<human>: My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and 10 months. We've lived together almost the entire time and the relationship is good overall. I feel like we have a unique connection because we went through similar difficulties in our childhoods and young adult lives.

I have lived within a 30 mile radius of Charlotte, NC my entire life. My boyfriend is talking about buying a house in the town we live in. His young son lives in VA and he doesn't want to be too far away, and he likes the schools here which is important because he plans on getting custody after finishing school.

The only problem is I've lived in this area my entire life. I don't want to live here for the rest of my life. I don't know if I should tell my boyfriend this because I don't want to break up right at this moment, but I don't know if it will work out in the future. If I stay, I may end up resenting him. If I leave, I may not find anyone else that I love like him again.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: My boyfriend wants to settle down in an area I've lived in my entire life and I want to see more of the world.
