Me and my boyfriend are both really open to each other. We talk about all our thoughts, and are always completely honest about our feelings for each other. But lately we've been talking about the future and the truth is, I think he really wants a future with me but... I don't. He's a great guy, I really love him a lot, but the paths we want for ourselves are so very different and I don't think either of us would really get the life I want if we were to stick by each other in the future. And I just have this gut feeling that he's not the right one for me. Plus, I'm moving across the country this summer (which he knows), and I don't think I'll really be able to hang onto him like that. Yet he still seems so happy about the idea of being with me long-term, and it makes me upset to know that my commitment isn't the same as his.
I love him lots, I really do. But the one thing I'm not open to him about is the fact that I don't feel the same way about the future.
So what should I do? Should I be honest with him and tell him that I really don't feel the same way about long-term commitment? But that might break his heart and I don't want that either?? I just feel weird keeping a big secret and sometimes lying to him about my feelings.
