So recently my girlfriend and I have been fighting a little bit because of a conversation we had about our future. We both would love to get married to each other and have a family one day, however, she really wants to follow her dream and move out to L.A. to become an actress. Now I guess I wouldn't mind moving out to L.A. since that is where I'm originally from (we currently live in Wisconsin) however It takes a lot of money and effort to just pick up and move out there, and we both are currently in college in Wisconsin, and I would like to finish up schooling before we even thought about that. So anyways, this has put a strain on us both, because while I would love to support her decision in life, do I really want to sacrifice having to basically give up any kind of my dreams that I have to go out there and help her with hers, especially since she will most likely be unemployed or working for minimum wage while attempting to become a famous movie actress. I guess I kinda just saw myself more of finishing up schooling, getting a place of my own, saving up money to get a house one day, then eventually down the road start a family, and I thought my girlfriend wanted the same thing. Right now she's currently going to school for social work, and has told me that she gave up on her acting dream a while ago, and that she wanted what I did. Now all of a sudden she sees a movie and her dream is back. I just don't know what to do, because while i want to support her, I'm not so sure I would be able to handle her busy actor schedule and not being able to see her a lot if she has to travel for work.

It sounds as if you and your SO do not share common goals and dreams. Hardly, a way to start off a marriage and future together. You sound as if your in your early 20's/late teens, so I wouldn't invest anymore time in this relationship. You have your whole life in front of you...move on.
