Divorcing an Alcoholic: Moving Away to Start Fresh? Good/Bad Idea?

Question by nes: Moving away to start fresh? Good/Bad idea?
im 20years old, have a boyfriend of 2 years. hes an alcoholic. I cant find it in myself to leave him but things are very bad and i know i have to. I kinda stopped going to school bc of him so i only have like a semester of college. I do have a good job tho.. i work for a bank as an investigator and make about 2500 a month. I also have quite a bit of money saved up in the bank.. about 35k. Lately Ive been having thoughts of moving away alone.. starting fresh somewhere else.. moving now and spending the summer getting to know the city… I can try to get a transfer for my job and go back to school. I just feel like staying here and staying with him is holding me back, sometimes I think this is a good idea and sometimes I think its absolutely nuts! So idk.. moving somewhere alone to start new is what a lot of ppl say they wish they could be but they dont for one reason or another. I actually have the means to do that but do you think maybe Im just stressed and this is a bad idea or do you think its something that i should really think about and maybe actually try?
