I gather from your post that you guys are in high school? While I know it's difficult, I'm a huge believer in paying attention to the signs the Universe is giving you, even if it's not something you want to see. You guys are at a huge crossroads in your life. He's going off to the military and you're starting college! How exciting!

Everything is new and you guys are basically starting over. And out of nowhere you're thrown this huge curveball that just happens to coincide with a whole lot of other changes in your life. The chances of you two being able to maintain a romantic relationship are slim to none. But if you let him go because you want to be able to go into these new experiences with a clean slate, you'll head off what's bound to happen anyway (statistics don't lie.. chances of being the exception are rare).. and you guys might have a shot at keeping a friendly relationship and maybe someday reconnecting.

Or you can drag this out.. go against what the Universe is telling you to do.. and end up hating each other and forever ruining any chance of something happening between you again later on. You guys need to go have some life experiences of your own. If you come back together, you'll be so much stronger and independent for it. One thing I'm learning right now, you gotta be able to be on your own to be able to be part of a successful lasting relationship.
