Breaking up for university?

I've asked a question similar to this before.. but this time, I actually did break up for university. My ex I guess I have to call him, and I were like the perfect couple. We were always happy together (more than a year to be exact), and we were always sweet to each other, etc. Now that I've just started university in an intense program, he's still chilling in high school. I wanted him to go to university and get his grades up, but he wants to go to college next year. I still don't compeltely know why I broke up with him... but he's been so depressed lately. Was it wrong for me to break such a meaningful relationship for university? I wanted to be free to explore, since I'm only 18.I'm afraid that he was 'the one', since were were always perfect up to this point. And, why aren't I depressed? I know I love him so much, but why don't I feel any emotions at all? It's almost been a week since the break up

I think you made the right decision. When you go to university you grow and change so much. It is a good thing that you have used your logic in making this decision. University requires a lot of hard work time and dedication. The last thing you need is a distraction. You will meet lots of new friends. You will need time and space to bond with new people. This will make your life happy and productive. Without a serious love interest you will be able to explore your own identity, instead of being seen as part of a couple. This will make you indepentent and strong. If you decide to get back with each other after unversity, then your relationship with stand a much better chance of surviving long term and you will be sure that he or she is the one for you.

when you say you wanted him to go to university, do you mean to the same school as yourself? you mentioned that he does have plans to attend college. he has to determine what is best for his own future... the two of you will have to work through these challenges with the best interest of both individuals in mind, if you desire the relationship to work. i believe you have already made your decision, especially since you have already determined in your mind that he was not "the one", and have had little emotional response to the separation. it seems that your feelings of remorse are only due to his own difficulty with the situation at hand. you say that the relationship was extremely meaningful while also expressing that you wish to be "free to explore". this is perfectly acceptable, but i believe it indicates that you are not perhaps wanting a committed relationship at present, at least not with your ex. it is natural to feel uncertain soon after a breakup, but i think you are searching for affirmation to your own decision.

Omg..this is ridiculous..Breaking up for an university..either u was not in true love or not mature enough to know what love is...U should allow him to shape his own career..tats completely his choice..but ditching him for the same reason has no rationality...just because u cant see him or hang out with him u should not ditch him...Even if u on the other side of the globe and will not be able to meet for another year he is ur BF!..There should be break up only when souls seperate not when physically seperate..Go to him and apologise and begin everything new again! He will be depressed badly..go to him soon
