My boyfriend and I have been together for over 4 years, and are both 21. We have lived together for over 2 years, and just got a new apartment the 1st of June. In a years time, he wants to move away to go to community college in the valley, the only place in my province that offers the course he wants. I said I am more then willing to go down there with him, and I have step relatives there who would be able to help us find a place to live. He said he wants to live alone and does not want me to be there with him. He said he wants to stay with me-relationship wise-for the next year and enjoy the time we have together. He will be down in Yarmouth for at least 2 years, and would not plan to continue the relationship long distance. I'm hurt and no matter what I say to him, it doesn't change his mind. If you were in this situation, would you stay for the year and then wait for him to come back, hoping you'd still want to be together or would you leave him and not bother waiting around? I have waited around for people in the past only to be disappointed and hurt. I am thinking of just ending the relationship now, continuing to live together in 2 separate rooms(I'd be sleeping in my office) and seeing other people. He said he wouldn't be sad if I left because he sees no point in feeling emotions that are not happy, but I know him better then that and I know that he would be upset, even if he didn't show it. Opinions please!... Read More »
