basically, the title says it all.
i (22f) and my boyfriend (23m), met last year while at school. things were a little rocky at first, but once the school year ended, we had a lot of fun during the summer. we only live 15 minutes away from each other and we love each other’s families. the summer was great.
once we got back to school, we started to see a lot of differences pop up and it would turn into disagreements/arguments. no yelling or anything, it was always respectful l, but it honestly became a little exhausting because it would be the same things coming up again. i want to point out that we know we love each other and can see a great future together.
now it’s the end of the school year and we’ve been together for about a year. we got into a big fight a few weeks ago and this weekend he told me he thinks we should break up. honestly, i agreed. we see some pretty big things differently, like how we want to spend money right now and he also wants to move across the country. i want to finish getting my masters and then travel. it hurt but i understood this isn’t going to work long term.
that being said, we both agreed to date for the summer and then end things once i start school again. it feels freeing not to have any pressure on the relationship, but friends are telling me im setting myself up for failure. i think it will be good for both of us to see what else if out there and if we are the best fit for each other. things have pretty much gone back to normal between me and him, but im unsure on how the future will look.
tldr; my boyfriend and i have been dating for a year and broke up, but are getting back together until the end of summer. he’s going to move out of state then. will i get hurt??
