<p>I would greatly appreciate it if someone would give me some . . . advice.</p>
<p>All right here is the thing . . .
I've been going out with this guy for nine months as of yesterday and I'm going for school this fall and well he is staying here (my school is about 3 hrs. away). We were going to break up, then long-distance got into the mix, but I don't think so.
We were going to wait until later in the summer to breakup, but I've been thinking.
Should I breakup with him now or later?
I know, I know, stupid question yeah.
But I . . . we don't honestly want to breakup.
What do you think?</p>
<p>DOn't "break up" before you leave. That's just awkward and pointless if u still like him and don't really want to break up. So...when you leave, say your emotional goodbyes and make sure you both understand that that is the end of your romantic relationship. (I realize it isn't that easy, but this kind of thing isn't ever gonna be easy.) Good luck.</p>
<p>Now. He expects you to do this; long distance relationships are not good when you're a freshman in college. You both know it's going to happen sooner or later. Why not get it done now? It will take a weight off your shoulders and allow you to more fully enjoy the rest of the summer.</p>
<p>If you break up now, would you remain on good terms and remain friends for the rest of the summer? Would you see each other at all?
^Not so much to influence your decision but just something to think about.</p>
<p>I'm not going to be a freshman in college. I'm going to a boarding school (Not because I have issues. I wanted to go.). It is a prep school.
And yes we would be . . . friends.</p>
