What do i do?

I've been with my girlfriend for almost 2 years. At the time our relationship started, I made a career move and moved away, approximately 2 hours from our home. She moved with me and we had issues here and there and split up. I was still "seeing" her off and on and soon found out that she was pregnant. We decided to work things out. When the child reached 6 months, we decided she would move back home for her to finish school and the price of daycare (our mothers could watch him). The plan was for her to move back when school was over...or so I thought. We argue like anyone else, but it's getting to be too much to deal with. I always wanted to be with her because I love her and I want an ideal life for my child. Anyways... 1 year into it, she tells me now that she is not moving back to where my job is, and she wants me to get a job in our hometown. I want to do the right thing, i just don't know what the right thing is. Should I move home and hope that our relationship works out and be closer to my child? Should I keep the job I love and be single parents? We can't do the long distance thing, we can hardly do it living together. I feel manipulated... please help. Thank you

Unfortunately, when we make the grown up decisions that result in consequences like bringing a child in the world, we have to be the grown up and sacrifice whatever is necessary for the well-being of the child. I commend you for being the kind of man that is considering what is best for the child. No one can tell you the best decision to make other than you need to put the child's needs above your own.
