<p>ive now been w/this guy for over 6 months. I love him very much, but the problem is we are graduating in May. I have applied to tons of colleges (all out of state), and could end up in NY, DC, or even LA (depending on where i get in). Im a very driven person and want to go to Med school after college. "Tom" on the other hand, has never been ambitious when it comes to school. He's smart, but applied to NO colleges (and would never apply to the ones i did anyway). He has recently decided he wants to go to a culinary arts school.</p>
<p>so here lies my decision:</p>
<p>Do i break up with him? So that i can truly be on my own, make lots of new friends (without having to always be with him), and work alot harder in college than i have been in HS while ive been with him.</p>
<p>Or do we stay together, which we have talked about, and which i would absolutley love. He would gladly come to where ever i end up, and find either a community college or a culinary school around the area. </p>
<p>It's a classic case of Head v. Heart, and I absolutley NEED some advice/insight/opinions etc..</p>
<p>What state does NO mean? lol Anyways, I say you stick with him until you make the move and then decide what will be right. Like, for example, if you get there and you guys still talk frequently and you're able to visit, then it could work. If you meet another guy that you're really into and classes get overwhelming and he doesn't make an effort to talk to you, than end it. I have a friend thats a junior in high school and her boyfriend went to pepperdine (which is only 1 hour away from us) and she had a lot of trouble at first, but now he's studying abroad in Italy and they're better than ever, so it just depends on how willing you guys are to making it work.</p>
<p>I think you should stay friends, but not necessarily stay together. Who knows who you'll meet in college, and what you'll want to do? If you get to college and decide that you'd still rather be with your old boyfriend, you can get back together. Having some freedom at first is good, though.</p>
<p>understand that if he moves to another part of the country on you that puts a lot of stress/pressure on a 6 month relationship... consider that</p>
<p>if i were you i would break up with him... post high school high school relationships rarely if ever work out... plus, youve only been goin out 6 months... do you really want him to move for you?</p>
