Hi, I'm going thru a dilemma right now with my girlfriend of over 2 years. I'm moving about 1000 miles away to go to grad school which is 1 year and then I plan to hopefully move to ny. My gf has two years of school left in the town I'm currently living.
It seems like I always start hanging out with a girl I like and before I know it I'm in a long term relationship because I didn't get out when I should. Not to say I don't love my gf because I do. It's just that we have different life goals and I've always known this at heart. She wants to continue living here after graduation because this is where her family lives. I on the otherhand want to see the world.
I know the way I describe makes it seem obvious that we aren't meant to be together forever. I realize we have an expiration date. My dilemma is when to break up. We tried the long distance thing for two months when I had an internship and broke up halfway thru. Now she is talking about driving up there with me to help member settled in and stay for a few days then flying back. I don't know what to make of this suggestion nor do I know the best way of bringing up where she thinks our relationship is going.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
