<human>: I find myself in a bit of a conundrum.

I started dating an amazing girl about 3 months ago. She's perfect for me in a lot of different ways.

The only problem is that I'm graduating medical school this spring and need to make a decision in the next 2-3 weeks on where I want to do my residency training (i.e. on the job training for doctors).

She's in the middle of a masters degree program, so she wouldn't be able to move for at least another year.

Before I met her, I had been planning on leaving my home state in the Midwest (where I've lived my entire life) and moving out to a city on the West Coast;  an area of the country I've always dreamed about living in. Now I'm not so sure.

My biggest fear is that I choose to stick around here for my residency training and the relationship ends up not working out in 6 months or a year or whatever and then I'm still stuck in the Midwest. But I also fear living with the regret of throwing away an amazing relationship that I think has a ton of potential.

There's always the option of trying a long distance relationship for a year, but I don't think it's something either of us want and I'm not sure it would even work.

She's told me she really wants me to stay, but also told me that ultimately it's my decision. She also fears that I'll resent her if I'm unhappy with the program in my home state since I'd be choosing to go there mainly because of her.

For all intents and purposes, both hospitals are well regarded and will provide good training. It's the location that's ultimately the biggest difference; however, work-life balance is likely better at the West Coast program and the national reputation is likely better at the Midwest program.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Throw away a beautiful relationship or throw away a chance to live in a great part of the country based on someone I've only known for three months
