Ok im 18 yrs old and i met my boyfriend of 8 months the beginning of college.well im said to be goin away at the end of my second year which is in 9 months and im wondering whether to break up with him now or wait till the day comes.
you see i asked my friends and they all said to break up with him and not try the long distance relationship thing bcuz we jus might lose contact or just give up and that would be worst than breaking up with him before and meeting up-hopefully-sometime in the future and probably start again then.but i find it so hard to break up with him.i love this guy alot no doubt about that and it breaks my heart everytime i think about it.but i want to make a decision now becuz i dont want to get in the way of our studies.
my boyfriend thinks we should try the long distance relationship but he's also telling me dat i shuld focus on the future and that ill find someone better.but i cant.but there's this naggin feelin in the back of my mind that he may be right but i dont wanna hurt him and my stubborness refused me to believe anyone can be better than him or my future could look better without him.what should i do?please help me im so confused and so sad.

yea so true u need to let that go now and tell him why and dnt hook up woit nobody until u gt settled in whereeva u goin...

Well the two of you are right about needing to focus on your studies and no doubt trying to continue a relationship will get in the way especially being a long distance one. However you are in college now and smart enough to know how to balance things. Alot of people are in a relationship while in college and they just have to learn to balance things out. There is no need for you to be sad or confused, you love him he loves you try and work it out you can't just give up it just doesn't make sense. Work out a plan as far as calling, emailing, and visiting each other. Don't expect too much seeing as the two of you will be focusing on school. Truly it would just be silly to say hey this hurts so bad but we need to break up. You don't do things that hurt that's just how it is. Try it out if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't you learn from your mistakes. Take one for the team if it does end poorly.
