He said that he might go to a college thats kind of far, if not out of the state.. which is where problems kick in. He said he doesn't want to have to go through the stress, and everything else about distant relationships cause he doesn't want to wait every couple of months. Its just... if we do break up.. and if he does end up leaving to go off to college..... what then? How should I deal with the fact of knowing he will go one day and soon we will have to break up..?
I went through a slightly similar situation. The difference was we are the same age and he decided junior year was the time to break it off in advance to leaving for college. At the time, I was devastated. I know how difficult it can be and I am so sorry you have to deal with it. But after a while I realized what I had gained. It is not worth the emotional pain you will go through. When you know it is not meant to last, it is better that it ends sooner than later. This way you don't have the dread in your heart because you know you are running out of time. This doesn't have to be the case, but I would talk to him and let him know how you feel. Be honest. I am now in college and I am in a committed relationship with said ex's best friend (whoops) who goes to a different college, but we are very honest with each other and know we do not want to ever split. You should save your time and love for someone who will want to be with you, no matter how difficult it gets. Remember, you don't have to follow this advice, just some friendly insight. I hope everything works out for you!
