I dated a wonderful guy for a little over a year. I knew from the beginning that he had intentions of going away to school. I had no expectations of a serious relationship so we became a couple. It did however become serious and we questioned whether breaking up was what we both wanted. We tried the long distance for about a month but it did not work. I was emotionally unstable at the time and had trouble coping with him being so far away. He comes and visits for holidays and it has been about a year since he has been living in another state. Things are much better now and we remain very close. We are in constant contact and do not date other people. We have the label of being friends but still act like a couple. I do want to get back with him eventually because I believe he is the one for me. I know he loves me and I feel closer to him now than I did when we actually were a couple. However, it seems as if our future dreams are pulling us in opposite directions. I would not want either one of us to compromise our plans but at the same time I don't want to go through life wishing he were there. Any advice?
