Thank you all for your input! I especially appreciate @juillet’s personal advice.
I love my boyfriend dearly, and we’ve successfully weathered living near each other as well as the trials of a semi-long distance relationship since he started at school. If we didn’t care so much for each other, we probably would have already broken up when he headed off to college last fall.
I value our relationship, but I also value myself, my education and my own experience, and I’ve been trying to evaluate what my best options will be.
I have talked to him about the possibility of me coming to the school he’s currently at, and he really doesn’t seem concerned. I’m already trying to think about ways we could keep our lives somewhat separate if I do go there–I think it would be strict no-contact for the first few weeks!
I really appreciate hearing all these different opinions, thank you!
