What does being your own women mean?
What would make me happy is moving into a warm comfortable climate and finding an awesome job because I just graduated college.
It's not beyond the scope of possibility, so don't tell me to get real.
But I'm in a relationship-long distance. He says he wants to marry me and father my kids but he will go for several days without even calling me. Yes I call him excessively as a reaction to this but it's upsetting to me that he goes about without giving me the time of day or a simple phone call.
It's also not just me he ignores. He ignores fines, and bills. He ignores big time responsibilities. I sense that he is trying but it's often that he wont answer or call because he is out drinking.
So I have the option of moving closer to him and it not working out or it working out wonderfully. OR I have the option of moving further away, which seems more appropriate given the way he's been treating me lately. What should I do?
Sorry, I meant to write woman which is singular.
I have an accent

If he's not a responsible partner, don't get into bed with him.
Sorry if you love him, but it'd be irresponsible to get entangled with someone like that. Unless, of course, you're both able and willing to provide for him, keep him in line, and tolerate his behavior.
Personally, even if you're able, I wouldn't think that you should be willing. While my bluntness may be appalling to some, I think that people like that are a waste of the limited natural resources on this planet.

It means forgetting what you're told women should want, should need or should have and choosing what suits YOU as a person!
This relationship sounds like something I'd never be happy with, if you choose it and you're happy, that's great.
From what you've said, you already know this situation does not suit you, so, I think you need to follow that. When we feel something is or is not right, that's usually the case, I say go with it =o)

Marry him and you will regret it the rest of your life. If it's love, it will last while you establish yourself in the career you trained for. If it's love, he will grow up and turn into a responsible human being. Doesn't sound to me like it's love. He will use you and you will be forever cleaning up his messes. Move to a place where you can plant yourself in the life *you* design. Don't make your decision based on him.
Being your own woman means calling the shots in your life, and not seeing yourself as dependent upon, or secondary to, or an extension of anyone. Good luck to you.

This decision seems pretty cut and dried to me. Why would you want to be with someone so irresponsible? Being your own woman, in this situation, would mean doing what is healthiest for you and would bring you the most happiness.

He's young, I do the same thing sometimes. Jeez he has to have a life before he becomes a drone. You should have one too.

seeing as women is plural , your question does not make sense.
