The biggest heartbreak you may face in a relationship is when you both love each other but want different things. Some people want a traditional life: a house, a family, and kids. Others, however, imagine their lives as a never-ending adventure: travel, new experiences, new people, and living life to the fullest.
One woman faced a dilemma: her dream trip for one year or her partner of three years? She spent the last five years saving up for her gap year, but when the time to get those plane tickets came, her boyfriend changed his mind about long-distance and gave her an ultimatum: me or the trip. So, she had to choose.
