You're right.
I'm so hoping there would be a way but it looks like there isn't.
So how should I go about preparing for this? Should I initiate the breakup to make it easier for him to choose his school? Should I wait until he makes the decision and while I wait, I can start building up wall to protect myself emotionally so I wouldn't be such a mess when it does happen? Or should I just pretend that nothing will happen and we'll have all the time in the world together?
