This is what I think you should ask yourself: 1. How long have you two been together? 2. Do you care deeply about this person(love them )? 3. Is it going to be long distance? (over 250 miles away) 4. What would be your reasoning for breaking up? (To have that college experience, to truly focus on school, to save money on expenses like birthday, holidays, and anniversaries?) I would also tell him your reasoning and be honest about it.
I just broke up with my bf of 4.5 years and Iām going into my senior year. My advice - do it if heās not making you happy. Do it if heās not giving you want you want and need. If you are already thinking of ending things chances are there are things in your relationship that might not be working for you. And thatās okay!! Give yourself some grace and also be fair to him. Donāt lead him along on a string if your heart isnāt fully in it. That will just lead to more heartbreak down the road.
That being said a college experience is different for everyone, you donāt need to go to parties every week and get wasted, donāt need random hook ups( personally seen the down fall of a lot of friends I know who did this) the college experience is what you make it to be. Itās not a set guideline you gotta follow.
My gf was happy we didnāt break up. Because she always had someone in her corner to rant to, to support her, to love and cuddle her, to listen to her so she felt heard. Youāre not guaranteed friends your first month or year in college. So itās nice to always have someone who knows you from the start.
A quote I like to go by is āThe group gets smaller every year, but your heart grows bigger everydayā, meaning your close friends will no longer be close, people fade away/drift apart but itās the ones that you love with all your heart. Anyways. Make a wise and knowledgeable choice, hope you well in life!
omg this just gave me dĆ©jĆ vu, i went into my freshman year of college with a boyfriend exactly like that (he broke my trust, i never did, insecure as hell, all of the above) and he was so insecure that i lost SOO many good friendships and opportunities because he would be so upset and scared at everything. i cannot recommend it to you enough to break it off as quick as you can if youāre already thinking about it. if you donāt (from what youāve described) he will very possibly ruin your year.
