. If you're young, you deserve to live a good fun life & get as much happines out of it as you can. Loneliness can lead to depression & stress eventually. You deserve happiness & I would say to do whatever it takes to make you happy. At times we all have to have new beginnings with one thing or another. Start on your list! Good luck w/your choice.

    I am tempted to day stick with the man you love and get used to it - but I know from personal experience that you may not be able to do that. You have to be happy with yourself and where you live to be happy in your job, your relationship and everything else. You have to believe in youself that you may love him, but sometimes love is not enough and you will find love again. Believe in yourself - You are the only one that can make yourself happy.

    My dad was in the Air Force, and more than once, we lived in a place my mom hated. Now, true, we were leaving again in

    3 years, but sshe always said, " It's not where you live, but how you live." And, "Home isn't the place, it's the people."

    See if that helps.

    Up to you. Can you find another good Job like that one? And is he worth staying there and being miserable?

    hit the road, you know you need to get out of what is only safe but incomplete , go find yourself, if he did really love you he would let you see life and understand it more. go have your adventure, you know you need it thats why you are asking, take the challenge!

    well you need to think about yourself and maybe you could go to a state that shares the same weather as you and your boyfriend.

    well if you stay you'll probably get used to it. but if you really hate it really bad then you should move maybe if you move you'll find a better job and if your boyfriend loves you e'll understand.
